Freedom review

Freedom is the strongest blocker here for people who switch between a laptop and a phone. One session applies to every device at once, and the free plan already includes blocking of apps, websites or the entire internet, sync across Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and Chromebook, unlimited devices, custom blocklists and focus music. Desktop app blocking is included, while website exceptions work on Mac and Windows only. The paid plan is where Freedom becomes automatic: Premium adds scheduled and recurring sessions, advance sessions for later in the day, Locked Mode that prevents quitting, and unlimited sessions of 2 hours or more. Freedom also says it does not track your browsing or app usage. Premium costs $3.33 a month on the yearly plan or $8.99 month to month, and a Forever Premium license is listed at $99.50 one time. Students who only need occasional manual blocks can stay on the free plan.
