Hey Product Hunt! I'm Evan, and I built Beacon Blocker because I couldn't stop losing hours to the internet even when I was determined to use it productively. After graduation, I was spending my days looking for work that excited me. And day after day, I’d find myself in rabbit holes and on feeds that were pulling me away from my goals. I tried Cold Turkey, Self Control, Opal, and others, but found their all-or-nothing approach frustrating. Being forced to choose between nothing and everything didn’t feel like a choice… so I decided to get to work. Beacon Blocker evaluates every page individually against your stated goals. This allows the user to rescue the best parts of the web, even on the sites most likely to pull you off course. There’s one thing that I kept coming back to while building: this is a rescue mission. If you can get what you need from the web quickly and efficiently you'll spend less time online. Not because you're forcing yourself off but because there's nothing left pulling you back. This leaves more time for the actual life you're trying to build. That's what Beacon Blocker is really for. 7-day free trial on the Chrome Web Store. I encourage all feedback. Feel free to message me for a promo code if you'd like more time with it or want to share.
