Ask HN: Good tools to block websites/apps to focus?

1 points by thiago_fm 2y ago ↗ HN

I've been always fighting against becoming a dopamine-monkey, and how literally every app tries to get you addicted to it.

I'm wondering if there are any good tools where I can do this also whilst using multiple devices.

I've previously used self-control for Mac, but nowadays I have too many devices.

I don't mind to pay money for it. Tips?

My go-to macos app is https://selfcontrolapp.com/ I blocks websites but not apps.

If you are talking about native apps, then I am not sure. One thing I did was delete Slack app and logged in via slack-web. Then you can close the tab.
