mission
Built for balance, not abstinence.
Most blockers treat all entertainment as the enemy. Shft helps you take back control without giving everything up.
01
Not anti-entertainment
Shft doesn't punish you for wanting to game or scroll. Entertainment isn't the enemy. Losing control of the choice is.
02
Pro-intention
The apps you use are built to keep you engaged. Shft puts you back in the driver's seat so you're choosing, not reacting.
03
System-level protection
Willpower alone can't beat teams of engineers. Shft fights back at the browser and OS level so you don't have to.
features
System-level blocking. Intentional browsing.
Willpower alone can't beat teams of engineers optimizing for your attention. Shft fights back at the OS level.
01
Block apps at the OS level
Kills distracting processes: game launchers, social apps, anything that pulls you in.
02
Block websites system-wide
DNS and firewall-level blocking across every browser. No workarounds.
03
Intent mode
Want to open something blocked? Write why first. Browse with purpose, not on autopilot.
04
Focus sessions
Timed sessions to lock in, on this device or all of them at once.
05
Schedules & presets
Save blocking bundles and let recurring schedules start and end them for you.
06
Lockdown mode
No early exit until the timer ends. For when you don't trust yourself.
