REQUIRED FOR BLOCKING
Accessibility
Control sees which app and site are in front, so it can intercept the ones you chose and keep your log.
CONTROL FOR MAC
Your Mac,
distraction-free.
Block the apps and sites that pull you away, see how your day really went and talk to your coach, right on your Mac.
Free download · macOS 26 or later

Installed
in a minute.
- Open the Control.dmg file
Once the download is complete, open it from your Downloads folder. A window appears with the Control icon.
- Drag Control to Applications
Drop the Control icon onto the Applications folder. Always open Control from that folder: anywhere else, permissions and updates won’t stick.

- Eject the disk
Eject the Control disk in the Finder, then delete the .dmg file: you no longer need it.
PERMISSIONS
What Control
asks for.
Control guides you the first time you open it. Everything is in System Settings → Privacy & Security, and can be turned off at any time.
FOR WEBSITES
Automation
Control closes only the tab of a blocked site in Safari, Chrome, Brave or Edge, without closing your browser. macOS asks once per browser.
OPTIONAL
Microphone and speech recognition
Only to dictate a message or call your coach, and only while you do.
The details of your activity (apps, sites, window titles) stay on your Mac.
SIGN IN
One account,
two devices.
When you first open Control, or later in settings, choose “Continue with Apple”. Use the same Apple Account as on your iPhone: your subscription, credits and achievements come with you.
Apple lets you hide your email address, and Control never sees your password.
UPDATES
Always up to date,
without a thought.
When you first open it, Control asks whether to download and install its updates automatically. Every new version is signed by aim.ai and notarized by Apple before it reaches you.
SUBSCRIPTION
Pay on Mac,
enjoy it everywhere.
L’app Mac est incluse dans Control et Control Coach. Choisissez votre formule dans l’app : le paiement par carte est sécurisé par Stripe.

ALSO ON IPHONE
And in
your pocket.
On iPhone, Control blocks your apps with Apple’s Screen Time. You’ll find the same daily plan, the same coach and your achievements.
