SelfControl for Mac comes as a software stand-in for when your own personal self-control needs some assistance. You can use it to block access to domains for short or extended periods of time. Q: I upgraded my Mac while SelfControl was running, and now it's stuck blocking my websites. That's not a question, but I'll help you anyway. First, download the latest version of SelfControl from selfcontrolapp.com (replacing your older version). Then open it, and the timer should read 00:00 (assuming the block should be over).

Q: Are you planning on making a Windows, Linux, or iOS version? But the source code is free and others have. Try these for Windows: • - GPL and based on SelfControl • that a nice guy made and seems to work.

Try this for Linux: • - GPL and allows you to create blacklists/whitelists of domains and/or specific URLs. IOS is too restricted and the App Store does not allow code - get mad at them. But if you ask nice and pay him well. Mac os x leopard for powerpc g4 download. Q: How do I block a website? To block Facebook, you would add facebook.com to your block list. Sometimes websites have different domains for different functions, and you may need to block all of them to get it working fully.

Q: Are there any other instructions? Choose Help --> Get Started from the menu bar in SelfControl to see a quick tutorial. If you want pictures (although outdated), see this article from. Q: How do I disable SelfControl once it has started?

That's the idea. 'But, but but.' Seriously, chill out. Docker for mac hostname. It's not the end of the world. The timer will run out and the internet will come back again. In the meantime, you may find comfort in curling up in a ball under your desk and rocking back and forth for a while.

Q: I deleted the application, will that do anything? (Except maybe cause problems with the block disappearing at the proper time. Don't do it!) Q: I did some stuff with the terminal that I read on a cool tech site, but it didn't work, what do I do now? We don't know what you did or why you would follow instructions found on the internet before reading this FAQ. Lesson learned right? Q: SelfControl's timer is at 00:00 and I can't start a new block.

And I'm freaking out!!! Sometimes SelfControl is unable to clear itself. If you're using SelfControl 2.0, just wait ten seconds at 00:00, and a button labeled 'Stuck? Stop block manually.'

Will replace the 'Add to Blocklist' button.' Click it and remove your block manually! You may need to restart your computer after removing the block manually to get it working right. If you are running a pre-2.0 release of SelfControl,, then upgrade.

Q: Is SelfControl compatible with VPNs? No, SelfControl will not block websites properly if you're using a VPN.

This is not technically feasible, unfortunately. If you are using a 'partial VPN' like Junos Pulse Secure or Cisco AnyConnect to connect to corporate/university servers, please ensure it is disconnected while SelfControl runs. These applications have a tendency to save your networking state when they connect and restore to that state when they disconnect - so if you turn them on while SelfControl's running, and turn them off after it finishes, your block will 'mysteriously' come back.
