Scary Productive is a behaviour training extension — it scares the hell out of you to train away visiting procrastinating websites when you shouldn't. Add a website you want to block in the options and when you try to go to a blocked page you will be redirected to a special video that will make you jump. 😱

Feedless blocks your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feeds in Safari on your iPhone. You can use all other parts of the services as usual, we just block the feed. Take control of your time, and say goodbye to mindless scrolling!

PawBlock is a browser extension that lets you choose which sites you want to stop yourself from accessing. It uses pictures of cute animals to provide some emotional motivation.

AppBlock - Stay Focused is a Self Control android application that helps you (its users) to block distracting applications temporarily on your device so that you can stay focused in school or at work. The blocker app can get activated for a precise time and date, and once the pre-set time duration is over, the blocked apps can be used again.

There are a lot of great apps to stay productive out there, but my personal favourite is AppBlock. It's a really simple app, but it's really effective. You just add the apps you want to block for a certain amount of time, and then the app will block them for you. I love using AppBlock to block social media apps when I need to focus on a project. It's really helpful to be able to block them for a set amount of time, and then unblock them when I'm done. I also like to use it to block games when I need to get some work done. If you're looking for an easy way to stay productive, I definitely recommend checking out AppBlock.

Infocus is a simple Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites when you are trying to focus. It has a few neat features, such as periodic notifications to get you back on track and math problems to discourage you from disabling it :)

I tried Infocus for one day and it was pretty good. I put FB and Messenger as the distracting websites. When the product is on, it closes FB immediately when I tried to open FB. Two things I think can make this product better are:

1) Remind me why I use this product when I am trying to turn it off

Currently I only need to answer 5 calculation questions to turn Infocus off. I get the idea that users might give up turning if off, but the questions are not difficult. I think a better way is to show "why you are use this product" with the question. This would remind me that I am trying to focus on working.

2) The "OFF" button on the window is a bit confusing

When I first tried to use Infocus, I selected the time and then could not find where to "Start" the clock. Later on I realized I should click on "OFF" button. I think change "OFF" to "START" will be more intuitive.
