Website & App Blocker: Freedom

Hi, please add offline time blocking and the possibility to have ending and starting sound when beginning a session on the phone, then it would be perfect!! Being dependant of the internet to just block the time is not right.

I wish this app worked better. I like the concept of blocking distracting apps during days when I would like to focus. But the performance of this app on a day-to-day basis is inconsistent. It frequently turns off by itself. It also doesn’t run when the phone is on low battery mode. I think, “oh I’ll just take a quick look at the news etc”…. Then I find myself wasting time again. So why did I pay to have the premium version of this app? I wonder if I wasted my money.

Most of the time the app does its job well, but let’s say once a day/ every other day it bugs the websites that should be blocked remain available and vice versa.

Really helps me cut down on my phone use, fully customizable blocklists allow me to focus and spend time as I choose. Thanks!

Love it

la feature uninstall protection ne marche pas indépendamment de ça il est facilement possible de passer outre les blocages l’appli ne sert pas à grand chose

Que ce soit des applis, des sites internets sur le téléphone ou sur l’ordinateur, Freedom peut tout bloquer. Très facile à configurer des sessions de travail dédiées. Merci Freedom

Déjà, c’est une application 100% en anglais. Et puis, pas très utile avec les fonctionnalités déjà disponibles de l’iPhone (concentration, temps d’écran…)

For IOS: while background data is enabled: is it inefficient to expect the user to always ensure the app is open: especially if they are attempting to rework difficult or addictive behavioral patterns. Is it possible to add a function to open the app every 15 to 30 minutes to avoid this issue? Add customized Lock Screen: The Lock Screen always stating « you’re free » can be frustrating especially as it is the first thing you see after your dopamine fix is cut off. Meanwhile, the green is quite overstimulating. I would suggest being able to choose the text printed on the Lock Screen (quotations, reminders, etc etc), along with a color. It might also be cool to choose a background photo, if that isn’t too annoying to add a gallery. I could especially foresee users wanting to add photos of nature, travel, and their real world experiences to contrast with the website they were just cut off from, and remind them of what else they could be doing. Add location based limits: There are some apps or websites I would only like to limit at home, or at the office. This way users can even set radiuses around their homes, for example, to encourage going outside. Later: if this becomes useful: you might even be able to integrate special functions like: take a walk for 15 minutes before you can use this app again. Speaking of which: adding breaks. TikTok in China already has this integrated for children. It’s been shown to reduce scrolling paralysis and naturally reduce the length of app use by users. It is also easier to implement for users than hardcore limits: and can be a useful building block towards building a healthier habit. Speaking of which: programmable incrementalized goals. Say I wanted to reduce my use of YouTube from average 5 hours a day to 1 or 2. Cold turkey might work for some; but incremental progress would most likely work better. Having the daily limit change overtime I til the goal is reached would most likely help with retention of clients, and success. Add weekly limits: While daily limits and scheduled hours are great: I often find that I would rather have a set number of weekly hours. This would allow for a variable schedule and to treat app time like an event itself, while limiting myself to not go overboard then next days. Add calendar session planner, instead of just weekly loop function: I would like to be able to plan for vacations (when my hours are messed up via time zones or I don’t know if I’ll need an app). Also, sometim

I’ve bought it for 40 dollars, and it doesn’t block my Instagram, even on premium account, after I used all suggestions for troubleshooting. It’s still doesn’t block my social! Hustle
