Cold Turkey Blocker

What Cold Turkey Blocker is

Cold Turkey Blocker helps users focus by restricting access to distracting websites and applications. It can block domains, specific URLs, YouTube channels, keyword searches, adult websites or the internet as a whole with exceptions. On Windows, it can also block applications and games, including Microsoft Store apps and window titles. Blocks can repeat weekly and can be locked with timers, schedules, delays, passwords or a computer restart. Break controls include Pomodoro intervals, allowances, rewards, timed delays and limited-use sessions. Statistics show top distractions, include incognito visits by default and can be exported as JSON. A command line interface can start, stop and edit blocks for third-party automation. Settings and statistics are stored locally; the maker says it does not collect device data except product-key use and block-page settings needed to display that page. It supports Windows and macOS, requires administrator rights to install, and is not available for Linux, ChromeOS, Android or iOS. Email is the only support channel, and responses may take one to two business days.
