Bonk Tools

Bonk blocks or limits distracting websites so you can focus, using rules you set: lists, schedules, time limits and focus sessions with a Pomodoro timer.

Day 3 building Bonk, my Chrome website blocker.

Wrote 12 how-to guides so Google has something to index: block YouTube Shorts, set up a Pomodoro, block everything except a few sites.

Posted a write-up on https://t.co/z99eH9lzqD, submitted to AlternativeTo.

Search Console is 2 days old and my first 9 impressions were people searching for the bonk game. Wrong bonk.

Now we wait.

Next:
- Get real links to the guides.
- Bonk's first reviews

6 users. The road to the first 100 continues. #buildinpublic

@foundrceo Awesome thanks for the advice! I’m going to try everything lol

Day 2 wrap-up: Product Hunt finished at #644 🫠

Lesson: PH rewards people who already have an audience. I don't have one (yet).

New plan:
- Google help pages
- Bonk's first reviews
- answer people asking for blockers
- ship updates every 2 weeks
- First 100 Users

Long Term:
- IOS companion app

Slow and steady #buildinpublic

@valerioamirani Very good idea I’ll get on that. Thank you!

[Bonk Tools @Bonk_Tools]

@msniezynski Lol I know seems to be resolved now but I learned product hunt is definitely more valuable when you have an audience already. lots of good lessons in a short period time which is still a huge win

Day 2 of launching my website blocker with $0 and 0 followers:
Product Hunt launch day 🚀

Expectation: front page
Reality: #620, and PH's "see all" button was broken, so nobody past the top 50 could find us anyway

Marketing: how its going so far,
Reddit: a bunch of posts removed by the spam filter 🫠
Hacker News: "your account is too new"
r/chrome_extensions: it survived!

Did learn SEO, Search Console and GA4 in one morning though. Onward #buildinpublic

@mo_tawfik89 Yes you just hit save back up in the settings tab and it saves a json file you can restore from anytime. to be clear its your block lists that get exported the built in lists just stay in Bonk but anything you add gets backed up.

I just launched Bonk, a website blocker for Chrome that I built on my own.

What it does:

- Blocks whole sites, or just part of one, like https://t.co/4DQpEgcSxh while keeping the rest of YouTube
- One-click lists like social media or news
- Schedules, daily time limits, and an optional pause before a site opens
- A Pomodoro timer with streaks, and a character who takes it personally when you slack off
- Hard mode, which locks everything for a set time, including Chrome's extensions page, so you can't bail early
- An optional challenge where you have to type out an embarrassing sentence before you can turn it off

What I cared about

- No account, and no limit on how many sites you can block on the free version
- Your lists and browsing never leave your browser. There's no analytics in the extension at all

It's free with no limits on blocking, and you can get some more nice-to-haves with Pro. For launch week, LAUNCH gets 40% off your first payment on any Pro plan until Friday your first month on Monthly, your first year on Yearly, or the whole price on Lifetime.

I'd love feedback, especially anything confusing or broken. I'm one person, so there will be bugs.

This is Bonk. You try to open Reddit, it sends you back to work.

Blocks whole sites or just YouTube Shorts, runs on schedules, and has a hard mode that even locks Chrome's extensions page.

Launched on Product Hunt today 👇
