Streakal

Block distractions. No bypass. Stay focused.

Streakal launched on April 25, 2026.

What it does

Most distraction blockers have a bypass button, you click "take a break" and you're back on YouTube in 10 seconds. Streakal is different. When a segment is active, blocked apps and sites close immediately. No bypass. No workarounds. No excuses. Set your focus schedule, pick what to block, and Streakal enforces it. Streak tracking, accountability pledges, an AI chat assistant, and a distraction-free mode - all in one desktop app for Windows & Mac.

Streakal helps you block distracting websites and apps, build daily focus streaks, and reclaim your productivity. Used by thousands of students, developers, and professionals.

Block distracting apps & websites on your computer. At a fraction of the cost. Streakal blocks distracting apps & websites - so you can get back to what actually matters. Pick the apps and websites you want blocked, and pick a scheduled time.. Hit start and Streakal locks in and blocks distractions with no bypass. Streakal offers a variety of features, but here are some of them. Get help from our in-app chat-bot to help you with anything you need during yourfrom streakal.com

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
