Comment summary: BrowseControl is highly appreciated for its ease of use, user-friendly console, and effective web filtering. It is particularly praised by small businesses for increasing office productivity and securing networks. Users enjoy the ability to block non-work websites easily, supported by excellent customer service. However, some comments suggest that it is more suited for business environments rather than for personal self-control and note its unavailability for macOS users.

It is a good alternative versus other software with same functions but quite expensive

According to AlternativeTo, BrowseControl runs on Windows but not macOS. Can anyone recommend a similar app for macOS?

What is BrowseControl?

BrowseControl's content filtering features allow administrators to configure the internet and application usage permissions of the students, employees, and patrons that use their managed computers.

Content filtering policies for websites, applications, and files can be granularly controlled with filters based on URL, categories, internet ports, and file types. Each configuration option can be customized based on users, devices, departments, or Organizational Units (OUs) to provide a solution that fits the organization's exact needs.

BrowseControl's filtering features are most often used for preventing access to malware-infested websites, productivity management, CIPA compliance, and enforcing acceptable use policies by proactively preventing employees from accessing inappropriate or unproductive websites.
