Hard blocking
Sites are blocked at the system level — not inside one browser tab you can close in a second.

The problem
You don't need more willpower. You need fewer open doors.
Willpower runs out by 3pm. Brainlock removes the decision in the moment — the scroll isn't there to fight when your schedule says focus.
How it works
Three steps. Then your Mac remembers for you.
- 1
Download Brainlock and run the 2-minute setup.
- 2
Pick the sites that eat your hours. Set when you're allowed back.
- 3
Brain Guard keeps the rules on, even when Brainlock is closed.
What you get
One job done properly: keep distractions offline until you allow them.
Your schedule
Set recurring free windows once. Brainlock enforces them at the exact minute, even after you quit the app.
Touch ID gate
Need a peek outside a free window? Unlock for 15 minutes or an hour — after Touch ID or your Mac password.
Why not an extension?
Browser blockers are easy to bypass. Brainlock isn't.
