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.

It is SelfControl. It is open-source and free. You select the website you want to block and the time.

"Flow" is overrated IMHO. It's certainly worth building working methods that... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I've been happily using [Time Sink](https://manytricks.com/timesink/) by Many Tricks to do this for about a year now. It does not automatically merge into a timelapse, but this is accomplished easily with ffmpeg. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

For time tracking I lean on Time Sink. If you want something more manual then I feel like there are a zillion task-tracking timers out there but I couldn't point you to any one in particular. Wikipedia says Toggl has an OSX app so maybe you wanna look at that one first. Source: about 2 years ago
