I run Cold Turkey: https://getcoldturkey.com https://getcoldturkey.com It started as a fun side project in university. My friends needed something to block themselves from playing WoW so that they could study. For three years after graduation, I've continued to work on it in my spare time. In 2015, I decided to see if people would buy the pro version with more features. As it turns out, yes! I was able to quit my job to work on it full time a few years ago.

"Meet your match, Zuckerberg" is one of the best headlines I've read in a long time. You're a very entertaining writer - I can see why you're having success. Great job and I look forward to trying your product!!!

  Thank you! I was thinking of switching it to "Your future self will thank you" because a results from a quick poll I did. Now I'm not sure :)

    Yea that one is better. A snarky one liner is funny, but doesn't communicate any value to your customers. "Your future self will thank you" is a good way of saying "invest in yourself" I like it much more.

Hi, another happy user here. I've been using it for about a year now and it has helped me to be more productive. Not sure if you already know, it can be tricked by setting system clock to a future datetime :)

  You can block time changes under Settings > Blocking in version 4 now :)

I love your work Felix. I've been using Cold Turkey for a couple of years now, and it's a pretty irreplaceable tool for people with focus issues.

I love Cold Turkey! The only issues I’ve had with it are when I find little back doors around the blocks and don’t know how to block those. But those are very few and far between.
