The app will even tell you what score you need to get on the next test or assignment to stay on track toward your final desired grade for the class. IStudiez Pro is available on iOS and the Mac. Mar 30, 2009 - Self Control Now Available as an OS X App. Solves the problem: SelfControl, a simple open source program for Mac OS X that prevents. SelfControl runs a blacklist to which you can add specific sites, incoming mail servers.

SelfControl is a Mac application that some students install to keep distracting sites such as social media from interfering with school work. However, we don't recommend using Self Control -- a number of students have lost all their data after having to reformat and reinstall. Reasons NOT to Install the Software • Blocks Wharton Printing: Blocks ports used by Wharton printers. • Blocks Network and Remote Access: The app interferes with VMware software used to access our remote labs, as well as other remote login applications. The only way to regain access to the network is to reformat & reinstall the OS. In this case, a Time Machine backup and restore will not work, so all applications will be lost.

• Blocks many sites: Blocking one social media site that shares the same server as others may block others as well. (i.e blocking Twitter will also block Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Youtube, Pinterest, etc.) • Permanently Damages System Files: Once preferences are set in the application, it embeds itself in system files to prevent access. Even if the program is removed, the system files are damaged and require a reformat & restore. • Uninstalling is Time Consuming: There is no uninstaller, so students need to locate each program file manually to uninstall. Since system files are permanently affected, uninstalling is not practical. A Good Alternative If you have Google Chrome as your browser, the Chrome extension works well as a way to block certain websites, without the added risks of SelfControl.

Hey I tried asking this on a few other forums, but had no luck. Hoping I have more luck here. Basically I'm trying to set SelfControl, an Internet blocking app, to start automatically at a specific time and run for a specific length of time.

The problem is that the app requires me to manually input my admin password to actually activate the block, which defeats the whole purpose since I can just not type it in and continue to surf to infamy. That's what I need help with. 1tb ssd upgrade for mac pro 2013 that supports bootcamp.

I tried following the instructions posted on awhile ago particularly about using the KeyChain, but they're a bit over my head and that site is no longer active; I can't post on it. So if anyone would be as so kind as to walk me through how to have the admin password automatically inputted into SelfControl, or how to bypass the password requirement completely, I would be very grateful.

I am using the latest version of OS X 10.10, if that makes any difference. Doesn't your router have this ability built-in? I've used it within the router in the past and it's probably better since it'll affect ANY computer that's connected, be it a desktop or laptop or probably tablet. Thanks for actually taking the time to answer. Unfortunently, blocking the router wouldn't work because then my roommtates wouldn't be able to access the internet, and more importantly, it would have no effect on when I'm surfing the web outside the house, which happens quite often.
