Built a Mac app that blocks feeds, not the whole site

This is a super relatable problem — and your solution hits the exact pain point 👍

Most blockers are all-or-nothing, but the real issue is the feed, not the tool.

A few thoughts to make this even stronger:

→ Your positioning is already powerful
Lean into it more:
→ “Block distraction, not access”
That’s instantly clear and different.

→ Show it visually
Before/after screenshots of YouTube/X/Reddit with feed removed
→ this will convert way better than text

→ Behavior edge case
People will try to bypass
So maybe add:
→ soft friction (delay, confirm prompt)
→ instead of just hard blocking

→ Retention idea
Right now it’s just blocking
You could add:
→ “time saved”
→ “sessions avoided”
→ small daily feedback loop

That makes people feel the benefit.

Personally, feed-level blocking makes way more sense — full-site blockers always felt too extreme and unrealistic long-term.

Curious — are users keeping it on all the time, or mostly using it in “focus mode” bursts?

Also, I’m running a small project (Tokyo Lore) where we test tools like this with a focused group of builders and see what actually sticks vs gets ignored.

Since your idea is very behavior-driven (not just a utility), this could be a strong fit to validate real usage patterns.
