Focus Blocker

A CLI tool called Focus Blocker that blocks distracting websites (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) for a set number of minutes by editing /etc/hosts, then automatically unblocks itself when time is up — no need to remember to turn it back on.

@Zair on Focus Blocker

Rewrote Focus Blocker with 3 major QoL improvements: named presets (multiple blocklists for different contexts like study/gaming, not just one global list), a stats command showing total sessions and focus time, and an interactive setup wizard so you don’t have to manually edit text files. Also added a remove command for presets and a help command. The trickiest part was debugging subtle bash issues — a missing space inside [[ ]] that silently broke number validation every time, and a case statement where the wildcard pattern was catching commands before they could match their real cases. To test: run ./focus setup to configure it interactively, then ./focus to block a named preset, and ./focus stats to see your history.
