Groden for macOS

Work behind the dike.

Groden blocks distracting apps and websites on your Mac for the length of a work session, then lets them back in when the session ends.

A Pomodoro timer with a locked mode you can't talk yourself out of, and a command line and MCP server so an AI agent can plan your day.

A session is a stretch of land you've reclaimed. Groden keeps the water out until you're done.

Locked sessions

Start a session with the lock on and it runs to the end. No pause, no early exit, one emergency release every seven days.

Different lists for work and breaks

Block everything during a work phase, or only the feeds. Keep a separate list for breaks, or none at all.

Built for agents

Every session can be started, scheduled, and reviewed from the groden command line or over MCP. Agents can plan a day, but never unlock one.

Coming soon

Groden is in development for macOS 14 and later. It will be sold directly from this site, as a one-time purchase or a subscription.
