I built a Mac app that blocks the feeds that eat your day

If your worst distraction is not work itself but the feeds around it, I built something for that.

Monk Mode is a Mac app that blocks YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, Reddit front pages, and other feed-shaped distraction loops. The goal is simple: make the boring default path the productive one.

It is $15 lifetime and lives at https://mac.monk-mode.lifestyle

I made it because I kept losing hours to “just checking” something and then waking up inside a feed. This is my fix for that pattern, not a generic website blocker.

If you are building on Mac and attention is your bottleneck, I would love feedback from people who actually feel this pain.
