Cold Turkey - AI Tools Nav

What it is for

Cold Turkey is a locked website/app-block desk: you toggle Distractions and Focus Mode, and Pro is $45 lifetime (Paddle). Use it when the job is a lock you start at a public $, not when you need Rize’s Basic $9.99 time log only.

Soft-note: Free + Pro $45 lifetime (Paddle product 598305). Distinct from Rize, Motion, and Reclaim.

What makes it unique: the cover is Cold Turkey’s official Blocks UI (Distractions scheduled blocks (5), Focus Mode blocked at all times, + New block…, yellow “Report due Friday morning” note) from getcoldturkey.com/assets/img/hero.webp — not a wordmark. Soft-note: marketing desk chrome (headphones / figure), real Blocks chrome. The Focus Mode row itself is ops of the block.

Key features

Blocks list — Distractions + Focus Mode toggles (cover still; product). One desk. Cover Focus Mode sits here.
Scheduled blocks — “Scheduled blocks (5)” on Distractions (cover; pricing). A schedule, not a Pro tile.
Focus Mode — blocked at all times / no breaks (cover). A mode, not a $45 meter.
Website exceptions — allow-list on Free (pricing). An exception, not Get started.
Lock in place — Pro makes the block hard to uninstall / quit (product). A lock, not Enterprise.
App blocking — desktop apps on Pro (pricing). Apps, not SSO.

Purchase / Download are CTAs (not desks). Free / Pro $ stay in Pricing. There is no AI extra to drop.

Who it's for

Best fit: people who will stay on Free while they time-block a first website list — then Pro at $45 lifetime when they need locked schedules and app blocks, not Freedom Premium $8.99/mo first unless they want cross-device sync.
