For people who’ve already tried willpower
STOP NEGOTIATING
WITH YOURSELF
Every other blocker lets you unblock the whole site for “just one video.” Kyte only unblocks the one video.

The loophole every blocker leaves open
You don’t lose focus.
You negotiate it away.
A normal blocker
You unblock YouTube to watch one tutorial
The tutorial ends. The sidebar is already loading
47 minutes later, you’re watching a stranger rank cereal mascots
Kyte
You allow exactly one video URL
The tutorial ends. The sidebar stays blocked — it was never allowed
You close the tab. There was nowhere else to go
How it works
Allow the page.
Not the site.
Most blockers operate one level too coarse — domain or app. Kyte adds the level that actually matters: the exact page.
App & domain blocking
Everything you'd expect from a serious blocker — schedule sessions, block whole apps or sites, lock yourself out for a fixed window.
URL-level allowlisting
The part nobody else has. Paste the one link you actually need. Everything else on that domain stays exactly as blocked as before.
Locked sessions
Start a session you can't talk yourself out of early. No settings menu workaround, no quick toggle.
What’s next
This is the start.
Not the whole thing.
We’re building a few more pieces of Kyte right now that we’re not ready to show yet. They’ll land here first.
Privacy, by architecture
We don’t want
your data either.
Other focus apps ask for an account before you can block your first site. Kyte doesn’t have anywhere to send your browsing history, because it never leaves your Mac.
Open the app. Set your rules. That's the whole setup.
Everything lives in local storage on your Mac, by default.
Your blocklist and browsing activity are never transmitted anywhere.
Need rules across two Macs? Sync is opt-in, later — never required.
