Dunar vs Cold Turkey
Cold Turkey is one of the strictest blockers on the desktop. But it stops at the edge of your laptop - and the worst hours disappear into the phone in your pocket. Dunar brings the same can't-talk-your-way-out blocking to every device you own.
Every device · One blocklist · Built to be unbypassable
The honest version
Cold Turkey Blocker is excellent at what it does: a genuinely hard-to-bypass blocker for Windows and macOS, with a one-time Pro license. The catch is that it's desktop-only. Your phone - where most compulsive scrolling actually happens - stays wide open. Dunar is for people who want that same strictness everywhere at once: one purchase that covers iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, and stays locked even when you're desperate to get back in.

Cold Turkey is genuinely strict - we're not pretending otherwise. The difference is reach.
It's one of the most respected strict blockers on desktop. Frozen Turkey, scheduled blocks, password and restart-proof locks - it's hard to wriggle out of once a block is running.
The Pro license is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. We think that's the right model, and Dunar follows it too.
If you only ever struggle at your computer, Cold Turkey is a great tool and you may not need anything else.
Your phone is covered, not ignored
The feed, the games, the endless scroll - most of it lives on mobile. Dunar runs on iOS and Android with the same strict locking as desktop, so you can't just pick up your phone the moment the laptop is blocked.
One purchase, every device, in sync
Set a block once and it applies across all your devices. No per-machine setup, no gap to slip through on the device you didn't lock down.
Built to survive your worst moment
Like Cold Turkey, Dunar is designed so that the version of you that wants back in at midnight simply can't - on any device, not just the one in front of you.
Common questions
No. Cold Turkey Blocker is a desktop app for Windows and macOS only - there's no iOS or Android version. If you need to block apps and sites on your phone, you need a different tool. Dunar covers mobile and desktop with a single purchase.
Dunar is built specifically for the gap Cold Turkey leaves: it brings strict, hard-to-bypass blocking to iOS and Android as well as Windows, macOS and Linux, all synced from one purchase.
That's the goal. Dunar is designed to be unbypassable - you can't disable a block in a moment of weakness or uninstall your way out - and it holds that line on every device, not just your computer.
Yes. Dunar is a one-time purchase, gone for good - no monthly subscription. One payment covers all your devices.
