Blocking that actually works
STOP NEGOTIATING
WITH YOURSELF
A Mac app that locks down whole apps and runs scheduled focus sessions. A Chrome extension that lets you allow exactly one page while the rest of the site stays blocked. Use either, or both.
Free Chrome extension. Mac app ₹699, one-time. No account.
Two products, one job
One for your Mac.
One for your browser.
Kyte comes in two parts that solve focus at two different levels. The Mac app locks down whole apps on your machine. The Chrome extension controls exactly what you can reach inside the browser. Use either on its own, or both together.
Kyte for Mac
A system-wide focus app for your Mac. Pick the apps that pull you off track, set a schedule, and start a session. During a locked session there is no quick toggle to talk yourself out of.
- Block any app: Slack, games, social media
- Recurring daily focus schedules
- Locked sessions you cannot quit early
- Lives in the menu bar, runs on Apple Silicon and Intel
Kyte for Chrome
Surgical control inside the browser. Block a distracting site, then allow exactly one page on it. Watch the one tutorial without the feed, the shorts, or the recommendations coming with it. Free during early access, install it now while it lasts.
- URL-level allowlisting: allow one page, block the rest
- Block the feed, keep the doc you actually need
- Per-tab website control
- Timed sessions with an optional lock
The loophole every blocker leaves open
The problem is
domain-level blocking.
A normal blocker
You unblock YouTube for one tutorial
The tutorial ends. The sidebar loads. You click once
45 minutes gone. You’re watching a stranger rank cereal mascots
Kyte
You allow exactly one video URL
The tutorial ends. The sidebar stays blocked, it was never allowed
You close the tab. There was nowhere else to go
How it works
Allow the page.
Not the site.
Most blockers operate one level too coarse. The Mac app handles system-level lockdown. The Chrome extension adds the surgical level: allow the exact page, block the rest.
App blocking (Mac)
Pick the apps that pull you off track. The Mac app closes them the moment they open, for as long as your session runs.
URL-level allowlisting (Chrome)
In the browser, paste the one link you actually need. The Chrome extension allows exactly that page. Everything else on that domain stays blocked.
Scheduled and locked sessions
Set recurring focus windows on Mac, or start a session on the spot. Turn on lock mode and there is no quick toggle to talk yourself out of early.
Platforms
Mac. Chrome.
Where you actually work.
Use them separately or together. System-level lockdown on Mac, surgical in-browser control in Chrome.
Kyte for Mac
System-level lockdown for distraction-free sessions
Block whole apps on your machine and lock yourself in
- Block any app (Slack, games, social media)
- Recurring daily focus schedules
- Locked sessions you can't quit early
- Menu-bar control, always a click away
- Runs on Apple Silicon & Intel
Kyte for Chrome
Surgical in-browser control for the one page you need

Privacy, by architecture
We don’t want
your data either.
Other focus apps ask for an account before you can block your first site. Kyte doesn’t have anywhere to send your browsing history, because it never leaves your Mac.
Open the app. Set your rules. That's the whole setup.
Everything lives in local storage on your Mac, by default.
Your blocklist and browsing activity are never transmitted anywhere.
Need rules across two Macs? Sync is opt-in, later, never required.
