Version 2.2.1

This is a great app. When I really need to focus, but keep getting distracted, I'll put it on for 20 minutes or half an hour of focus time. The great thing is that it syncs to all my devices, so it'll turn the internet off (except for those sites I've whitelisted) on both my Mac and my iPhone. It can also block desktop apps. It's not a failsafe, but it often helps me get started when I'm struggling with distraction.

Has Freedom become recently web based?
If so, I will start looking elsewhere.

Good to see you can type something other than: "Finally, we are seeing and update! Version 1.2 now."

I've tried the new Freedom app. It sounds good in theory but nowhere near as good as their original app (which is the one listed here). I'm now trying to install the new app to go back to the old app.

I am sticking with the old version I purchased and updated to 1.3.2.
I personally don't like subscription-based apps (this one asking $1.88/month). I feel they are trying hard to get more money from you than deserved.

I used this with pretty good success for about a year. It was cheap/free at the time (I don't recall.) Now it's $10, that seems too steep.

Sorry, but why on earth would you pay for this? This is mind-boggling! Please consider sending a $4.99 donation to some charitable organization instead. Again, I apologize if anyone is offended by my remarks. Xen

@Xenophon Addiction comes in many forms. I threw away my TV set to stop wasting time watching all the incredible series available on different channels. But I cannot get rid of my computer, I need it for work.

$4.99 wuld be a fairer price, imho. Also, recent update failed to make it retina display friendly. Other than that, the app does its simple task well.

I own Freedom and love the concept behind it. However, I also want the opposite of this - where, for example, I can set myself a twenty minute window to surf the internet and at the end of the twenty minutes my internet gets cut off. Anyone know if this is possible?

Never heard about such an application. Eventually, if you have an Airport Extreme, you can enable Access Control on the device and set wireless time limits.

I really like the concept behind this app. The one thing it needs to add to get 5 stars from me is the ability to just run it as a system preference or menubar app.
