A smarter website and app blocker

Block the distraction.
Keep the useful part.

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

Your biggest distractions are often tools you actually need.

Useful and distracting can live one click apart. Nono understands the difference.

YouTube

Your focus goal

Fix the motion bug before the client review.

Other blockers

Block YouTube or allow it.

Nono checks the context

The animation tutorial helps. The home studio tour that follows does not.

Slack

Your focus goal

Send the launch brief before the team check in.

Other blockers

Block Slack or allow it.

Nono checks the context

The launch channel fits your goal. Browsing #random is a detour.

Reddit

Your focus goal

Find why the build keeps failing before you lose the afternoon.

Other blockers

Block Reddit or allow it.

Nono checks the context

The exact troubleshooting thread can help. The homepage feed can wait.

How it works

Tell Nono what focus means.

  1. Set your focus goal

    Tell Nono what you plan to work on during this session.

  2. Set the hard boundaries

    Keep obvious traps unavailable while leaving flexible tools open to context checks.

  3. Let Nono catch the drift

    Useful pages stay available. When the context stops matching your goal, Nono steps in and guides you back.

Body doubling Your company for the session

Nono stays present while you work—supportive enough to help, calm enough not to distract.

Present during your session

Private by design

Context checks stay on your device.

Nono only needs enough context to compare the visible task with your session goal. Normal screen checks stay in memory for local analysis and are not uploaded.

FAQ

What a context aware blocker actually changes.

Is this just another website blocker?

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.

What happens when Nono spots a distraction?

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.

Can I still hard block a site or app?

Yes. Use hard blocks for obvious traps, and let Nono use context for tools that can be either productive or distracting.

Can Nono tell when YouTube is useful?

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.

What is “body doubling”?

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.

Does Nono upload screen checks?

No. During normal sessions, a screen check stays in memory only long enough for local analysis and is not sent over the network.

How much will the beta cost?

Beta pricing is not final. Joining the list is free and does not require a credit card.

When will invitations arrive?

Invitations will roll out in small groups while the experience is refined. People on this list will hear first.
