Pushcut is a free to download automation utility that helps you kick off your automation when it matters. Use HomeKit scenes, Shortcuts, web services, and custom URLs as notification actions that pop up exactly when they matter to you. Trigger these smart notifications from Shortcuts, HomeKit, schedules, locations, iBeacons, online services (like IFTTT, Zapier, Flow, Integromat, ...), home servers, or anywhere that knows what HTTP is.

My personal use case is a little bit different as I am doing this on an old Mac I am using as a home server, so I am using a Pushcut automation server to get around the fact that this particular mac doesn‘t have Shortcuts. If you want to know more about that, I can get into further detail. Source: about 2 years ago
Do you have a shortcut to create then calendar entries for your shifts by any chance? If so you could schedule a shortcut to be run at the same time using PushCut which sets the focus mode. Source: over 2 years ago
HomeKit buttons can trigger home automations, correct? You can’t run a normal shortcut directly from a home automation, but if you have a spare device, you could use Pushcut to create a Pushcut automation server (PAS), and set up the home automation to trigger a shortcut on the PAS with a webhook.

There is a free and open source app called SelfControl for macOS. It allows one to block access to any site one adds to the list in the app for the amount of time the user chooses. Attempt to use multiple browsers, restarting one's machine, deleting the app, etc. won't get around the block either. It's been super helpful for me, so I thought I'd just throw it out there. https://selfcontrolapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
It is SelfControl. It is open-source and free. You select the website you want to block and the time. The moment you click the button no matter what you do, you can forget about accessing those websites until the time is over; there is no cancel button. Restarted mac won't work, you can delete the app no luck. Source: 6 months ago
The SelfControl app lets you specify web sites that will be blocked. When you run the app, you specify a countdown timer, during which time those apps will be inaccessible. Source: 6 months ago
