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.

Most fitness apps make you choose between watching a screen and paying attention to your body. FlexCue doesn't ask you to choose. Prop your iPhone on a mat or shelf, put in your AirPods or strap on your Apple Watch, and FlexCue tracks your form in real time, then tells you what's off through haptic feedback alone. No glancing at a screen mid-pose. No guessing whether your alignment is right. HOW IT WORKS FlexCue fuses two ways of sensing your body: your iPhone's camera (with LiDAR body tracking on supported devices) for spatially accurate joint positions, and motion data from your Apple Watch and AirPods for fast, always-on orientation, even when you step out of frame. When one source loses confidence, FlexCue leans on the other, so the coaching never cuts out. Every cue is a custom haptic pattern, not a generic buzz. How far you're off maps to how firm and frequent the vibration feels, and it fades to silence once you're back in alignment. A soft, rare pulse confirms when you've nailed it. No constant buzzing, no notification spam. WHAT YOU CAN TRAIN Yoga poses, held and checked against target alignment: Warrior II, Tree Pose, Downward Dog, Triangle Pose, and more. Bodyweight PT-style movements, tracked through each phase of the rep: squats (knee and lean drift), bird-dog (trunk rotation and hip drop), plank (hip sag and pike), and more. Session history is saved right on your device. No account required, nothing sent anywhere you didn't ask it to go. FlexCue is a wellness and coaching tool, not a substitute for medical or physical therapy advice. If you're working with a healthcare provider, use FlexCue alongside their guidance, not in place of it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FlexCue at 5.0 against Freedom's 4.4. FlexCue also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Freedom's advantage is ratings volume (5.9K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Freedom sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and FlexCue sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FlexCue holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Freedom has 5.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Freedom ships an update every 2 weeks, FlexCue every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
