# 1 SelfControl alternative for Mac

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/selfcontrol

Free, open-source Mac app that blocks chosen websites for a set time, even after restarts.

SelfControl is hard to stop once a block starts, but it only blocks websites and has few settings. Alternatives add app blocking, schedules, allow lists and breaks, or let you end a session early if plans change.
