  • selfcontrol

    :skull: Mac app to block your own access to distracting websites etc 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.

  • 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.

  • auto-selfcontrol

    Small utility to schedule start and stop times of SelfControl
