User reviews

It works, but it’s a bit too easy to can el blocks.

You can cancel blocks during their inactive time of the day, which makes it too easy to revert to bad habits.

My favourite discipline tool

Nothing beats Freedom for maintaining my commitment to focus when the urge for distraction arises. It’s a great way to operationalise my intention to stay away from sites and apps that distract me

Great!

Want to focus? Get Freedom!

Solid! Cheaper than opal. I bought the lifetime and I am happy.

I wish some of the global blocking settings could be actually available on a per sessions basis, but overall, I’m really happy with it

My £1million ADHD coach

I LOVE THIS APP!! For people reading this, the app has been unfairly rated far lower than it deserves due to The Fruit having a go at trying to take over app blockers when they intro’d their ineffective “screentime”. But apart from what’s beyond their control, the devs have created a phenomenal product.

And again for people reading who will already know what this app does- I’ve been a “Lifer” for years and the customer service is also absolutely top notch. I’m in the UK and used to at least 8 hr gaps when using CS email, but I’ve always had a response within the hour if not right away. Proactive, polite, efficient and knowledgeable. Chef’s kiss.

The app itself? It has a softer side but my squirrel brain needs the harsh discipline of a taskmaster giving me exactly what I asked for with no safe word. And it provides.

Is it intuitive? Maybe not, but the learning curve is barely a bump and the hardest thing is YOU have to decide what you want and execute it, the app can’t do that for you.

There’s nothing in my life that comes close to the value for money I’ve had and continue to get from this app. I feel guilty having a lifetime subscription and still reaping the benefits it provides many years on.
