A Mac app blocker for habits before distractions

By Habit Protector · Updated October 7, 2026

Keep your habit in view when your next distraction is on the computer.

A boundary around distracting apps

Create a rule for selected Mac apps. Choose a supported habit and set when protection runs. Complete the habit to earn access according to the rule.

Keep protection running

Habit Protector must remain running to apply Mac protection. Start at Login helps it return when you sign in. Closing its window keeps it running; quitting the app stops protection until it is opened again.

Connect your own devices with Pro

Shared rules and supported sync can connect your Mac with other supported devices. Select the relevant local apps on each device. Sync requires a connection, while an already configured local rule can work offline.

Choose a Mac-friendly habit

Breathing, grounding, reflection, and custom timers fit the desktop. Do not assume that mobile sensor or health features are available on Mac. The habit picker shows the options supported by your device.

Mac App Store launch

The first Mac App Store release is in preparation. See the download page for availability and expected timing.
