Freedom
What is Freedom?
Freedom is a distraction-blocking app that lets you schedule focused sessions by blocking access to specific websites and apps—on all your devices at once. Whether you’re working on a laptop, tablet, or phone, Freedom helps you create a distraction-free environment when you need to focus most.
How does Freedom work?
You choose what to block (social media, news, email, etc.) and when. Sessions can be scheduled in advance or started on the fly, and the “Locked Mode” makes it extra hard to quit early. It works across macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Chrome, syncing your blocklist and schedule everywhere. Freedom also offers pre-made blocklists and ambient soundscapes to support your workflow.
Why is Freedom helpful for attention?
Freedom protects your attention from digital temptations before they can hijack it. Instead of relying on willpower in the moment, it lets you pre-commit to focused time. This environmental design helps reduce context switching and attention residue—two major focus killers.
Who is Freedom best for?
Ideal for remote workers, students, writers, creatives, and anyone struggling with screen distractions. Especially effective for people trying to reduce social media use or build deep work habits.
