Days, hours, websites.

  1. 1

    Choose recurring hours

    Set the weekly schedule you want to protect.

  2. 2

    Add distracting websites

    Enter the domains that should be unavailable.

  3. 3

    Let the Mac enforce it

    A local helper keeps blocking without an open settings window.

  4. 4

    Check the menu bar

    See whether blocking is active and when access returns.

Difficult to undo impulsively. Possible to remove deliberately.

Cactus is designed to stop the easy, in-the-moment reversal that makes a blocker useless. It does not claim to outrank the owner of the Mac.
