Backstory: I had a bunch of scripts to block sites on my work machines by redirecting them 127.0.0.1 etc. and they sort of worked. I needed something more serious and tried to get some commercial applications but there was nothing that really worked the way I wanted to (especially not on Linux). In Oct 2025 or so, I picked up aider and started building this out. Halfway through, I switched to Claude Code and used this as a vehicle to learn how to use assistants.
It blocks sites and apps on a schedule, and takes away your sudo during the hours you choose so you can’t just turn it off. I added several features like tracking usage, giving recommendations etc. and It's been actually very useful for me hence I decided to open source and productize it. Have a few users so far too.
It's been a nice learning experience for me. Not just for the implementation but also about the launch and marketing all assisted by AI.
Really looking forward to feedback from the folks here.
