Launching Vow this Sunday: Would you ever turn off your Mac's entire internet for deep work?

Hey Product Hunt community 👋

I’m Arnav, a solo developer, and I’m launching Vow this Sunday!

I spent years fighting distraction with traditional site blockers (Cold Turkey, Freedom, browser extensions), but my muscle memory always found a loophole:

• Opening an unblocked website or another browser

• Sneaking into terminal / curl

• Or pausing the blocker "just for 2 minutes" and losing the whole afternoon

Eventually, I gave up on managing blocklists and built Vow: a native Mac app turns your Mac's internet completely off until your timer ends (from 5 minutes to 24 hours), while keeping localhost, local files, and Bluetooth alive. Quitting the app or restarting your Mac won't bring it back until the countdown hits zero.

As we get ready to launch on Sunday, I’d love to ask fellow builders:

1. What is your #1 biggest digital distraction when trying to focus?

2. Have you ever tried working completely offline? Did it actually help your output?

Would love to hear how you manage distraction and deep work!
