It blocks websites which you put on a blocking list. The nice thing is, that it's possible to put a timer, that it blocks the website for a certain amount of time. After that the block is lifted. In... See more

It's amazing and works perfectly on both my windows and Mac. Good enough for me to actually buy the pro. Keeps me from procrastinating
Perfect for people who need help to finally get productive on their computer. Not a miracle (I'm very creative when procrastinating) but at least you can't wander aimlessly on social networks anymore.... See more
Excellent app for Windows. I've had it for around three years now and it works perfectly as I wanted in a time-saving blocking app. The dev responds via email pretty quickly and addresses your feedbac... See more
This is the best app i used so far
This is the best app i used so far. Simple, concise and it actually works. Also cheap.
You can limit your time on an specific website (and it actually works). You can set a blocking calendar. You can permanently block certain websites.

Where do I start..
Where do I start... I use ColdTurkey now for 6 months... And I was looking for a computer equivalent of another blocker I had installed on my smartphone.
I can tell that ColdTurkey is very bulletproof. Tampering with the settings becomes impossible when a block is active. Screens will close or show a cold turkey page when you try to enter a blocked application or website.
There is just no one coming close to ColdTurkey in turns of computer blockers. Not one being so user friendly and tamper safe.
And the support team immediately helped me through mail. They made sure to follow up on mail and helped me to solve the issue I had eventually.
5 star app in terms of software and support. 😀

Excellent product at good price
Excellent product at a reasonable price. They also offer a 7 day evaluation so you can confirm that it's worth the money.

This is an amazing app that I've been using for years. I felt like leaving a review to support the developer, who has always been great at responding to emails I've had with any questions or issues. I really appreciate that he offers one time purchase instead of subscription and I think it's fairly priced, especially for how much work he has put in. I don't know how I would live without this app, thanks Felix!

Questionable business practices
Cold Turkey Blocker now costs double what it was when I first used it a couple of years ago. In addition, coupons are no longer offered unless you're a student. The price hike is consumer unfriendly and I will have to think about continuing my support of this app.

Best productivity blocker
Easy setup and I love all the included lists of websites. You can block porn, distractions, news, movies and videos, games, and a variety of other things with a click of a button. Also, the scheduled blocks are easy to set up and really help a lot. Great customer service and everything was thought of. For example, the cold turkey website has a built-in timer to make sure that you can't disable the program.
