Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the developer behind ScreenCurb, and I built this tool because I desperately needed it myself. I'm a software engineer. My job is to sit at a computer and think hard. But for years, my actual daily routine looked like this: write code → wait for build → open YouTube → 20 minutes gone → force myself back → hit a bug → "quick break" on Twitter → 40 minutes gone → feel guilty → repeat. My real deep focus time? Less than 30 minutes a day. I tried everything. Pomodoro timers. Website blockers with gentle reminders. Willpower. Accountability apps. Nothing stuck. Because the problem isn't that I didn't know I was wasting time — the problem is that the temptation was literally zero clicks away on the same screen I work on. That's like asking a recovering alcoholic to work inside a bar and just "have discipline." So I built something extreme: a tool that instantly kills your browser the moment you visit a distracting site. No warning, no countdown, no second chance. And then I added Force Mode — a time-locked setting that prevents even me from disabling it when cravings hit. The results changed my life. Not in a dramatic, overnight way. But slowly: I stopped running from hard problems. I started actually solving bugs instead of avoiding them. My sleep improved because I wasn't doom-scrolling at midnight. I started reading books again. I felt satisfied at the end of a workday for the first time in years. ScreenCurb is still an MVP — it's rough around the edges. But it works. And if you're someone who's ever closed a tab in shame and thought "why can't I just stop," this might be the thing that finally helps. I'd love your feedback, your feature requests, and your honest thoughts. And if you try it — tell me how it goes. Every message from someone who got their focus back makes my day. Happy to answer any questions below! 🙏
