Block Hacker News on Mac
Reading about what other people shipped doesn't count as shipping. Sloth blocks HN so you build instead.
The developer's favorite distraction
Hacker News feels productive because the content is technical. You're reading about new frameworks, startup advice, and industry news. But reading about building is not building. Every 30-minute HN rabbit hole is 30 minutes of code you didn't write.
How Sloth blocks Hacker News
Sloth blocks news.ycombinator.com at three levels: DNS, firewall, and browser redirect. Works in every browser. Your dev tools, localhost, and documentation stay accessible. Only HN is blocked.
Deep work presets for developers
Sloth's "deep work" preset blocks HN, Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube in one tap. Lock a 2-hour session and write the code. Read HN after you've shipped something.
