Show HN: Site/app blocker and usage tracker specifically for Linux

Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 5, Utility: 6)

Glocker is a Linux distraction blocker that combines /etc/hosts site blocking, program killing during scheduled windows, sudo restrictions, browser extensions, and focus-tracking dashboards. Its deliberate friction mechanics (slow uninstall, typing challenges, sudo windows) and cross-desktop usage tracking make it a more opinionated and feature-rich alternative to simple site blockers.

Target audience: Linux users and devops engineers seeking focus and distraction control
