Building Halt, a focus blocker for PC

About

Robotics and embedded systems engineer. I work on drones, rovers and robot arms: flight controllers, sensor fusion and computer vision. Mechatronics at GUC, thesis at the University of Stuttgart. I started Halt because I needed a website blocker for my PC that was affordable and had no subscription at all. Nothing I found fit, so we built one: $29 once, yours for good.

Halt - The Windows blocker you can't talk yourself out of

Halt is a website and app blocker for Windows. It blocks distracting sites in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox through the browsers' own settings, so there's no extension to switch off, and closes blocked apps and games. With the Timer lock there's no early exit: Stop is refused, and restarting or uninstalling won't end a session. Also: daily limits (YouTube, 2 hours a day), one switch for Shorts and Reels, and an adult filter for the whole PC. Pro is $29 once, never a subscription.
