It's a good and bad tool. It blocks website's well if you mark them to be blocked permanently.

The major flaw is that you can bypass every time restriction by changing your computer's time via settings or powershell / cmd. This may not sound like a problem initially but it does make a large impact, and defeats the whole purpose of the software being 'unbypassable'.

It seems like it could be solved relatively easily by keeping track of an internal application time, rather than solely relying on the computer's time.

The creator is also politically motivated, and they make that clear rather than remaining neutral, so its worth looking into that before giving them money.

I needed to reduce my screentime on my PC, and after doing a quick research, I bit the bullet on Cold Turkey. And it's the best decision I've made! A powerful PC Blocker which you can use to block certain websites, or even your entire PC. I've used both those features for time-wasting social media sites, as well as using the 'Device Block' feature to completely shut down my PC at night (to not go on it for too long).

One thing which I'll give feedback is to maybe add a customisation feature to colour your schedule blocks, helps label them better. And I hope the developer makes an app for iPhone & Android phones one day!

So far works well, nice UI and easy to block

Amazing security. Locks extremely difficult to bypass. Changed the way I focus forever. 10/10

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.

Annoying and doesn't let me open websites, so it's doing its job.

The premium version also blocks apps and a schedule. Which I personally struggle with, since I usually just open a gaming app and play for hours.

The fact its a one-time payment, shows they do want to help people and not exploiting the fact I have an addiction at least.

Software is useless, can be easily circumvented by launching windows in safe mode and deleting the software folder. Developer would not return money even though he specifies on the website that if the software is not what we expected he would refund.

Brilliant app. Blocks websites AND apps. Free version is brilliant, and paid version is brilliant-er - and absolutely worth the $50 for a lifetime (so that someone else can put a password in and you can't get on certain apps or sites, no matter what you try)! Can bad screen time habits for good.

A really helpful feature is the "Blocks Categories", where you can have lists of websites to block all at once (eg. Games, Social Media, Adult Content, or Sports). They have pre-made ones, and you can customize your own.

Very easy to setup blocks to prevent myslef using distracting apps or websites. I started using it to lock in for exams because I kept procrastinating.

Cold turkey has helped me increase productivity massively

If you are not a dummy, and you can set it up correctly(not hard at all), it becomes one of the best apps on the internet.

Been a user for some time and I love it!
Helps me stay focused and really worth the few $ for the pro version. Especially since it's not a subscription but a one-time purchase for lifetime access. Not at all times without issues but works on almost everything flawlessly. Thank you to the dev. You're a hero

"Cold Turkey nearly destroyed years of work. It failed to block the websites I selected but somehow managed to lock my entire system. Every app would auto-shutdown after 60 seconds. It even interfered with my BIOS/Boot menu, preventing me from navigating with my keyboard. I had to perform a system restore and a clean reinstall of Chrome just to recover my PC. Unstable, dangerous, and refuses to uninstall. Avoid at all costs if you value your data."

Cold Turkey Blocker is an amazing piece of software that has changed my life over the past two months. I used to be a hardcore gamer, spending 7–12 hours a day playing, which was slowly ruining my life. After a lot of searching, I discovered this tool—and it made a real difference.

Over the last two months, with a lot of effort, I’ve managed to put in more than 170 hours of productive work. I don’t think I worked this many focused hours even over the entire past year compared to what I’ve achieved in just these two months.

Thank you so much to the developers of Cold Turkey Blocker 🙂 May God bless you.

It’s rare for me to open an app, try it out, and get this excited.

The design looks sleek. The stats, blocks, and bypass settings are so ingeniously designed and cool.

My heart’s racing - wow. Great work! Seriously!

I’m happy to pay the ONE-TIME FEE for this. No subscription. Awesome. Thanks!

Horrible, keeps closing Chrome even though I have the extension installed.

This has been my ride-or-die web blocker for desktops (Mac and Windows) for the last 3+ years.

Nothing compares to Cold Turkey. It is simple to set up, has endless profile options, and is extremely strict when you need it to be.

One time purchase price for life is unheard of in the modern SaaS world, a breath of fresh air. It is well worth the fee to have password blocking (the safest method IMO if you have an accountable partner/friend).

Also, a side note: I cannot believe how many negative reviews there are on here. These users are likely to be creating their own problems and then blaming the software. Yes, this is an extremely effective blocking tool. If you use it, you may block yourself more strictly than you anticipated. The stricter it is, the more effective it is, and thus the more careful you need to be. This is the software working as it should.

I finally found a site blocker that actually works and doesn't feel like a total headache to use. I ran into a small technical glitch while setting up my block lists, so I reached out to their team expecting to wait days for a response. To my surprise, they got back to me in less than an hour with a clear fix that solved the problem immediately. It's rare to find software these days that combines a rock-solid product with customer support that actually cares. If you’re struggling with distractions and want something reliable, Cold Turkey is definitely worth the investment.
