Lento is a modern distraction blocker for Windows and macOS, built with Python. There are a lot of similar products out there, but we built Lento because we couldn't find an alternative with all of the features we wanted.
- Set different goals for different things, each with their own blocklists and notification presets
- Ability to block both apps and websites
- Can easily set preset time lengths for different goals
- Automatically disables your ability to turn a session off before the block time runs out
- "Soft blocks" where you are given a prompt when opening an app/site instead of an outright block
- Persistent block that survives across uninstalls, logouts, and reboots
- Browser agnostic (works with your favourite browser, whether it's Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Vivaldi, or another!)
- Advanced notification functionality: remind yourself of your goals at set intervals/on idle/when switching apps
- Clean, easy to use UI
- Works across Windows and macOS (Linux support coming soon)
- Free and open source!
