Description

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.

Invaluable but recent change disappointing

I have come to rely on this app, it really helps me cut down on phone use in a practical way. It’s expensive but until recently I thought it was money worth spending. However, I will not renew my subscription when it comes round unless Freeform reinstall the option to start and stop your session by time of day rather than a countdown timer. I don’t like the programmed regular session option (usually means it comes on when I need something), and find working out how many minutes and hours I need it on for each session fiddly. Being able to switch it on in the morning whenever I was ready, and select midday as the end of the session was my preference, just much more convenient than working it out each time, which is always different depending on when I switch it on! Because the app is quite expensive, I’m afraid I won’t be paying for it next year unless this basic feature is reinstalled (you can do all other appointments, alarms etc on iPhone by time, don’t see why not here). Which is a shame, because otherwise the effect of this app is transformative for me.

Hey there and thank you so much for your feedback about this feature. The context you provided is very helpful. It has been shared with our team. Thanks again!

Exactly what I needed

Works well for me. You need to ensure you configure it properly. But once it’s set up properly it really helps me work and focus. I even use it for reading.

It’s a bit hit and miss sometimes in that it still keeps working on devices after the session has finished but easily fixed by just opening the app. Highly recommended.

With regards to IOS it works well enough for me. It can’t block apps, but it does block them connecting eg twitter and Facebook doesn’t load anything when it’s running. If you need it to block games etc it can’t do that.

Very effective

I’m really liking this app so far: I have ADHD and very easily fall down social media rabbit-holes when I pick up my phone to do necessary things. Some apps prevent me from using my phone at all for a set period of time, but this is really useful by allowing you to set up a custom blocklist of what is and isn’t allowed: I know that for the next few hours I want to be able to access emails, texts and phonecalls, but ban distractions, and Freedom allows that! Being able to sync blocking periods between devices is also really handy.

The only features that I really feel it’s lacking are widgets and the ability to set up Apple shortcuts. I usually use the exact same blocklist and settings, so it would be nice to be able to reuse the most settings easily without going into the app itself.

Developer Response ,

Hey there & thanks for taking the time to leave your wonderful review! We’re happy to help you block distracting websites, stay focused & be more productive. Also some good news - we just released version 5.10 which contains the Freedom Widget, and we will be introducing more functionality for that soon. You can update to version 5.10 via the App Store now. Thanks again!
