What it does

Hard blockers kill your flow. GentleLimit protects it. GentleLimit is a macOS app that helps you build mindful screen habits without blocking apps. Instead of interruptions, it keeps your usage visible through subtle signals and floating widgets in your peripheral view. Stay aware of how you spend time in distracting apps while keeping your focus intact. Private by design — all data stays on your Mac.
