[Mac App] How to exclude websites from blocking on your Mac using Jomo?
Some websites offer multiple services under the same URL, like YouTube and YouTube Music. If you block YouTube, everything is blocked. That's why Jomo provides an exclusion list!
Create your blocking rule.
Click on Apps & Websites, then on Websites.
In the Websites section, add the site you want to block (for example, youtube.com).
Then, below in the Exceptions section, add the site you don't want to block (for example, music.youtube.com).
Complete your rule setup and confirm!
⚠️ Exceptions defined for one rule do not apply to others. If music.youtube.com is an exception in one list but not in others, it could still be blocked by those rules.
