Have you tried opening Terminal (Applications - Utilities - Terminal) and using the commands: killall SelfControl or sudo killall SelfControl As it is not working try the hosts file: sudo nano /etc/hosts And look for something like this # BEGIN SELFCONTROL BLOCK 127.0.0.1 www.nasa.gov 127.0.0.1 nasa.gov # END SELFCONTROL BLOCK delete the entire block and hit CTRL + O to save the file and CTRL + X to exit. Everything you put at hosts file like: 127.0.0.1 facebook.com 127.0.0.1 nasa.gov 127.0.0.1 stackoverflow.com Those addresses will be blocked, you will not be able to access them while they are inside the hosts file To stop and delete SelfControl running as a background process: sudo su - cd /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/ rm org.eyebeam.SelfControl To delete the firewall rules that have been introduced by SelfControl, read this blog article by Joshua Kehn. Sometimes deleting what's between the # BEGIN SELFCONTROL and # END SELFCONTROL doesn't work.
On the other side, changing the Date or Time worked perfectly for me! All you gotta do is change your date to something in the future, for example if today is Sep 4 you can change your system date to something like Sep 5!. You open Preferences Open Date & Time. Change the date to something like Sep 5 or any date in the future. Open SelfControl, the countdown will be gone now.
Try opening a website that you blocked with selfControl! If it does work! Then it's all you gotta do. Otherwise try changing the date back to the original date (Sept 4) for example, and try again opening the website that you blocked with SelfControl!
