later VS selfcontrol

The fourth is Later, a simple and nicely designed app that allows you to close and reopen apps and docs. The project has been abandoned, but the dev has made it open source on GitHub, so the code can be reused.

Its called later

Someone in this subreddit recently mentioned that later was no longer being maintained. It's still working without any problem, so no worries as of right now. That said, I plan for the long term and tend to avoid/ditch apps that have been abandoned as something is bound to break sooner or later. It hasn't been updated in some time, I think.

Are you perhaps thinking about Later?

I've been using https://getlater.app/ to save my workspace so I can come back to it another time, but it looks like the app is no longer being maintained.

there is another app similar called later

How does it compare to https://getlater.app/

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.

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.

- https://selfcontrolapp.com/ this is free app. block off all social media and time wasters .. only for mac. if there is nothing to be distracted... IMO I eventually be bored and I was able to get into the zone... not right away... but I told my self... today I study... and I stay in the study room

Apps I have tried and are not enough: - https://heyfocus.com/ - https://freedom.to/ - https://selfcontrolapp.com/ - https://www.forestapp.cc/ - https://www.rescuetime.com/

I'm a huge fan of SelfControl, but the app doesn't let you schedule blocked sessions. auto-selfcontrol seems to not work that great on the newest SelfControl version, since the user needs to type in the password every time SelfControl starts. You can easily click cancel to skip the scheduled SelfControl session.

for mac - SelfControl app (you can set your websites blacklist/whitelist + time). In case you are not on mac, there will be definitely similar apps for other OSs. Just search for some of the keywords from their website /e.g. "apps limiting access to distracting websites" for windows etc./

Not exactly but try https://selfcontrolapp.com/ it is a killer and will not allow you to access it till the block time passes.
