What is ByeDistraction?
Take back control of your time with ByeDistraction — the powerful, native macOS app that helps you stay focused by automatically blocking distracting applications. We've all been there: you sit down to work, and before you know it, you've spent an hour scrolling through social media or switching between apps. ByeDistraction puts an end to that cycle by letting you create custom schedules that automatically block the apps that steal your attention.
Key Features:
-
Custom Blocking Schedules: Create personalized schedules that match your workflow. Set specific time ranges and days of the week when certain apps should be blocked. Whether it's blocking social media during work hours or games during study time, you're in control.
-
Overnight Schedule Support: Working late? No problem. ByeDistraction intelligently handles schedules that span midnight, so your 10 PM to 2 AM focus session works exactly as expected.
-
Automatic App Termination: When a blocked app is launched during an active schedule, ByeDistraction automatically closes it — no willpower required. The app uses a gentle two-stage approach: first attempting a graceful close, then forcing termination if needed.
-
Beautiful Dashboard: Track your progress with an elegant dashboard that shows how many distractions you've blocked and how much time you've saved. See your active schedules and recent blocking activity at a glance.
-
Easy App Selection: Quickly choose which apps to block from a visual list of all installed applications on your Mac. Add or remove apps from your schedules with just a few clicks.
-
Modern macOS Design: Built with SwiftUI and featuring a stunning Liquid Glass design, ByeDistraction feels right at home on macOS Sequoia. The translucent interface blends beautifully with your desktop.
-
Privacy First: ByeDistraction works entirely on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no data collection. Your schedules and blocking history stay on your Mac.
Perfect for:
- Students preparing for exams
- Remote workers needing to focus
- Anyone looking to build better digital habits
- Professionals who need distraction-free deep work sessions
Stop fighting your impulses. Let ByeDistraction do the work for you.
