Hello, I am looking for a mac app, or a way I can lock the computer for a given time, for example 6 hours, so that during those 6 hours I can't use it at all. Im particularly interested in it not letting me play certain games like WoW and Diablo2. Any insight appreciated.

How about simply exercising some self-control. Needing to lock yourself out of your own computer seems a bit drastic…especially if the computer is needed for things other than playing games.:)

Well its not that simple

Also I am not the only person who finds these kinds of things useful... otherwise apps like "SelfControl" wouldn't exist.

Also, I dont work with my Mac so I really don't need it.

Thanks anyway for replying.

Sure sounds like you really do need it ~ or something. SelfControl will stop you going online but not from gaming.
