I built Monk Mode to block the feeds that steal my attention on Mac

I made Monk Mode because I kept losing hours to the same dumb loop: YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, Reddit front pages, and other feed traps.

It is a Mac app that blocks the distraction feeds instead of trying to willpower your way through them.

What it blocks:

  • YouTube Home
  • YouTube Shorts
  • X For You
  • Reddit front pages
  • other feed-style distractions

Why I built it:

  • I wanted something that feels boring and reliable
  • I did not want a complicated productivity ritual
  • I wanted one tool that makes the bad tab stop being useful

If your work is shipping, writing, or deep focus, this is for you.

Would love feedback from anyone who has tried feed blockers on Mac. What actually works for you?
