site-blocker

A CLI to block sites through the systems hosts file.

Installation

cargo install site-blocker

This CLI does not natively support Windows and has not been tested on it. However, nothing is stopping it from working since the hosts file path can be configured as an option. Try it out and create an issue if there are problems.

Usage

site-blocker [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands:
  get     Get blocked sites [aliases: ls]
  add     Add blocked sites
  delete  Remove blocked sites [aliases: rm]
  edit    Edit blocked sites in an editor

Browsers usually require their cache to be cleared before they reflect changes to the hosts file.
