Cold Turkey Reviews 

The is the best writing app I've found to overcome procrastination. Each day I kept checking my e-mail or watched another YouTube video, postponing my writing more and more. I never hit my daily word count and kept coming up with excuses and promises like "I'll do it tomorrow." (I wouldn't)
Long story short, ever since I started using the app, my daily word count went from 500 words to 1800 words. I think that's all I need to say for how effective the app is.
Greatly recommended!

Genuinely life-changing app... nothing even remotely comes close to CTB for blocking distractions on Mac. Thank you, Felix!

I'm using an M4 Mac Mini with a 2TB SSD and 16mb of memory. My browser is Safari.

Yesterday, I installed and set up Blocker only to stop myself from watching YouTube from 0630 to 1830h on weekdays. I set the security to stop me from changing the settings in any way to prevent myself from cheating.

It did block YouTube completely.

However, I started to get odd things happening immediately.
"Not Connected to the Internet" kept flashing up constantly.
Websites took ages to load. I do mean ages. In fact, my computer became unusable.

I uninstalled Blocker this morning, just to be sure it was the software that is causing my problems.

I will test for today and update this later to be fair to the developer.

It has all the options you could ever want to customise your blocking settings while locks are truly impossible to bypass. Most importantly, I wanted to post a review out of gratitude for the wonderful, personal customer service. But the app in general is amazing, changed my life. You can tell it's created and managed with a lot of care and I hope it stays that way always.

Error of the Chrom extention, I am unable use Chrome, and Google accout, email, it did happend second time, it dangerous. The support sent me an email that they will conntact me in two days....

Garbage software - Do not install!!

Does not work at all on mac and is very difficult to uninstall.

This is the first blocker app on my laptop that I actually can't get around in a moment of weakness... and it's free, has no ads, and is SO easy to set up! It's incredible, and I highly recomend. I just wish it was possible to have the same thing on my phone...

I have the paid version and I am so glad that I found this product. You can block pretty much any thing on it and you can even use a time delay option to unlock the blocker. I usually have the unlock time delay at about a 1-3 hour wait.

I have long been finding some app or software which could block all adult content without exclusion and I finally found that- cold turkey blocker. I am actually porn addicted and was finding such a software which could block all such contents permanently ( many years=permanent ). The thing I liked the most, about the software is that I could block all what I needed in absolutely free of cost which I found nowhere before. I salute the team of this beautiful blocker. I hope, you will continue to keep its free version unchanged so that more people especially younger one like me who are struggling with compulsive use of harmful digital contents can find a way to live a happy productive life again. thank you.

Uma Ótima aplicação de bloqueio, uso para combater certos vícios e dependências de outras apps + Juntando com o Stayfree e bloqueando o Cold Turkey fica impossível de remover qualquer bloqueio.
O essencial está lá gratuitamente, e isso é ótimo!
Permite também ir adicionando sites há medidas que vamos encontrando sem a necessidade de desbloquear configurações s de bloqueios por meio da extensão.
Não dou 5 estrelas pois tem vezes que tem bugs de browsers que não estão no Computador e fica pedindo para instalar a extensão e infelizmente não têm para Android nem iOS!

This app has great blocking and support. It's the best I have found on MacOS for strict blocking and preventing workarounds. I love the variant options for breaks and such as well.

Whenever I've had an issue, Felix has emailed with me directly until the issue was resolved. I appreciate his quick and kind feedback.

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

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 feedback. Nothing that really dissatisfies me about it!

Perfect for people who just can't stop accessing sites that destroys their productivity and well being. Cold turkey is so cold, that even the free version is enough to lock you out of the sites you don't want to access on impulse. Even in private browning modes. It will make sure you will never set eyes on the site again. Highly useful and recommended. Worth going premium.

The Cold Turkey app blocker simply doesn’t work reliably on a Mac: websites are often blocked only with a delay, and in many cases not at all. The blocking can easily be circumvented. The reasons for this are well known – macOS does not grant third-party providers deep system rights. Unfortunately, the developer is not transparent about this, and the shortcomings usually only become apparent after purchase. Then the search for an effective blocker starts all over again. Very frustrating!

I bought cold Turkey couple of years ago. I gained some new features. But the problem is with reliability. I often get crushes of app or it just block me even when I didn't use my PC at ALL! I have multiple windows accounts (work + relax + other people), new features like rewards seems to be working only for each account, so I can only takes breaks on my working account 😅. Recently update introduced error with Edge Browser when I get a pop-up to install extension even when I don't use that browser and I already added ct extension! Now I allowed myself to open relax account 2 times per day (renew set on 02:00 at night). But now I have 0 sessions left despite fact that I didn't log in on relax account at all!

I paid to purchase a license, but it has stopped working for me since it started requiring Cold Turkey chrome extension to be installed.

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 order for it to work an extension needs to be installed in all browser. This works fine for Firefox, only for Chrome (which I need to use for work), there sometimes is an update and it doesn't work anymore. Which means Chrome is shut down after 30 seconds. That's annoying. Fortunately after an e-mail to owner, he sent a working instruction to fix it.

Absolute dog shit software. Blocked me from accessing my browser even though I had the extension installed.

Absolutely failed to work on my computer. Put me in an endless loop of installing addons to my web browser and failing to verify that the addons were installed. Completely locked me out from using browsers entirely and was a huge pain to try to uninstall. I understand the idea is to prevent you from easily clicking a button to turn off a block, but the app shouldn't have locked me out from using the internet entirely when all I wanted was to block a single website. I painstakingly tried to follow the tedious instructions for enabling full access in every possible settings menu for all computers as well as full disc access to my machine, but it still kept acting like the browsers didn't have the extensions installed. Honestly, these verifications should have been made BEFORE locking me out entirely. Felt like I downloaded a virus, not a helpful tool to prevent distractions.
