About the Author

I was frustrated when simple tasks ending up taking hours because I would get distracted by sites like Youtube, Twitch, ect...

I would block sites by hand, then I thought, wouldn't it be better to have an automatic system to do this for you?

In 2024 your attention becoming one of the most important resources.

This program cuts distraction at the source and gives you freedom from pervasive content and outside distractions (like email, instant messaging).
