Fovely vs LeechBlock NG

LeechBlock NG gives you precise rules: which sites, when, and for how long. Fovely asks one question instead: what are you working on?

The difference

How they work

Rules vs a goal

LeechBlock NG is a toolbox: up to 30 block sets, each with its own schedule, time limit and exceptions. If you know exactly what should be blocked when, nothing is more precise. Fovely skips the rules: you type your goal, and it decides video by video and page by page.

Local vs checked

LeechBlock NG runs entirely in your browser. Fovely sends titles (never full URLs or your history) to its server during a session to decide what fits, and needs a Google sign-in.

Blocking vs motivating

Fovely adds sessions with a timer, breaks, a weekly leaderboard with friends and share cards, so staying focused also feels like progress.

Which one

Pick what fits

LeechBlock NG is the better choice if

  • You want exact rules and time limits, and to write them yourself.
  • You want everything to stay in your browser, with no account.
  • You want a free tool with no paid tier at all.

LeechBlock NG's website

Fovely is the better choice if

  • You don't know in advance which pages will distract you, only what you're working on.
  • You need sites like YouTube for the work itself.
  • You'd like sessions, progress and friends to keep you going.

Questions

Good to know

Can I use both?

Yes. LeechBlock NG can hold hard limits for sites you never need; Fovely handles the ones you need but get lost in.
