Summary
Timeslicer is an AI-powered distraction blocker that uses real-time screen monitoring and LLM classification to detect and block distractions like YouTube, Twitter, or mindless browsing. Unlike traditional domain blockers, it contextually analyzes what users are actually doing on their screens and triggers full-screen overlays when it detects unproductive behavior. The tool was created by someone with ADHD who found existing blockers insufficient because they only block domains without understanding user context.

Timeslicer is an AI-powered screen blocker that watches your screen, detects distractions, and blocks them in real time. It’s like having a drill sergeant in your computer who knows your goals, when you’re slacking and forces you to lock in.
