A CLEANER INTERNET, AND YOUR ATTENTION BACK. Freedom blocks the apps that pull you in, the sites you don't want on your phone, and the ads, trackers and threats hiding inside every app. Set it up in a few steps, then run all of it from one control on your home screen. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Pick the apps and categories that eat your day. Freedom uses Apple's Screen Time to hold them closed: open one and you see a shield screen instead. Your choices stay on your phone. FOCUS SESSIONS One swipe starts a focus session, and everything you picked goes dark for a set time: deep work, a study sprint, or the whole night. Locked mode keeps a session running to the end. DAILY TIME LIMITS Give your picks one shared daily allowance. When it runs out, they stay closed until tomorrow. BLOCK SITES AND WHOLE CATEGORIES Block inappropriate content, gambling, social media, games, dating, streaming and more in every app and browser on your phone, or add sites of your own. Schedules add extra restrictions at the times you choose, like working hours or bedtime. STOP ADS, TRACKERS AND THREATS Freedom filters DNS lookups to stop ads, trackers, malware and phishing domains before they load. Family mode also blocks inappropriate content and the proxies used to get around filters. PRIVATE DNS Your DNS lookups are encrypted, so the network you're on can't read which sites you look up. Only DNS lookups go through Freedom; the rest of your traffic goes straight to the internet as usual. PIN LOCK Set a PIN so that switching protection off or loosening your filters takes a deliberate step. App blocking, focus sessions and daily limits use Apple's Screen Time and need iOS 16 or later. FREEDOM PRO All features need a Freedom Pro subscription, weekly or yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase where available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in your Account Settings after purchase. If a free trial is offered, any unused part of it is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
