... built Verlox because Al terminals have a trust problem. They run things, scroll fills the screen, and you're left reconstructing what actually happened, Blocks is my answer https://www.verlox.app . Every command you run becomes its own card with the command, its output, and a quiet line that tells you the outcome in plain English.

It blocks the specific feeds that wreck attention, like YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, Reddit front pages, and similar infinite scroll surfaces, without forcing you to quit the whole app. That was the difference I wanted myself.

... everyone, I built a free, private, offline focus app that uses Apple Intelligence to understand what you're actually doing. I was fed up with focus apps that just block a list of websites.
