Blocker

Blocker allows you to block your desired websites so that you can stay focused.

Browser extensions that are currently available surely do a great job, but what about when you have multiple browsers and multiple profiles? It can be a pain to install extensions over multiple browsers and multiple profiles. Similarly, you can easily bypass almost all extension blocks as soon as you open an incognito window. Furthermore, most of the extensions keep on notifying you to get a premium. Blocker helps you to solve this problem.

Installation

go install github.com/coderparth/blocker

After Installation

Note: The program requires admin-level permission.

• macOS & Linux: Use sudo when running commands.
• Windows: Run your terminal (Command Prompt or PowerShell) as Administrator.

Enter only the name of the website (e.g., youtube, not youtube.com).

macOS & Linux Usage

Add a website

sudo ./blocker add <website-name>  # Adds the given website to the blocked list. 

Remove a website

sudo ./blocker remove <website-name> # Removes the given website from the blocked list. 

List all added websites

sudo ./blocker list  # lists all the enabled and disabled websites present in the blocked list.

Disable blocking for a website

sudo ./blocker disable <website-name>  
# If a website is enabled, this command disables the given website from blocking. 

Enable blocking for a website

sudo ./blocker enable <website-name>  # If disabled, it enables the given website for blocking. 

Windows Usage

First: Run your terminal as an administrator.

Add a website

.\blocker.exe add <website-name>

Note

Although, at this moment, enable and disable are similar to add and remove, future features such as time-based blocking, scheduling a block, focus sessions, etc. will be built on top of the enable and disable commands.
