Distraction blockers worth using
Study Tools · updated 2026-09-07
Soft blockers get dismissed. The ones that work are annoying to disable.
| Type | Effort to bypass | Held up |
|---|
| Browser extension | 2 clicks | no |
| OS-level with password | 30+ seconds | mostly |
| Locked timer mode | Cannot until it ends | yes |
| Phone in another room | Walk there | yes |
Notes
- Block by default, allow-list the course site.
- Schedule the block rather than starting it manually.
- Blocking during breaks too, otherwise the break never ends.
