Hi,

I’m looking for a program (Windows) that helps me to keep focused and locks Program X for a certain time.

Why:

I’m super chaotic and impulsive. When I’m studying with Anki, after a couple minutes I’m browsing the internet again, to ‘find more info’ about that super small insignificant detail I dont know in Anki. *Checks clock; 2 hours lost

My solution (which I’m hoping to find):

Have a pre-select set of rules, in which order and time I can use a program. For example:

25 min - Anki - Locked, no internet connection, no windows start button, no task manager, no switching to other windows, full screen

5 min. - free - nothing locked, no restrictions, (but I can’t change my preselected set of rules)

25 min - LogSeq - Locked, no internet connection, no windows start button, no task manager, no switching to other windows, full screen

5 min. - free - nothing locked, no restrictions, (but I can’t change my preselected set of rules)

25 min. - Firefox - Locked, WITH internet connection, no windows start button, no task manager, no switching to other windows, only 1 Firefox-window allowed (IF POSSIBLE), full screen

5 min - free - nothing locked, no restrictions, (but I can’t change my preselected set of rules)

Does someone have a solution for me?

I already found Lockdown Browser (https://web.respondus.com/he/lockdownbrowser/), however that’s only for the browser, that’s not what I meant. I want to use it system-wide and I want to preselect the order and time I can use the programs.

    Seconded. Ideally this would sync with any mobile devices because I am incapable of self-control and putting my phone where I can’t reach it. I might even (gasp) pay for the privilege.
