SelfControl is a free Mac app that helps you avoid distracting websites. Block your own access to websites or mail servers for a pre-set length of time.

iOS App inspired by a well known SelfControl. It aims to provide a similar functionality on iOS. It allows you to block distracting websites on your iPhone. Have you ever wasted your time on the Internet? Do you need more self control? This is the app for you.

Is this affiliated with SelfControl for Mac? That's my favorite desktop app - it's permanently on. I'm writing this comment from inside a virtual machine. (I was posting something on PH, so I really needed it.)

@_vojto no but I also keep using it all the time and wanted to have a similar soft for an iPhone. Btw. you can always edit "slash etc slash hosts" (sorry but ph xss protection does not let me input it normally :p )

@_vojto that app got me through high school and college hahaha

Looks awesome! Is it open source?

@giacomolaw Thanks. No, it is not an OS app.

@_pawurb Okay, thank you!

Hello Hunters! My second submission. It will be free of charge today so that you can check it out. It is a very simple iOS app, you can use to block distracting websites. I developed it because I did not like alternative options available in the AppStore. You simply add a list of distracting websites and then you can no longer browse them on Safari. Due to iOS restrictions, you can disable the blockage by digging through Safari settings. However since I started using Self Control, I managed to eliminate my habit of mindlessly checking whether internet cats are still funny. Sorry Glasshole Kitty! ;)

Overall, I love the app! and it's been quite helpful in breaking my habit of randomly browsing to YouTube; nevertheless, I wish it had a schedule feature. PS: I normally start it a day ahead to ensure that I do not access YouTube in the morning.
