Great blocker

Does exactly what I need it to do

Fight for your brain

The internet is making us all stupid. You don’t have the attention span you used to. This app will help you fight back. I use it to keep me from getting on my phone first thing in the morning, and to have 45-min sessions where I’m amazed at how much I can focus and how much I can get done. It’s easy to use and customizable.

Rage against the dying of the light!

So much better than willpower

There are some apps that once I get on, I simply cannot get off. Willpower alone is not enough, and I cannot change this! The Freedom app gives me back the upper hand. It’s a lifesaver.
