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.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋
🎁 Launch deal: Halt Pro is $19 instead of $29 with the code HALTLAUNCH.
We built Halt because every blocker we tried had the same flaw: the moment work got hard, turning it off took two clicks. The good ones were also subscriptions, and we wanted something affordable that you pay for once.
So Halt blocks through the settings built into Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox (the ones schools use), so there's no extension to switch off. With the Timer lock, Stop is refused, and restarting, changing the clock or uninstalling won't end a session early.
Also in Halt: daily limits (YouTube, 2 hours a day), one switch for Shorts and Reels, an adult filter for the whole PC, and schedules.
Halt Basic is free, and every install gets 7 days of Pro to try first. We'd love your feedback, especially on what you'd want blocked next.
