I built a Mac app that blocks feeds without blocking the whole site

This is a really clean insight — the problem isn’t the site, it’s the feed layer 👍

Most blockers feel too extreme, so your “remove distraction, keep intent” angle makes a lot more sense.

A few thoughts that could strengthen this:

→ Positioning is your biggest advantage
Don’t sell it as a blocker
Sell it as:
→ “use the internet intentionally”
That’s a much stronger hook.

→ Edge case to think about
Users will try to bypass (habit > logic)
So maybe:

optional friction (delay before feed loads)
or “are you sure?” prompts
instead of just hard blocking

→ Big trust + clarity unlock
Before/after visuals
→ show YouTube/X with vs without feed
That instantly clicks for people

→ Stickiness idea
Right now it’s prevention
You could add:
→ “time saved”
→ “distraction avoided”
→ simple daily feedback loop

Curious — are people using it consistently, or more like “turn on when I need to focus”?

Also, I’m running a small project (Tokyo Lore) where we highlight tools solving very specific behavior problems like this and see how they actually land with real users.

Since your angle is super clear (feed vs intent), this could be a strong fit to validate what really sticks.
