HeadDown is a tiny macOS menu bar app that frosts over YouTube, X, and any distracting site once you linger too long. Block your time-sinks and keep your focus.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built HeadDown because I kept “just checking” YouTube or X for a minute and suddenly losing 30. HeadDown lives quietly in your macOS menu bar and frosts over distracting sites once you linger too long, nudging you back to what you actually meant to work on.
It’s not a strict blocker or a complicated productivity system — just a tiny, visual speed bump that helps you notice when a quick peek is turning into a time sink.
I’d love your feedback on:
- Which sites you’d want auto‑frosted
- What kinds of nudges feel helpful vs annoying
- Any ideas for integrations with your existing focus tools
Happy to answer any questions in the comments and hear how you stay focused on your Mac.
