Monk Mode blocks feed traps
I made a Mac app for people who open YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, or Reddit front pages and lose an hour. Monk Mode blocks those feeds so you can actually work. If that is your problem too, it is here: https://mac.monk-mode.lifestyle
I built MonkMode to block the feed layer, not the whole site
MonkMode is a Mac app that blocks YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, Reddit front pages, and other feed distractions. I built it because the problem is usually not the whole site, it's the feed layer. Search, subscriptions, and direct links still work. $15 lifetime. Curious if anyone else has found feed-only blocking to be the sweet spot on Mac.

When I built TokenBar (a menu bar app that tracks AI usage limits), the first thing I noticed was that my Gemini Advanced usage was near zero. I'd signed up for it, used it twice, and forgot about it....
Built a menu bar app to track AI usage limits across Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and 20+ tools
If you use multiple AI coding tools, you've probably hit this: You're deep in a session with Claude Code. You're on a roll. Then: "You've reached your usage limit." No warning. No countdown. Just a wall. Now what? Switch to Cursor? Check if ChatGPT still has capacity? How close are you to Copilot's limit? You don't know. None of these tools show you a unified view of where you stand. I was...
