SelfRestraint

What is SelfRestraint?

This app provides a solution for individuals who find themselves frequently distracted by various websites while trying to focus on important tasks. The app allows users to block access to specific websites for a pre-determined period, ensuring they can continue using their computers for productive purposes without the temptation of getting sidetracked by online distractions. Unlike other tools that completely restrict internet access, this app offers a more tailored approach, enabling users to still access sites they may need while effectively limiting access to those that are deemed distracting. The app runs in the background once activated, preventing users from bypassing the restrictions until the designated time period has elapsed. This application is available for both Windows and Linux operating systems, providing a versatile solution for a wide range of users
