Saves me a lot of time by reminding me to not be distracted.

The idea is good, cross-platform block sessions. The app on phone is bearable, haven't used it much but it probably fulfills what it promised. But the experience on Windows really sucks. First, it's almost useless. It not only doesn't block you, it even doesn't work from the beginning if you don't do a bit of setting.

If you want to bypass the blocker, there are numerous effortless ways: use a proxy, switch to another browser, uninstall the addon from the browser, kill the process from task manager, or even just exit the program. It's just ridiculous. It doesn't even contribute anything and I will finally have to fallback to rely on my own willpower. Why do I need such a thing in this way?

Those problems of other functionalities and interface designs are not worth mentioning, comparing to these problems.

This app really need some improvements, if it's not completely unusable. The idea is great. But if you really want a helpful app, use cold turkey.

You get max 2 hours of a block if you don't pay for Premium. Why so stingey? And you can only get a 7 day free trial by picking a subscription model first (ie. to run after the trial, unless you cancel) which also annoys me (and puts me off even trying a trial)

It works well on Android. However on Windows is it mostly useless, as it is very easy to make a blocked app run.

Slightly too simplistic, and the sessions page is confusing/needs a redesign. Cold Turkey is more useful and powerful, although it lacks a mobile app.

It's one of the few distraction blockers that has both proxy and non-proxy blocking methods. However, it has some limitations/loopholes too. It is limited in the browsers it supports, among the popular browsers. For example, it effectively doesn't support opera browser because, strangely, unlike other blockers, it has no non-vpn (non-proxy) support for opera at least on mac os. The proxy method support for opera is effectively useless, since opera browser has free VPN built into it.

Paid for the lifetime subscription, has been awesome for my productivity and giving me a nudge to focus while on my PC and android phone!

What is Freedom?

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.
