Why Bloxta?
The story of how we built a simple, private tool to help you reclaim your focus in a world of digital noise.
The Blurring Lines of Work and Life
The shift to remote work brought incredible flexibility, but it also dissolved the boundaries between our professional and personal lives. The same device we use for deep work is also our portal to endless entertainment, social media, and news. This constant context-switching creates a silent tax on our focus. One quick check of a notification can easily spiral into an hour of lost productivity.
At VentureX, we felt this tension acutely. We needed a tool that could act as a digital partition—a way to enforce our own intentions without being restrictive or invasive. We needed to create clear, defined spaces for work and play on a single machine. That's the problem we set out to solve.
Purpose
We built Bloxta to solve a problem we faced daily. It's designed to be simple and effective, helping you stay on track when it matters most.
Private
Your privacy is non-negotiable. All your data is stored locally on your machine, and we never track your activity or collect personal information.
Free
Bloxta is completely free, with no ads, upsells, or hidden costs. We built it for ourselves and want to share it with the community.
Yes, completely free. No ads, no subscriptions, no hidden costs. We built it to solve a problem, and we want to share the solution with everyone.
Your privacy is our top priority. Bloxta is 100% private. Your blocklist and schedule never leave your computer. We don't track your browsing or collect any personal data. Your focus is your business, not ours.
It's simple. You create a list of distracting websites (using a standard browser bookmarks folder) and set a schedule. During your scheduled focus hours, Bloxta will block access to those sites. Outside of those hours, you can browse freely.
Currently, Bloxta is available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. You can download it from the respective web stores.
Yes. We understand that things come up. You can easily pause Bloxta for a few minutes right from the extension icon, allowing you to access a site without having to change your entire schedule.
Instead of the distracting site, you'll see a simple, clean page reminding you to stay on task. It's a gentle nudge to help you get back to what's important without any jarring alerts.
