Happy Squid is an intelligent blocker. You can block addictive websites, while preserving access to what's worthwhile. Say you've blocked Instagram but need to text a friend. Use an intelligent exception or chat with Happy Squid and explain why you want to use the site. If your reason checks out, Happy Squid unblocks the site and holds you to that reason. Happy Squid understands the difference between distractions and valid reasons to access a website.

Besides blocking websites and locking them until your session ends, Happy Squid also lets you set intelligent exceptions for each blocked website. This way cutting back on websites does not mean cutting them off entirely. Alternatively, you can explain to Happy Squid what you're working on, and it'll block everything unrelated while allowing the sites your project depends on.
