Last updated: June 18, 2024

Twitter, now known as X, along with various other social media platforms, can significantly consume time and distract from productivity, whether at work or during study sessions. This guide will show you how to quickly and efficiently block twitter or X and any other social media sites, as well as other online distractions, on your computer.

How to Block or Limit Twitter Only

Use a specialized app like HT Task Vector to block or limit social media, including options to monitor time spent on these sites. With HT Task Vector, you can specifically block only Twitter (X), block all social media sites, or set time limits for each or all of them.

  1. Download HT Task Vector and install the app on your computer(s).
  2. Create an account for remote management and log in to your online dashboard at https://manage.ht-vector.com.
  3. Navigate to 'Website Limits' and add both twitter.com and _x.com to the list. Adding both sites ensures that different versions of the site are blocked. The underscore (_) before x.com helps prevent overblocking, so sites like twiX.com are not affected.
  4. Choose 'Block' to keep Twitter completely unavailable, or 'Limit' to set time restrictions on its use.
  5. If you select 'Limit', you can set time restrictions or create a schedule at the bottom of the page.
