A smarter website and app blocker
Most blockers only see the website's domain. Nono understands what you meant to do, notices when the same tool stops helping, and gives you a nudge back.
The problem with standard blockers
Useful and distracting can live one click apart. Nono understands the difference.
YouTube
Learn Excel pivot tables.
Block YouTube or allow it.
Excel tutorials help. Golden Retriever Meets Puppy video gets blocked.
Slack
Send the launch brief before the team check in.
Block Slack or allow it.
The launch channel fits your goal. Browsing memes in #random is a detour.
Research customer feedback of our product.
Block Reddit or allow it.
Your company's subreddit is relevant. The homepage feed can wait.
How it works
Tell Nono what you plan to work on during this session.
Keep obvious traps unavailable while leaving flexible tools open to context checks.
Useful pages stay available. When the context stops matching your goal, Nono steps in and guides you back.
I’ll spot the squirrels before they steal your focus.
FAQ
It blocks websites, yes — but based on what is on the page, not the domain alone. Other blockers ask whether a domain is on a block list. Nono asks whether the page in front of you helps with what you’re working on. That’s why one YouTube video can stay open while the next one goes blank.
Nono interrupts the detour and guides you back to the goal you set. Useful work stays available; a page that has drifted away from the session can be blocked before one click becomes twenty minutes.
Yes. Use hard blocks for obvious traps, and let Nono use context for tools that can be either productive or distracting.
That is the idea. A tutorial related to your goal can support the session. When the next video pulls you into an unrelated topic, Nono can recognize the change and guide you back.
Working alongside someone else so that you stay on task — the reason libraries and coffee shops work. Nono, the cute dog mascot, is a low-effort version of that: present for the whole session, reacting to what you do, with no other human to schedule.
No. During sessions, a screen check stays in memory only long enough for local analysis and is not sent over the network.
