About Vow
Vow takes a Mac completely offline for a set time, blocking internet access across browsers, apps and network connections rather than filtering a list of websites. Sessions last from 5 minutes to 24 hours, and quitting the app or restarting the Mac does not end one. An early unlock has a 15-minute delay.
It’s designed for focused work, studying and time away from social media. Files, apps, local AI models, localhost and local containers continue to work. Vow runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 26 or later, requires no account, and is distributed directly rather than through the Mac App Store.
