Helps me go to sleep on time

I start my session at 10 pm so I’m forced to stop scrolling and either go to bed or do something else. It’s not magic, but it’s enough of a roadblock that it works for me. I also use it when I wake up so I don’t lie in bed and scroll.

Life changing for real

I was unsure of this after a friend recommended it to me. Will this really even stop me? But after the 30 day free trial I bought the full version! I block my social media most of the day as well as my dating apps which helped me to be more intentional about dating and spend less screen time in general. Just having the gentle reminder when you try to open the app makes all the difference in the conscious effort to break the bad habit.

Thank you so MUCH

thank you so MUCH. I have an issue with ai stuff, so I would end up googling it thinking I can get away with it. so I blocked those sites, and it works perfectly!

Life feels like the 2000s again

Before social media, life felt more real. Having restrictions set on my social media apps has let my brain rest and I also feel I’m more in touch with reality. I’m also more present and now have time to enjoy my other hobbies like art, video games, and movies — all without any distractions. It’s amazing. This app really live up to its name. Highly recommend!

Freedom is a powerful app.

Freedom is a powerful app. Having a tool that allows you to commit to blocking distracting sites & apps that you know can derail your intentions & focus is life changing. Freedom helps me to get to more sleep by shutting off internet access @ 9.45pm. Try it & experience the positive effects.

Great app!

I like the fact that this type of app/website blocker is built around “sessions” ranging from 1 minute, to 24 hours. This allows the user to make adjustments without having to worry about being locked out of the settings forever. No password is needed because the app shuts down all the apps/websites you set, and doesn’t allow you to stop a session once the first minute passes. But if an adjustment is needed, simply wait out the entirety of the session and then edit the settings.

Freedom is different

I absolutely adore this app. I've used similar apps before without success, but Freedom is different in how it lets you block multiple devices at once. It gives me a sense of peace knowing that my phone, laptop and desktop computer are simultaneously distraction-free.

Excellent productivity app

I regularly use Freedom to limit my internet time wasting over the night time hours so I can’t stay up later than I should online doing nothing important and getting less sleep than ideal. I have ADHD so easily get distracted and drawn into stuff otherwise. Works great on both iPhone and Mac and I’m happy to have paid for the lifetime license years ago.

Flexible blocker

Flexible blocker for people who just need a little push sometimes rather than complete lockdown. I like that you can set recurring sessions

Switched from Opal

My Opal annual subscription was about to renew so I investigated competitors and switched to Freedom. It is more affordable and simpler, and for one reason or another it’s been easier to adhere to.
