Maxi, the founder of Cactus, working at his desk

Why I made it

The waiting was the problem.

I could stay with a hard programming problem. What kept getting me was the small pause after I handed work to an agent.

A tool call took 20 seconds, so I opened YouTube. The test suite took a minute, so I checked X. The agent finished. I didn't come back.

I wanted one boring guarantee. During work hours, those sites do not open.

Nothing to connect

Keep your agent setup exactly as it is.

  1. 01

    Choose the hours

    Set the days and times when those websites should be blocked.

  2. 02

    Keep coding

    Use Codex, Claude Code, or any other tool. Cactus does not read prompts or watch processes.

  3. 03

    Keep the sites closed

    The websites stay blocked, and the menu bar shows when access returns.
