I built a Mac app that blocks feeds instead of whole apps
by•
Most blockers make you quit YouTube, Reddit, or X completely. That never stuck for me because sometimes I need the product, just not the feed.
So I built Monk Mode for Mac. It blocks the parts that trigger autopilot scrolling:
- YouTube Home
- YouTube Shorts
- X For You
- Reddit front pages
- other feed surfaces
The goal is simple: keep the utility, remove the slot machine.
It is a $15 lifetime app for macOS.
If you have fought this problem yourself, I would love to know which feed or surface wastes the most time for you. Site is mac.monk-mode.lifestyle
