The Hard Stop — Stop Distractions & Block Sites

The Hard Stop — Site Blocker & Screen Time Limiter Stop doom-scrolling. Reclaim your focus. Take back your time. Most site blockers are easy to ignore: you click "snooze" and go back to wasting time. The Hard Stop is different. It adds real friction between you and your distractions, so quitting the scroll becomes the easy choice. 🛑 WHY "THE HARD STOP"? Set a daily time limit for any website. A live countdown timer shows how much time you have left. When it hits zero, the page goes dark. To get back in you have to wait through a countdown, and with Pro you also have to complete a challenge. Long enough to break the impulse, short enough to stay fair. 💎 CORE FEATURES (FREE) • Precision Site Blocking – Set daily limits for up to 5 sites: social media, news, video, or any custom domain. • Real-Time Countdown – A sleek floating timer shows exactly how much time you have left on a site. • Friction Gate – When your limit is reached, a countdown screen stands between you and the site, giving you time to rethink. • Strict Mode – Once your time is up, there is no snooze.
