ETA: "oops something went wrong" now no edits can be made nor can I disable faulty blocklists It blocks entire domains rather than specific URLs, which is not helpful. Example: I want to block a specific Reddit sub to get myself to stop indulging in it. The app instead blocks all of Reddit when the filter is engaged, which is not helpful to me. It's also far too easy to turn off the filters. There's no effective cue to stop me from myself in bypassing what I tried to set up.

Hey Diana! Sorry to hear that! Enabling Locked Mode on the Settings tab will prevent you from removing filters during a session. If you need more help with anything please don't hesitate to reach out to our team by emailing support@freedom.to. Thanks!

This app is a game changer for me. I struggle with impulse buying (and money management) and needed a way to just block my access (Amazon, food delivery etc). This app is just what I needed! The most important features for me is locking in my session so I can't end it early to buy, and scheduling a recurring session that automatically starts and ends. Seriously, this app is going to help me and has helped me already!

It's cumbersome to get everything set up (took me over 2 hours between my phone and my computer) and also not intuitive for how to manage block lists. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’ØšŸ˜’šŸ˜  BUT once it's set up, it works really well! I REALLY like that I can sync it between my phone and my computer, which is not something that a lot of these types of apps do. The pricing is very reasonable and definitely worth it to me.
