Application for managing screen time?

Post Reply New Topic

I always have trouble knowing how long I have spent on something and I won't always remember to turn any sort of timer on. I often just plop in front of the computer and forget all sense of time or existence.

Is there some sort of application for a Mac that will automatically turn on once I open the computer, run in the background, and make a sound at a pre-set time interval (e.g. beep every 10 minutes)?

I need an application which will shut down the laptop, close the lid, and refuse to power up again until at least six hours have passed.

I know that applications which do just this exist, but as a programmer I can't really afford the distraction. It's not really so bad having access to the entire planet's knowledge at one's fingertips though, so I like f.lux; [link] because it can automatically adjust your display chromatography to combat eyestrain, the same issue one faces after any long read.

I have pretty much no ability to keep track of time, prioritize, and filter Internet distractions when I'm tired but trying to do some work, so I do need something like this... Anyone know of at least one specific one that I could download? Please?

After about an hour and a half of searching, I found some, if anyone's interested:
