The self-help buddy that won't let you bail.
Mentigo is a warm AI companion that actually knows you — and backs it with something no other app has: Protected mode, a focus lock that kills your distracting sites and apps and holds even if you quit Mentigo or reboot your machine. Show up, and your pet grows with you.
Windows · macOS · Linux — free. Real site & app blocking works in the desktop app.
Lock in. Then it's out of your hands.
Willpower runs out at 11pm. A commitment device doesn't. Start a Protected session and Mentigo takes the decision away from you until the timer ends — the way it should be.
- ✕No give-up button. Once it starts, there's no early exit to click.
- ✕Quitting won't lift it. Close Mentigo and the block stays up.
- ✕A reboot won't either. It restores itself and holds to the deadline.
- ✓Then it lets go. Timer ends, everything unblocks — no lock-outs, ever.
