I have been using freedom for a week now on both pc and phone. I really like that I can block both my phone and pc at the same time, and that freedom allows me to block both websites and apps instead of just websites, and works for multiple browsers at the same time. However, you must ensure that you open the app on your phone even if you start the session from the pc, which I normally do. Otherwise freedom isn't active on your phone or vice versa. Freedom does send you an email when a device is not active after starting a session. I haven't yet needed the more strict options, preventing an app or website from opening is enough for me to go back to the task at hand. I would like a calendar view for future scheduling of freedom sessions, so you can just drag and drop your next session instead of stating a start and end time numerically, and to have a visual overview. It would be even more awesome if you can sync this calendar view with e.g. google calendar (don't know if this is even feasible). Also, not the most important thing, but slightly annoying: the Dutch translation of the app can be improved. For example, I assume the notification for the time remaining in a session is translated from "x hour x minutes left in current session". Left is translated to Dutch as "links", which in Dutch means left as in the left side of something (right vs left), it doesn't have the other meaning the English left has. The correct translation would be something like "x uur x minuten over in huidige sessie".

A lifesaver for productivity. I used to check social media every 5 minutes during work, typically without even noticing myself. A few weeks of blocking apps during the day not only makes me much more productive, but also improved my habits for the times I am not blocking anything. Ironically the Freedom of not having the option to get distracted is such a relief!

Helps me concentrate, finally! Works great across multiple devices. You can put both apps and websites on your custom blocklist. Ones a session is started there is no way to cancel it other than uninstalling. Which is good if you're like me. It's scary to be confronted with how many times you open distracting apps. There is some other features, such as focus sounds and blog posts, but those add les value imo. I would like to some stats, like an estimate of how much time freedom has saved me.
