I built Monk Mode because I kept losing entire workdays to a feed I opened for "just a minute."\n\nThe app is not about being dramatic. It is about making the default path less slippery. If a tool is designed to pull you back in, willpower alone is a bad defense.\n\nWhat I wanted was simple:\n- block the worst distractions at the feed level\n- make it annoying enough to break autopilot\n- keep the app light enough that I would actually leave it on\n\nThe bigger lesson for me: focus tools should reduce decisions, not add another dashboard to manage.\n\nI am building Monk Mode for people who want fewer rabbit holes and more shipping.\n\nIf you have your own rituals for protecting deep work, I would love to hear them.
