I work on my computer all day and constantly get distracted. There are good screen time apps for phones, but I couldn't find one I loved for my Mac. So I just built exactly what I wanted. My focus has improved dramatically using Ebb.

What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Ebb lets you block specific distracting apps on Mac during scheduled deep work sessions, so you stay in flow without relying on willpower.
  2. Built by a Mac user who spent all day at a computer and could not find a screen time tool that actually worked for desktop workflows.
  3. Unlike phone screen time apps, Ebb is designed specifically for macOS, where most real work and most distractions happen at the same time.
  4. You can set focused work windows that block apps like Slack, Twitter, or YouTube so your attention stays on the task you opened your laptop for.
  5. People using Ebb report a noticeable improvement in focus within the first few sessions, without changing hardware or buying a second device.
