Hi Product Hunt community! I'm excited to share Saved for Later.
I’ve been using website blockers for over a decade now. There’s a million of them. They're great, but not perfect.
The websites I find most distracting are also those with information I can’t find anywhere else on the internet — like Reddit, Hacker News and Twitter. So, a workflow I often found myself getting into was looking up some obscure programming fact, finding a helpful link on Hacker News, hitting the block, turning it off, looking at the site, and then… forgetting to re-block it. One week later, I wonder why I was spending so much time on the internet. Whoops!
Also, I want to be able to keep track of which sites I tried to access but wasn’t able to. Weirdly, it helps me be more okay with not accessing Twitter or Reddit right now — I know I can look at it later. All the blocking apps I found tended to redirect me without giving me any option to continue.
So I wrote Saved for Later to address these problems. I’ve been using it for the last few weeks, and I’ve been pretty happy with it. It does an excellent job of keeping me from spending hours doomscrolling like I used to. If this sounds like something that might be useful to you, too, give it a try!
Kudos to "Saved for Later" for solving the age-old dilemma of balancing productivity and access to essential websites.
Congratulations Team 'Saved for Later' on your remarkable launch on Producthunt! It’s a brilliant idea to provide a solution to manage and control distractions without totally blocking them. I do wonder if adding a feature that would allow users to categorize saved links by their nature e.g. 'work', 'entertainment', 'study' would make it even more intuitive. Keep up the good work!
Ad blocker allows you to trust a website to allow ads on it. I use the setting on ign.com so I can watch their videos and write comments otherwise the ad blocker ruins those two functionalities from their website.

Unlike conventional blockers that impose rigid restrictions, Saved for Later is a unique solution that prioritizes your autonomy.
