The difference
How they work
Whole sites vs what's on them
BlockSite works by lists: a site, a category or a keyword is blocked or it isn't. That's clear, but YouTube or Reddit are often where the answer is. Fovely looks at each video or page title and asks whether it fits the goal you set, so the tutorial loads and the rabbit hole doesn't.
Lists vs no setup
With BlockSite you build and maintain your lists. Fovely needs one sentence: what you're working on. Pro adds always-allowed and always-blocked lists for the sites you're sure about.
Everywhere vs the browser
BlockSite also has apps for Android and iPhone. Fovely lives in Chrome and Firefox on your computer.
Which one
Pick what fits
BlockSite is the better choice if
- You want certain sites gone completely, on your phone as well.
- You like managing block lists, categories and keywords yourself.
Fovely is the better choice if
- The sites that distract you are also the ones you need for work or study.
- You don't want to set up and keep up lists.
- You want sessions, breaks and progress instead of a permanent wall.

Does Fovely work on my phone?
