## Key features

- **Website, app and internet blocking:** A session can block chosen websites, chosen apps or all internet access. App blocking covers Mac, Windows, iOS and Android but not Chromebook.
- **Preset and custom blocklists:** Start from a preset list of distracting sites and apps or build your own. On Mac and Windows a list can also work in reverse, allowing only the sites you name.
- **Sessions across devices:** One session can include several devices at once, such as a laptop and a phone. Every plan, including Free, allows unlimited devices.
- **Scheduled and recurring sessions:** Premium lets sessions start automatically at a set time and repeat on a schedule. Free accounts can only start a session immediately.
- **Locked Mode:** A Premium setting that prevents a session from being ended before its timer runs out.
- **Focus sounds:** Background audio for a session, with a choice of music and ambient recordings such as cafes, libraries and nature.

## Good for

- People who want one blocking session to cover a computer and a phone together
- Cutting off the whole internet, not only selected sites, for a set period
- Buyers who would rather pay once for lifetime access than subscribe

## Worth knowing

- Free accounts are limited to Start Now sessions of up to 2 hours; scheduling, recurring sessions and Locked Mode need Premium.
- Linux and Chromebook are supported through the browser extension only, and app blocking is not available on Chromebook.
- Website exceptions, which allow only the sites you list, work on Mac and Windows only.
