There is a free and open source app called SelfControl for macOS. It allows one to block access to any site one adds to the list in the app for the amount of time the user chooses. Attempt to use multiple browsers, restarting one's machine, deleting the app, etc. won't get around the block either. It's been super helpful for me, so I thought I'd just throw it out there. https://selfcontrolapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
It is SelfControl. It is open-source and free. You select the website you want to block and the time. The moment you click the button no matter what you do, you can forget about accessing those websites until the time is over; there is no cancel button. Restarted mac won't work, you can delete the app no luck. Source: 7 months ago

Put a slightly less than 2hr timer (e.g. I use this https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ but any similar would do), if you are not sure then uninstall and ask for a refund. EZ PZ. Source: almost 3 years ago
