NoMoreLeeches

In the eventuality that you feel that you are wasting time in front of the computer while you should be dealing with school or work projects, then you can consider using a third-party tool to improve your productivity. NoMoreLeeches is a lightweight program that provides a simple way to block apps and web pages that are distracting you.

Even though the utility is not truly portable, it does not require installation, so you can simply launch and start configuring. The program comes with a user-friendly interface that consists of a single window where you can write down the list of distractions. Simply put, just type in the name of the program or website as indicated in the GUI, one per line.

The app comes with a Lockdown mode that prevents you from making further modifications to the Settings. Moreover, with this mode on, the app ignores window close events, thus making it a great parental control tool as well.

It is worth mentioning that it includes two different block modes, regular and delayed. As you probably hinted, the regular block entails that the app window will pop if you attempt to access any of the items in the list. The delay block keeps the window focused for a given number of seconds only, but enough so you can see it and know the reason why you can’t open the desired page or app.

NoMoreLeeches is a user-friendly program that enables you to create lists of apps and websites that you are regularly checking instead of your assignments. If you feel that you need an extra step to prevent you from accessing any distractions while working on the computer, then perhaps you can consider giving this app a try.
