SelfControl for MacOS - let's you set a domain blocklist and a time limit. It's pretty tamper proof too, surviving reboots, etc. Really helps me buckle down when I'm resistant to getting work done!
- nbbaier 2y agoI love self control. I really wish there was a better way to automate it, though, so that I didn't have to remember to start it.
- ChildOfChaos 2y agoI use cold turkey to block sites on Mac, it's really good, it's quite powerful with lots of options, many different blocklists and you can have a lot of control over it, i.e block things at certain times, time limit sites, or have to perform an action to gain access (i.e type some words, restart etc)
- nbbaier 2y agoYeah I've been thinking about checking out this as an option too
- al_borland 2y agoI disagree on the tamper proof assessment. I set some limits for myself with it, got bored and wanted to go on a blocked site. It took me all of 90 seconds to guess at what it was doing and manually turn it off by undoing what it did. I won’t tell you what that is, since it’s working for you.
- gnatman 2y agoYes- luckily, in this instance anyway, the things that some HN posters view as "trivial" are to me cumbersome and mysterious!
