App blocking

Lock distracting apps by session.

Keep browsers, chat, games, and video apps quiet for the time you choose.

Manage websites with the same rules.

Add domains once and MonkMate blocks them together when the session starts.

Built around the Mac blocking flow.

See menu bar state, permissions, and helper readiness in one focused surface.

Session memory

Bring back your usual focus setup.

Keep repeatable routines for work, study, writing, and planning ready to start.

Testimonials

What long-time Mac users notice.

The common theme is simple: fewer escape routes, without changing the way people work.

Even a 30-minute window between meetings feels usable because focus mode starts immediately.

The rules are session-based, not heavy-handed. It quietly does the job on my Mac.

Daniel ParkBackend engineer

I can keep the websites I need for study while blocking the feed-driven ones.
