Talysman – Website Blocker for Deep Work av Talysman

Talysman is a website blocker and distraction blocker for deep work, studying, and focused browsing. This browser extension works with the Talysman desktop app to block distracting websites during your focus sessions.

Unlike a typical website blocker that you can disable with a click, Talysman uses a physical USB key to make ending a focus session early a deliberate decision.

Pair any USB drive you already own, start a focus session, and put the drive somewhere out of reach. If you want to stop your session early, you'll need to get the key and plug it back in.

• Block distracting websites: Stay away from time-wasting sites like YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, and other distractions while you work or study.
• Focus sessions: Choose when to block websites and stay focused on what matters.
• Physical USB key: Make impulsively disabling your website blocker harder by requiring a paired USB drive to end a session early.
• Custom blocking rules: Choose specific websites to block, allow only the websites you need, or block all websites during focus.
• Automatic browser blocking: Your browser extension applies the rules configured in Talysman desktop whenever a focus session is active.
• Desktop app blocking (Pro): Block distracting desktop applications as well as websites.
• Scheduled focus sessions (Pro): Set recurring focus times to protect your work and study hours automatically.
