Distraction Free
Local, open-source content blocker for macOS + Android
Blocks porn, gambling, piracy, and VPN/proxy bypass always-on, plus social media (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube) on a schedule — hard-blocked 8pm-9am, open the rest of the day with a manual toggle. WhatsApp, Telegram, and Messenger stay exempt. Runs entirely on-device: no backend, no account, no telemetry. Built it because browser extensions are too easy to click off — this blocks the whole device. The "disable" button is a deliberate 24h countdown that never finishes. Free and open source.
Hey! Made this because I wanted a blocker that actually works — not a browser extension I could disable in two clicks. Runs at the DNS/VPN level, filters the whole device, everything stays local (no account, no server, nothing to sign up for).
Happy to answer anything about the design, especially the deliberately "can't easily undo it" disable flow. There's a built-in diagnostic log you can export if you hit a bug — attach it to a GitHub issue and I'll dig in fast.
