I had some luck with Focused Work, which is on Mac/iPad/iPhone, but I was using it more for the pomodoro features than the blocking.
What I liked about it was that I could add Shortcuts to do things like activate a Focus Mode when I was in a pomodoro, or play some focus music.

> Compared to other killers from a public health standpoint, ADHD is bad. Smoking, for example, reduces life expectancy by 2.4 years, and if you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day you're down about 6.5 years. For diabetes and obesity it's a couple of years. For elevated blood cholesterol, it's 9 months. ADHD is worse than the top 5 killers in the U.S. combined.

I’ve struggled with freelancing in the past because there’s too much freedom and not enough structure. Now that I’m medicated and in therapy maybe I should give it another try.
