Freedom
Website and app blocker that runs across computers and phones
What is Freedom?
Freedom blocks distracting websites, apps or the whole internet for a set period, and one session can cover several devices at once. Blocklists can be preset or built by hand. Paid plans add scheduled and recurring sessions, sessions longer than two hours, and a Locked Mode that stops a session from being ended early.
Freedom has a free plan. Paid plans start at $3.33 / month, billed yearly ($39.99). See every plan
