My 30-Year Quitting Addiction
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.

App to prevent distractions at work
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.

[Hammer Control] Hammerspoon + SelfControl = Scheduling SelfControl
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.

Is there a way to completely lock some websites for the whole day?
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./

[Question] any website blocker that won't unblock sites until I spend enough time on a particular app?
Not exactly but try https://selfcontrolapp.com/ it is a killer and will not allow you to access it till the block time passes.

Something like Leechblock for safari
System Preferences->Screen Time->Content & Privacy->Limit Adult Websites. Then customize to your liking. This also disables Incognito Mode in safari. Though I can't find any extension that would add a delay before a website loads. The only one is severely outdated.

selfrestraint - Are certain websites a distraction? SelfRestraint is a cross platform application which blocks access to websites for a predetermined period of time. It can not be undone by the app or by a restart – you must wait for the timer to run out.
