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.

Ratings and Reviews
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!
Really helpful
I still want to give this 5 stars as the limitations are with apple rather than this app. It is immensely helpful for me, I have scheduled everything blocked in the morning so I’m not tempted to stay in bed scrolling, and at night so I can put my phone down and go to sleep. I need to force myself to open the app every so often, or switch off low power mode to make the sessions activate, but that takes 3 seconds of will power, and fortunately I’m usually capable of that!
The only downsides are those of the phone, the vpn is a good workaround but it does slow everything down, and sometimes I find it isn’t active and give myself “just 5 minutes…” but really it’s improved my life greatly, I’m mother to an adopted child with severe and complex needs and this helps me sleep enough to be the kind of parent he deserves. Thank you.

I never write reviews but this was a waste of money
I payed for the yearly subscription for freedom, and at first it was working great. However, that didn’t last too long. I’ve been consistently experiencing the freedom app messing with my network across my different devices, even when the disable internet connection setting isn’t turned on in a session. The only way I’ve ever been able to fix this is by deleting freedoms vpn, so I assume it’s messing with my network in a way that is unintended. This is supposed to be an app for productivity, but it’s only made things worse for me, when I can’t access the internet on my iPhone’s or my MacBook because of Freedom. I’ve ended and remade sessions, uninstalled and reinstalled the vpn, and done everything I can to make it work, as I didn’t want to believe I wasted money on such a costly yearly subscription. But I’ve accepted that the app is the problem, and will be uninstalling. I’d recommend you go elsewhere and look for a blocking app that won’t mess with your internet connectivity, as I’ve seen others in these reviews complain about the same issues.
