Cold Turkey Blocker
Block distracting websites and apps to focus on what actually matters.
Cold Turkey Blocker is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that blocks distracting websites, apps, and even the entire internet to help users stay focused. It is designed to be extremely difficult to bypass once a block is locked, preventing uninstalls and extension disabling. Users can set time limits, schedule breaks, and customize block lists for goals like studying, reducing screen time, or breaking addictive habits.
Users install the desktop app and browser extensions, configure block lists, then start and optionally lock a block that prevents bypassing, uninstalling, or disabling the blocker.
