    It's really hard to bypass Leechblock and it keeps you off distracting websites. Unfortunately, it doesn't do so for apps, which would be useful.

    LeechBlock does not replace Cold Turkey because it only cover broswer usage

    If you're looking for a complete replacement for CTB, this one won't do, as it only blocks websites. Still it does it's job pretty well.

    Blocks exactly what you want it to block. I was afraid I'd need to disable Chrome on my device, but FocusMe even lets you block the specific websites that give you trouble.
