StarBlocker for Windows
StarBlocker for Windows
On Windows, StarBlocker is the whole product: the same screen reader, the same AI judgment and the same block screen as on the Mac, installed as a service that starts with Windows and cannot be closed from the tray.
What Windows can and cannot do
On Windows, StarBlocker does the whole product: every app and every browser is judged.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Administrator approval once at install
Setting up
- Run StarBlockerSetup.exe and approve the administrator prompt; it installs a background service that starts at login.
- StarBlocker starts on its own and adds an icon to the notification area. Click it and log in.
- Write your first rule on the dashboard.
Download StarBlocker after signing up; the download page always has the current build.
What people block on Windows
Every device, one account
- MacStarBlocker for macOS
- WindowsStarBlocker for Windows
- iPhoneStarBlocker for iOS
- AndroidStarBlocker for Android
* On iPhone, StarBlocker judges everything you do in Safari. It cannot see inside other apps: those can be blocked or time-limited, but not judged.
Questions
Can I end it from Task Manager?
The service relaunches it. Removing it takes fifteen minutes, and your accountability partner is emailed.
Does it block Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Steam?
All of them. It judges the display, so a browser, a game launcher and a desktop app are all the same to it.
Does it work on a work laptop?
If you can install software with administrator approval, yes. Rules can be scoped to a schedule, a location or a Wi-Fi network so work and home differ.
Does it work with my phone too?
Yes. One account, the same rules and limits on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android.
