FreedomReviews of freedom.to

I don't understand the bad reviews really, works pretty well for me. It does the job. Some of the UI I'm not a big fan of, but 90% it does a fine job of everything.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel I owe this one.Freedom App has genuinely changed — and quite possibly saved — my life.I’ve struggled with drug addiction for over seven years. Relapse was almost always enabled by one thing: access. Access to mobile banking, messaging apps, phone calls, and the internet tools that made getting drugs far easier than avoiding them. On top of that, I have ADHD, which meant cravings were loud, constant, and impulsive. When addiction is screaming at you and the tools are sitting in your pocket, willpower alone just isn’t enough.Once I relapsed, it didn’t stop there. I’d also end up gambling online, draining money and feeding a vicious cycle of addiction, regret, and shame. I tried rehab, addiction therapy, and many other approaches — and while they helped, what I was missing was instant protection in the exact moment cravings hit.That’s where Freedom came in.Within about 15 seconds, I can start a session that blocks my ability to message dealers, make calls, access WhatsApp or SMS, open banking apps, or download gambling or messaging apps from the Play Store. I can even block specific websites like banks or shopping sites, so even if money is in my account, I physically can’t act on impulse. I keep the internet unlocked for healthy use, but the dangerous pathways are removed.One important thing to be honest about: there is an adjustment period. For me, it took about a week or two for my routine to fully settle. For example, even though app access was blocked, I still physically had my bank card — so if money was sitting in my main account, I could still withdraw it. That was half the problem for me. I learned to keep most of my money in my savings account and only leave enough in my current account for essentials — not enough for drugs or gambling. Once I made those small lifestyle adjustments alongside Freedom, everything clicked into place.What makes this app incredible is how seamless it is beyond that. If I have another device available, I just add it to the same session and I’m protected there too — no setup, no loopholes, no downloading extra apps to block them first. It just works.Freedom doesn’t judge. It doesn’t lecture. It steps in exactly when cravings are strongest and gives you breathing room when your brain can’t.For anyone battling addiction, ADHD, compulsive gambling, or destructive impulses — especially when access is the biggest trigger — this app isn’t just helpful. It’s life-changing.Thank you for building something that actually understands how addiction works in the real world.

Have been using for years. I find freedom extremely beneficial to break unhealthy habits. Very effective and have thought of most ways to help overcome moments of weakness. Thank you! Ps. I paid a once off amount for the lifetime of freedom option, i had used it for several years when i made the purchase since it didnt force me into a subacription.

That is a very good app. Its simple to use and it just does what it says.

Dear Freedom Team, 1 am writing to express my appreciation for your excellent application. I recently purchased Freedom lifetime after trying multiple fully premium products (like Cold Turkey Blocker). Your application is worth the money. I especially like Freedom's iOS integration and the screen time application blocking features. However, I have one suggestion for improvement. I wish you could add the focus filters feature in iOS so that the syncing between Apple devices would be much smoother, especially using the focus filters as a trigger for Freedom blocks using the Shortcuts app. I understand that there are some limitations of the syncing states between iOS devices (It's not Freedom's fault). Furthermore, I have also created some shortcuts that help the syncing process between my Apple/Devices. I love to share them with you if you are interested. Thank you for creating such a productive and user-friendly application. Please keep up the good work! Sincerely,

Saves me so much time.

I’m just trialing the app and had an issue and was impressed by how promptly an issue I had was solved - to do with my own error. Personable and timely customer service is really important to me so this is a big gold star.

best blocking app I've found yet, worth paying for premium only downside is there is no native program for linux, but it still does work on linux firefox and chrome as an extension
