SelfControl: The most effective website blocker for Mac

There’s no way to unblock sites until your timer runs out.

There are plenty of website blocker apps and extensions out there. But in most cases, you can easily disable or remove them when the temptation kicks in.

SelfControl is a Mac app designed to blocks sites with no turning back.

Like most apps, you first add sites to your blocklist and set a duration to block them.

The difference? There’s no way to unblock once the timer starts.

Even if you restart your computer or delete the app (which by the way isn’t recommended), the block stays active until the time runs out.

This one’s for those who need strict, no excuses blocking.

Think of it as your last resort when other blockers don’t work or when you need a foolproof way to detox from social media and distracting sites.
