Intent is a Mac focus app for people who keep disabling hard blockers like Freedom and Cold Turkey.
Instead of locking you out of distractions, it makes you confront them. You type what you're trying to do, an LLM picks an allow-list of apps and sites, and during the session a soft overlay shows up if you open something off-list. Two buttons: "part of the work" or "take me back." Pick one, keep going.No password gates. No scheduled blocks.
