macOS 13+ · Free 7-day trial · No account required
On-device AI that knows the difference between research and a rabbit hole. Same site, different verdicts. No blocklist required.
Every other app punishes you without warning. This one gives you three chances to come back.
Set your distractions. The AI measures your focus. The harder you work, the more you get to indulge. Your doom-scrolling, earned.
Focus is easier with someone in your corner. Pick someone you trust — they hold the only code that can disable the app. Your 3pm self can beg. They decide.

Up to you. Without Strict Mode, quit whenever you want. With it on? It survives Cmd+Q, relaunches on reboot, and needs your partner's 6-digit code to disable. You pick which version of yourself makes the rules.
Everything stays on your Mac. The AI runs locally on Apple's Neural Engine. Your URLs, page titles, and browsing data never leave the device. No cloud. No account. No tracking.
Chrome, Safari, Arc, Brave, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Vivaldi. Desktop apps — Slack, Figma, Xcode, whatever — are tracked natively too.
Nope. AI runs on Apple's Neural Engine. Tab checks happen every 10 seconds. You'll forget it's running.
It reads your tab title and checks it against whatever you said you're working on. Figma tutorial while you're designing? Fine. Figma tutorial while you're supposed to be writing? Caught. It runs entirely on your Mac — no cloud, no one watching.
Right now, Intentional is macOS only. Your Mac is where the deep work happens — and where the distractions live. iOS and Windows are on the roadmap, but we're focused on making one platform bulletproof before we spread thin.
Schedule a Free Time block. Your earned browse balance carries over, social media is unlocked, and nothing gets flagged. Intentional knows the difference between a break and a spiral. You planned the break — enjoy it.
You could've already installed it. One afternoon of focus and you'll wonder why you waited.
