Freedom vs Fictate

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.

You may have tried dictation before. Most fiction authors have, and most have given up on it. The transcript came back a mess. It mangled your character names. It had no idea what to do with dialogue. You spent longer cleaning up than you would have spent typing. Enter: FICTATE IT UNDERSTANDS HOW YOU WRITE AS A FICTION AUTHOR Rather than fidgeting with an app built for business people and meeting notes, you can just dictate your fictional world and see it come to life accurately. TEACH FICTATE™ YOUR WORDS Add your characters, your places, your invented spellings, one time by pasting in a chapter or your entire manuscript and let Fictate learn your unique words. Add a new word right inside your transcript and it populates in your dictionary. Your existing transcript automatically updates to match. THE CLEANUP TOOL Turns raw dictation into readable prose. Punctuation, paragraph breaks, verbal stumbles. It does NOT rewrite your sentences into what a machine thinks you meant. Your writing voice stays yours. It just tidies up any errors. ONE APP INSTEAD OF FIVE Recording, transcription, cleanup, word count, and a session timer in one place. Easily copy and paste your words into your current Work-in-Progress or…dictate directly into your writing software on mobile or computer. Advanced, but powerful. WRITE WHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Record with no signal at all. Everything syncs when you are back online. Authors have turned daily walks and watching the kids play in the backyard into written words. SEE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY PRODUCED A daily word count chart. Ten minutes add up faster than most authors expect, and watching that happen turns out to be its own motivation. GET YOUR WORDS INTO YOUR MANUSCRIPT One tap to email a transcript to yourself, or copy it straight into Scrivener, Word, or Google Docs on your phone or computer. Phone, browser, and computer, all on the same account. WHO FICTATE IS FOR Novelists, short story writers — anyone drafting fiction. Some authors dictate because it’s faster than typing. Some dictate because typing hurts, or is simply no longer possible. Fictate is designed to help you build a sustainable author career. YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS Your writing is never used to train AI models. We do not read your work. You hold every right to everything you dictate. SUBSCRIPTIONS Every plan starts with 7 days free, and every plan includes every feature — the Cleanup Tool, Story Outlines, deleted-recording recovery, custom dictionary, verbal commands, offline recording, and Fictate Anywhere.
