You can add both curated filters and individual websites to your Freedom blocklists. This article explains how to add custom websites to your blocklists from your dashboard and the mobile app.


Mac and Windows

1. Go to Freedom.to and log in.

2. Under My Blocklists, either click on one of your blocklists to edit it, or create a new blocklist by selecting Add Blocklist.

3. Enter a website URL in the empty field above the filters and click Add Site. To add a list of up to 50 domains at a time, click Add Multiple Sites.

4. Repeat step 3 with all other websites you’d like to block. For help adding mobile and desktop apps to a blocklist, click here.


5. If you created a new blocklist, name the blocklist and select Create Blocklist.

6. You are now ready to create a block session! For help with this, please see Starting a block session.

Tip: Currently, only domains (example.com) and subdomains (subdomain.example.com) can be added to blocklists. Specific sections of a website (e.g. subreddits) cannot be added.
