Moda

Focus is not a choice.
It's an environment.

Moda controls your Mac at the OS level. Distracting apps are killed. Websites are blocked. No willpower required.

Moda in action

Three modes

Progressive enforcement.

Always on

Baseline

24/7 blocking. No session needed.

Session

Soft Focus

Stronger blocking. Easy to exit.

Locked

Deep Focus

Allow-list only. Hard to break.

Under the hood

Not a timer. An OS-level controller.

Process termination

Apps killed at the OS level. Restart-loop detection prevents circumvention.

System DNS blocking

Every browser, every app. Via macOS Network Extension. No extension to install.

Timed sessions

25, 50, or 90 minutes. Or open-ended. Auto-end or hold to quit.

Streaks & levels

20 focus levels. Personal records. Streak freezes. Your progress, tracked.

Focus analytics

7-day charts. Session history. Patterns revealed. All data stays local.

Menu bar native

Lives in your menu bar. No Dock icon. Always there, never in the way.

FAQ

Questions.

How is this different from Cold Turkey or Freedom?
Moda terminates processes at the OS level — apps are killed, not hidden. Website blocking uses system DNS, not a browser extension. And Baseline runs 24/7 without starting a session.
Can I bypass the blocking?
Soft sessions end with a hold gesture. Deep sessions require a long hold plus confirmation. The friction is intentional.
Does it work with all browsers?
Yes. DNS blocking is system-wide — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Arc, Brave. No extension needed.
Is my data private?
Everything stays on your Mac. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry.
Why not the App Store?
Process termination isn't allowed on the App Store. Moda is distributed as a notarized DMG — signed by Apple, verified by Gatekeeper.
