Designed to help you unplug

System-level controls and anti-tamper mechanisms keep you accountable to your productivity and sleep goals.

Daily Time Limits

Set separate usage duration limits for weekdays and weekends to accommodate your work and rest schedule.

Night-Time Blocking

Lock down your system during set off-hours (e.g., 20:00 to 07:00) to stop late-night browsing and secure your sleep.

Pomodoro Breaks

Enforce hourly pauses. Automatically suspends or displays a warning at a specific minute each hour to encourage movement.

FullScreen Overlay Mode

Instead of hard shutdowns or suspends, choose a full-screen block warning to allow saving critical work.

NTP Time Enforcement

Blocks clock tampering. The system verifies real-world time via Network Time Protocol before starting.

Tamper-Resistant Security

Locks database permissions to root/administrator only, ensuring you can't easily bypass or reset the counters.
