Show HN: Site/app blocker and usage tracker specifically for Linux

By noufalibrahim 1 min read 0 views 0 comments

I needed an proper application to block sites and apps on Linux based on a schedule. None of the commercial offerings worked properly for me so I wrote my own. This was also my first experiment with AI assisted coding.It blocks sites and apps on a schedule, and takes away your sudo during the hours you choose so you can’t just turn it off. I added several features like tracking usage, giving recommendations etc. and It's been actually very useful for me hence I decided to open source and productize it. Have a few users so far too.It's been a nice learning experience for me. Not just for the implementation but also about the launch and marketing all assisted by AI.
