    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.
