SelfControl, on any OS —
and less all-or-nothing.

SelfControl is a blunt Mac-only timer that blocks whole sites with no take-backs. Refocus works in Chrome on any operating system, can block just the feed while keeping the useful pages, and adds a night schedule and focus timer — no uninstall-to-escape brittleness.

The idea: block the feed, not the site

Every other blocker is all-or-nothing. Refocus blocks just the infinite-scroll surface and keeps the messages, search and pages you actually need — so it actually holds. 100% local: no account, nothing leaves your browser. Free forever.
