Freedom

Blocking distractions on your iPhone won’t help much if you immediately open the same websites on your Mac. Fortunately, cross-platform tools like Freedom help you stay focused across all your Apple devices.

You can create blocklists for the apps and websites that tend to distract you. A session can then apply those restrictions across all your supported devices where you’re signed in. 

The app also lets you create specific schedules, which makes blocking specific apps or websites completely hands-free. You could block social media during work hours, then restrict news sites during the evening. And since it all happens automatically, you won’t have to worry about forgetting (or pretending to forget) about blocking your most addictive apps.

Additionally, it comes with other useful features. For example, there’s Locked Mode, which makes it even harder to cheat and open an app or website to distract yourself. The app also comes with a timer and Focus Music to help you get in the zone.

You’ve probably been guilty of blocking an app like TikTok on your phone, but visiting it when you’re on your computer completely defeats the purpose. But with Freedom, you can fight the urge to doomscroll before it even happens.
