BlockwardBlock sites in Safari
About
Blockward puts you in control of what Safari loads — no subscription, no cloud account, no data collection.
Build your own blocklist of distracting websites and let the Safari Content Blocker extension enforce it silently in the background. Rules are stored entirely on your device; the app never makes any network requests.
WHAT MAKES BLOCKWARD DIFFERENT
- Custom blocklist
Add any domain or URL pattern you want blocked in Safari. - Rule groups
Organise rules into named groups so you can toggle whole categories at once. - Focus sessions
Start a timed session that activates your blocklist and ends automatically. - Block schedules
Set recurring time windows (mornings, evenings, weekends) when blocking turns on automatically. - One-click toggle
Enable or disable the entire blocker without losing your rules. - Private by construction
Blockward collects no personal data and requires no account. Everything stays on your Mac.
WHO IS BLOCKWARD FOR?
- Anyone who loses hours to the same handful of distracting sites
- Students and writers who want focused stretches without willpower battles
- Parents setting healthy browsing boundaries on a shared family Mac
- People who would rather not hand a focus app an account and their browsing history
PRICING
Included: the custom blocklist, rule groups and the one-click toggle, enforced by the Safari extension. Blockward Pro is a one-time in-app purchase — not a subscription — and adds unlimited rules and groups, the full schedule and focus-session features, and all future updates.
