Does exactly what it says. However, the music function stutters frequently on my phone. Considering the amount charged for the premium version, it is a bit disappointing to be finding glitches like this on something that is supposed to be soothing. Makes playing music on my phone from the app pointless. Overall great experience with the app though. Works best when you get frequently distracted by other devices. I block my phone completely and allow minimal function on my pc to get work done.

It's cumbersome to get everything set up (took me over 2 hours between my phone and my computer) and also not intuitive for how to manage block lists. 😮‍💨😒😠 BUT once it's set up, it works really well! I REALLY like that I can sync it between my phone and my computer, which is not something that a lot of these types of apps do. The pricing is very reasonable and definitely worth it to me.

The Accessibility permissions keep deactivating. I've already removed battery optimization and allowed for admin access. It works after turning it off and back on again but it's pretty bad practice too have to remember when a block is supposed to happen and manually turning it on. EDIT: Since this seems to be a problem with OnePlus and not Freedom, I've updated the review. I wish we could schedule spontaneous breaks into sessions instead of having to manually end and restart them.
