What is predefined
A lot ships already filled in, so a useful setup is a few taps. Here is all of it.
11 built-in Groups
Seven editable starters: Social Media, Short-Form Video, Streaming and TV, Gaming, Shopping, News and Doomscrolling, Dating.
Four locked ones: Adult Content (752,168 sites), Gambling and Betting (291,959 sites), Addictive Substances and Violence and Gore.
All 11 are free. Counts and details on the Groups page.
30 Action presets
Seven shelves. Tapping one opens the editor already filled in, so you can switch it on as-is or change anything first. All free.

| Screen breaks | Every 45 min | Forces a real break after long stretches on screen. |
Peace of mind
Background stress, not a habit you are fighting.

| No news | Always on | Mutes the news cycle completely. |
| Calm evenings | After 20:00 | The apps that stress you go quiet each evening. |
11 habit presets
Digital habits, kept by an Action
Each is tied to one of the Action presets above, which does the blocking.
| Habit | Term | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Quit porn | 30 days | 30 days with adult content blocked, no exceptions. |
| Quit vaping and drugs | 30 days | 30 days away from the shops, forums and triggers. |
| Quit gambling | 30 days | 30 days with every betting site and app shut off. |
| Stop doomscrolling | 21 days | 21 days without the endless feed. |
| Cut your screen time | 14 days | 14 days of taking your screen breaks. |
Physical habits, kept by you
Nothing here blocks anything. You tick them off. The term only applies if you ask for one.
| Habit | Owed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Drink water | 8 times a day | Reminders roughly every two waking hours, 08:00 to 22:00. |
| Go to the gym | Once a day | Suggested 30 day term. |
| Read a book | Once a day | A few pages, every day. |
| No fap | Once a day | Stay clean, one day at a time. |
| Take a walk | Once a day | Get outside once a day. |
| No sugar | Once a day | Skip the sweets today. |
Short on purpose. Something else covers everything it does not. More in Habits and challenges.
10 block messages
Shown on every block screen, under the reason. Pick one or write your own in Settings, Block settings. There is no "none".
Motivational
- You set this block for a reason. Remember why.
- Future you will thank you for closing this.
- This app can wait. Your goals can't.
- You're stronger than this urge.
- Every minute here is a minute away from what matters.
Task reminders
- Didn't you have something to finish first?
- Check your to-do list before you scroll.
- That task is still waiting on you.
- Finish what you started. Then come back.
- Is this more important than what's unfinished?
Keyword packs and site categories
Two more lists, for when you block by hand rather than from a Group.
Keyword starter packs
Gambling, Addictive Substances, Violence and gore, Profanity. Turn on a pack or pick from it, then add your own words or a /regex/.
Site categories
Social Media, Video, Gaming, Shopping, News, Dating, Gambling. Block a category instead of typing domains.
Presets are starting points
Nothing here is fixed. A preset becomes an ordinary Action or Group the moment you save it, fully editable, renamable and deletable.
Presets do keep an identity, though. Edit one and its card knows it is already running, so it reopens your version instead of making a second copy.
