I needed something more serious and tried to get some commercial applications but there was nothing that really worked the way I wanted to (especially not on Linux). In Oct 2025 or so, I picked up aider and started building this out. Halfway through, I switched to Claude Code and used this as a vehicle to learn how to use assistants. It blocks sites and apps on a schedule, and takes away your sudo during the hou
