Note

Superseded by Blockerflow for Mac 1.0.1. In this version the status card showed "Protection active" even when the filter was not running. Please use 1.0.1.

Important

macOS may say "Blockerflow is damaged and can't be opened"

The app is not damaged. Blockerflow for Mac is distributed without an Apple Developer licence, so it is not signed or notarized by Apple, and macOS blocks apps it cannot verify.

After you drag Blockerflow into Applications, open Terminal and run this one command:

xattr -cr /Applications/Blockerflow.app

Then open Blockerflow again. You only need to do this once per install. You can also try right click, then Open, then Open again.

The first release of Blockerflow for Mac. It blocks adult content, piracy sites, Instagram and Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts and Snapchat Spotlight in your browser, closes blocked apps, and uses the same accountability partners and settings sync as the Android app.

What is in it

  • System wide filtering through a local proxy, with the same shared blocklists as Android.
  • Accountability partners: Myself, Time Delay, Friend and AI Coach.
  • Focus Mode, a blocklist and whitelist of your own, and Uninstall Protection.
  • Google sign in to sync your settings with the Android app.
  • Tested with Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Orion and Yandex.

Install

Open the .dmg and drag Blockerflow onto Applications. Then follow the notice at the top: the first start needs one confirmation or one Terminal command. Full instructions: https://blockerflow.net/guides/how-to-install-blockerflow-on-mac/

Requirements

macOS 12 or later, Apple silicon or Intel (universal build). Tested on macOS 27.

SHA-256 of the .dmg: 973c3eb01184981dde48025e0048a1aa6166046132f43c7389e349278b016863

About the "Source code" files below

Ignore Source code (zip) and Source code (tar.gz). GitHub adds them to every release automatically, and they contain the code of the blockerflow.net website, not the Blockerflow Mac app. The only file you need is Blockerflow-mac-1.0.0.dmg.

If you need the source code of the Blockerflow Mac app, you can request it at hello@khaleel.eu.
