I was hesitant to give so much access, but now I'm really glad I have this app! I don't enter into subscriptions without thorough research. I'm aware that these kinds of apps have to gain significant access to be able to help people avoid distractions. Everyone has different needs and ways that they get distracted, so this app may be helpful (or not). But give the free trial a go. I'm glad I did.

While this app is useful especially for Windows, it has a big issue on Android that took me trial and error to fix. A Blocklist can block the system UI unless it's turned off, which means that it can prevent you from turning off the device except from lock screen. Please fix this and provide a user prompt because I shouldn't have to figure that out. Also please allow me to add all apps instead of doing so one by one on Android it's a pain adding and subtracting apps individually for blocklists.

Hey Wade, thanks for the detailed feedback — this is really useful. The System UI blocking issue is a good catch and we'll flag it to the team. For the "add all apps" option, noted — we hear you. Please reach out at support@freedom.to so we can help further!

Good app for someone like me with ADHD. Not only can I struggle with distraction, but I also have a degree of "time-blindness." So having something block stuff in time to get ready for work, or go to bed, is great. It does sometimes struggle with syncing on time, but to some I think that's often with the operating systems. Support is often helpful with troubleshooting those issues.
