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 / 5 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

I did for rudimentary tasks and defaulted to 45mins focus / 15mins break time blocks. Recently jumped on the Flowmodoro train which has been helpful doing creative work (https://focusedwork.app has been great for this), since I can keep going until I really need a break and my breaks are a fraction of the time I spend focusing. But yeah Pomodoro is hard to use for anything that I need to focus on for a long period... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
I'm working on a timer app, and is now up to ~$2k/mo! - https://focusedwork.app It's taught me a lot about the non-technical side of building a product. Very fulfilling from a personal growth perspective. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
