A block your kid
can't

Set it up on the Mac your child uses. The blocking lives in the browser engine, so there's no extension to remove and no toggle to find.

What you see when Browwwser says no

Browwwser showing a blocked page for youtube.com, with the Sites panel open on the right

Blocked sites never load

No countdown, no "continue anyway" button. You get a plain page and a counter of how many times you tried.

Browwwser lock step asking for a recovery password

Lock mode you can't talk your way out of

The blocklist locks behind a recovery password you choose. No unlock button, no timer. Give the password to someone you trust.

Browwwser Schedule panel with a weekly grid of days and hours, with weekday working hours selected

Block on your schedule

Pick the hours on a weekly grid, then add whole groups in one click: social media, news, video, shopping or AI.

Features

Built to hold, not to watch

For parents who want the block to work without reading anyone's history.

Core
Site blocking
The page doesn't load. They see a plain "blocked" page, with no "continue anyway" button to find.

macOS native
Block desktop apps
Add apps to the blocklist, other browsers included, and they close while blocking is on. Otherwise the app version is the workaround, and it's the first one they'll find.

Lock mode
Lock the list behind a recovery password that only you know. While it's locked there's no unlock button — which also ends the nightly renegotiation.
🔒Locked — recovery password required

Bookmarks, passwords, extensions and history import in one click, so their setup for school doesn't get disrupted by the change.

FAQ

What parents ask

No — and it's worth being clear about that before you buy. Browwwser is a browser, not a monitoring suite. There's no remote dashboard, no activity reports, and no phone app. You set the rules on the Mac itself. If you need remote management or reporting, this isn't the right tool.
Mac and Windows computers. It doesn't cover iPhones, iPads or Android. Other browsers on that computer can be closed by blocking them as apps; for a full-device lockdown on a Mac, pair it with macOS Screen Time.
That's the honest limit of any browser-based control, and it's why the Mac's own settings matter alongside this: restrict app installs in macOS, and Browwwser becomes the browser that's actually there. What it does remove is the easy path — there's no extension to disable and no setting inside the browser to turn the block off.
It's most useful once controls start being actively tested rather than simply accepted. Younger children who aren't looking for workarounds may be fine with simpler tools.
It helps. Controls that appear without explanation get treated as an opponent, and an opponent is something to beat. Rules agreed in advance — these sites, these hours, this is why — get tested far less. The technology buys consistency; it doesn't replace the conversation.
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, on top of the 7-day trial.
Yes. Browwwser is available now for macOS 12 or later and for Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), with a 7-day free trial, then $99 per year or $199 once for lifetime access. There is no Linux, iPhone or Android version yet.
Cold Turkey and Freedom are separate apps that control your browsers from outside: Cold Turkey through a browser extension, Freedom through a local proxy on Mac. Browwwser is the browser itself, so there is no extension to disable and no proxy to switch off. The trade-off: Browwwser runs only on macOS, while Cold Turkey also runs on Windows and Freedom also runs on phones. To cover other browsers on your Mac, block them as apps.
Browwwser is made by ARGROUP US LLC and was created by Antoine Remusat, an independent developer who built it after bypassing every blocker he tried. Support answers at support@browwwser.com.
No. Your browsing history, your list of blocked sites and apps, and your schedules stay on your Mac and are never sent to our servers. We only receive what a purchase needs (email, licence, payment through Stripe) and anonymous usage statistics.
