The code is not open source, or atleast not under a permissive license.

Anyone who modifies the code and rebuilds is violating the author's copyright

Strangely, double clicking on the binary opens Chrome for me.

Oh, just noticed there is a little creepy eye watching me in the menu bar as well.

But it shouldn't open Chrome.

This should be fixed, I forgot that AppleScript will open application if it's not running.

I'm a big fan of SelfControl [1]. Though again, OSX-only.

10.7 support please. Out of radical optimism I tried changing the target and rebuilding but of course I got a bunch of errors I don't know how to fix :)

Updating link, but I didn't test it on 10.7.

If you just run the image, on 10.7 the program appears to silently just not work. So far as I can tell. There's an icon and I can set prefs, but nothing happens when I visit the specified sites using Chrome.

Needs to be a bit louder, or even customizable :)

no windows version or mobile native apps?

Sorry, I can't code for Windows.

Mobile app wouldn't really work, because the application has to find out what websites are open on your computer.

Could you add Firefox?

I looked into it, but there's no easy way, Firefox doesn't implement AppleScript API. :-(
