How it works
01
Download Blockd for Mac
Download the app from blockd.app. Apple notarizes it. Sign in with the same account as your iPhone.
02
Use the same blocklist
Your blocks from iPhone apply on your Mac too. Add a site on one device and it blocks on both.
03
Invite your partner
Send a 6-character code to someone you trust. They see your protection status, your blocklist, and every change you make.
Every browser, including private windows
Browser extensions only cover the browser that they are installed in, and many turn off in private windows. Blockd works below the browser, at the DNS level, so Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Arc, and private windows all get the same block.
Why the off switch matters on a Mac
On a Mac, a determined person can undo almost any block in a minute: edit the hosts file, remove an extension, or quit an app. Blockd doesn't pretend otherwise. It makes the off switch visible. Your partner gets an alert within seconds, and your streak resets.
Quiet in your menu bar
Blockd for Mac sits in the menu bar and shows your protection status at a glance. If your Mac sleeps or shuts down, Blockd tells the server first, so your partner doesn't get a false alarm.
Straight answers
What Blockd can’t do
- Blockd blocks by website address. It can't see what is on a page, and it never takes screenshots.
- Anyone can turn off a blocker that they installed. Blockd doesn't stop you. It tells your partner within seconds.
- An iPhone runs one VPN at a time. If you connect another VPN app, it can replace Blockd's connection.
- A few apps use their own DNS and can get around DNS filtering.
Common questions
Does Blockd work in Chrome and Firefox on Mac?
Yes. Blockd blocks at the DNS level on your Mac, so every browser and private window gets the same block.
Is Blockd for Mac a separate purchase?
No. One Blockd account covers your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with one blocklist and one streak.
Is it in the Mac App Store?
Blockd for Mac downloads from blockd.app. Apple notarizes it, so macOS opens it like any other trusted app.
What if my Mac goes to sleep?
Blockd tells the server when your Mac sleeps or shuts down, so your partner doesn't get an alert for a closed laptop.
