Coregent adds the friction your willpower stopped providing on your computer.
Backed by 100+ early adopters
Your brain treats difficulty like danger and distraction like relief. Every escape pays a small dose of dopamine, and a trillion-dollar industry has spent two decades making that dose arrive faster. The pull isn't weakness. It's a system doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Discipline fights the same battle every day and loses a little more each time. Coregent removes the battle before it starts.
The goal was never superhuman discipline. It's an environment that makes focus natural instead of forced. Change what's in reach, and you stop needing the willpower you used to rely on.
Every rep reroutes the path a little further. Skip the switch, finish the session, and the route to focus gets stronger while the route to distraction goes quiet. Do it enough times, and the new path is the one your brain reaches for first.
Most blockers live in the browser. Your habits don't. Coregent runs below them, with the structure of a calendar and the firmness of a locked door.
You choose what gets blocked — sites, apps, entire categories. Everything runs at the kernel level, so there's no browser to switch, no incognito to try. What you block stays blocked.
Friction adds a pause. Enough time for your brain to catch up to the impulse. Blocking removes the option entirely.
Work hours, deep-focus blocks, sleep windows. Set it once. Coregent handles the rest without asking.
25-minute sprints, 5-minute breaks. Or build your own: 50/10, 90/15, whatever rhythm fits your work.
Regent Mode freezes your blocklist and your schedule before the urge arrives. Nothing can be edited, nothing can be switched off. Access comes back only when you've earned it.

NetflixConnect Strava. Nothing opens until a run or a workout is logged. The impulse that sent you to your phone doesn't survive the first kilometer.
Quote after quote, every word typed by hand, no paste, exactly. Long enough for the craving to lose its grip.
You have power over your mind, not outside events. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
