Block distracting apps and websites so you can focus, be more productive, and build better screen time habits. We've built the world's best app and website blocker, trusted by over 3 million individuals and teams to deliver focused attention for the things that matter most.
During a Freedom session, when you attempt to open an app or website on your blocklist, Freedom blocks the app from opening and displays a peaceful green screen - reminding you that you're currently free of that distraction. Freedom users report gaining an average of 2.5 hours of productive time every day. They're more fulfilled, happier with work and family life, and have a healthier relationship with their technology.
Schedule a Freedom app blocking session to start automatically when you need it – for complete, seamless control over distractions. Because Freedom works across all your devices, you'll feel confident knowing you're in complete control. We call it mindful productivity.
There's no limit to the number of devices (including phones, tablets, and computers) you can connect to Freedom, so you can block apps and websites regardless of where you are or what you're doing. You'll stay focused, productive, and distraction-free.

If you really want to seriously crack down on browsing, this ap is worth the money. At least for the average user this is ironclad and really can't be messed around with. If you commit to a 24hr renewing schedule, add uninstall protection, and disable ending a session early, then you are locked in and a device will neber again let you touch anything you've banned, so proceed with caution.That said, there seems to be a bug that undermines this. Protection will sometimes randomly cease to work. Rebooting my phone can fix it, as can initiating a new session, but when the whole point of using this specific software is to permanantely ban certain time wasters, this can be a problem. For me personally the biggest issue is simply forgetting that I'm quitting and autopiloting back to my distraction, so if they could find some way to fix this issue then that would be perfect. Til then I'm just docking one star - it's a pretty big hole in the defenses here, but also if this were fixed then Freedom would be absolutely perfect, so I'm not gonna ding em too hard for this.

i’m a 17 year old high school student diagnosed with ADHD, autism, depression, you name it— and this app has really helped me with my schoolwork. i’m a high achieving student, in 6 AP classes. i have always had a lot of trouble being productive. i get distracted on social media apps constantly and lose track of time, leaving me with almost no time for my schoolwork. teenagers will understand feeling like the adults in our lives just want to shame us and blame it on our phones. i’ve been trying different things for years to keep my attention span under control, but i often lack the self-discipline or motivation to be consistent. this app has been highly useful for me. it’s very user-friendly, allowing me to easily set blocklists and sessions. it’s not as easy to get distracted and end them though, unless i need to do so. this is mainly because i don’t getting notifications for my blocked apps during sessions, which is great because notifications are my main problem. but i also noticed in the app there’s a feature to request and vote on features, which made me feel genuinely happy to see. it’s clear this company cares about satisfying their customers, and this also makes me confident that if a feature isn’t currently in the app, there’s a good chance this company will listen to my feedback. i have the free version of this app—as a broke high school student :)—and i’m happy that i’m able to access all of the essential features under the free version. i’m eternally grateful for this app because it taught me how productive i can actually be, and i recommend it to others with ADHD, or anyone that has productivity problems in general.

Collects your data. Also hard to use

Had trouble getting app to work, and emailed with tech support. Was surprised to discover that tech support person, who had no info about me except my email address, was able to tell me what settings I had used in the app, *even though when I emailed tech support I had uninstalled Freedom.* Want a company to have a permanent record of the sites you have trouble staying away from? Then Freedom’s the app for you. Also, I apparently made big errors setting up the app. After I got it running, set I thought to block Twitter and nothing else, it blocked the entire internet. I could not even send emails. While I don’t work in tech I’m pretty competent with my electronics, and have never made the kind of a boneheaded errors in setting up an app that I apparently did with Freedom. According to tech support, though, I really screwed it up. If all the problems were really from my errors, seems to me the info for new users is not clear enough. Also, after installing and setting up, and deleting Freedom TWICE after it paralyzed my iPhone, I asked to have my money refunded — this was after I had had app for about 2 days. Tech support said there was no possible way for them to get me a refund (and of course there are multiple possible ways), and told me I had to go to Apple and ask for a refund on my Apple account. Apple account does not show the $40 payment I made. Payment was withdrawn from my bank acct though. So I’m also out $40.

Hi there and thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app didn't work out for you! At Freedom, unlike many other anti-distraction apps, we don't collect or sell your data. Freedom synchronizes your blocklists all your devices, which is what you are referring to. This is a feature of our product and not for data collection. Anyway, we are still very sorry you didn't have a great experience, but we wanted to add some explanation to your claims.
This app is incredible - some thoughts to make it even better
reasonable/review
I’ve used this app for a little over a year now and it has absolutely changed my life. Tech addiction is one of the biggest problems today and I tell all of my friends to get this app. I’m currently attending law school and this has really helped me stay productive. One suggestion for improvement that would really take this to next level: tie the app-blocker timer to how much time you ACTUALLY spend doing something productive. With the current features, you can often just wait off the clock by distracting yourself in other ways until the app-blocking has turned off. But, what if the timer only counted down when you have your device on? For example, if I blocked all distracting websites on my laptop, and the timer only counts while I keep my laptop on, I have to spend that time doing non-distracting stuff on my laptop like, say, writing the essay I have due this Monday. This way, the Freedom App could have a reward feature to it (e.g. when I spend 3 hours doing something productive, I am rewarded with access to social media). I would really love to see this in the app if it doesn’t already exist. If this is already a feature, let me know how to turn it on!
