What is Addict?

What is Addict? Addict is a program you can use to prevent yourself and others from using the computer or from using certain applications.

Why would I want to do a thing like that?

You are supposed to work on a project, and you promise yourself that you will - after "just one more" game of Windows Solitaire. Two hours later, you still havent started doing work, and not even Solitaire is going well.
Your kids are spending way too much time playing a new computer game. Sure, you can make a deal with them: limit of two hours per day of playing the game. But who is going to monitor 24 hours a day, making sure the agreement is followed?

Most of todays computer users will recognize at least one of the above situations. The number of people who are in some way addicted to computers is much higher than we often think.

What does Addict do that is so special?

If you schedule Addict to keep you from playing Solitaire, it wont just remind you its time you stopped playing - it will close it for you, and not let you use it again for a while. If you want the computer off at 2am until the next morning, Addict will turn it off and keep it off, guaranteed.

You can use Addict to keep yourself or others from using practically any program, or from using the computer at all.

These are just the basic features of the program. Go ahead, see for yourself.
