The price listed above ($129US) is actually the price of the 'Forever' plan, not the annual subscription. Their forever plan is currently (23rd Sept, 2021) half price at $64.50 (see https://freedom.to/upgrade). From a user who used to pay the annual subscription, but just bought the Forever plan,.

A software blocking webseites and applications is called "Freedom"? This will leave me confused for the rest of the day.

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.
