Monk Mode: the Mac app that kills feed loops
I built Monk Mode to block the stuff that eats your attention on Mac: YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, Reddit front pages, and other feed distractions.
$15 lifetime. Made for people who want fewer rabbit holes and more shipping.
If you have a feedback loop that keeps pulling you off-task, this is the blunt instrument.

Hey — this is a solid build. Feed-based loops are honestly one of the hardest attention problems because they’re engineered for pull, not intent.
Curious, are you planning to expand this into cross-device blocking as well or keeping it strictly Mac-first for now?
Also, if you’re open, I’m running a small experiment with early-stage builders around attention-heavy workflows and tools like this. $19 entry, winner gets a Tokyo trip (flights + hotel). Round 01 is live (100 cap).
Bot comment. Anyways Monk mode seems goated,
more shipping, fewer rabbit holes” is a strong hook.
Curious — are people actually sticking with it, or does it end up being something they turn off after a while?
