Jiyuu is a system-level desktop application designed to help users take back control of their time and attention. Built for individuals who are serious about breaking bad digital habits, Jiyuu combines a robust website and keyword blocking engine with real-time browser integration, behavioral analytics, and multiple layers of cheat-prevention — so your blocks actually hold.
Whether you're trying to stay focused at work, reduce doom-scrolling, or build healthier screen habits, Jiyuu gives you the tools to enforce your own rules — even against yourself.
How It Works
Jiyuu operates as a strict system-level controller that manages blocking rules, analytics, and configuration from a central desktop interface. It communicates with its companion browser extension via WebSockets, enabling real-time blocking in all Chromium-based and Mozilla-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, and more).
Features
- Circumvent Prevention - Doesn't let you uninstall while the app is locked
- Flexible blocking - Block specific URLs or keywords across all supported browsers
- Fully offline - Blocks apply in real time via a persistent WebSocket connection between the desktop app and the browser extension
- Customizable Block Overlays - Instead of a harsh blocked page, Jiyuu lets you tailor exactly how a site is blocked through grayscale, mute, blurred, or a full block cover
- Analytics & Session Tracking - track website usage on every session with detailed breakdowns
- Block Group Locking - utilize different locking algorithms such as password, deadlines, random texts, and usage limit
