Modifying the hosts file requires a mac app to ask for the user’s admin password every time which does not offer a good UX. Are there any other way to block internet (or just websites) access for a limited time on Mac Os X?

You could make a helper tool for your app, which could receive permanent permissions and place it into /usr/local/bin/
Then you would only have to ask for the user’s admin password once, to install the helper tool and set the persmissions.
