To block apps and websites on your Android device you'll need to create (or edit) a blocklist, and start a Freedom session. Follow the instructions below to get started!

To set up a session on Android, you will first need to create a blocklist that includes the apps and websites you would like to block. To do this, select the Blocklists tab, and tap the button that says Create a Blocklist. You can also choose to edit an existing blocklist by selecting the blocklist name.

On the Create Blocklist screen, type a name for your blocklist.

Tap Add or Remove Android Apps to select which apps you would like to block with this blocklist.

Toggle on apps to block.

After you have selected apps, press the back button to return to the Create Blocklist screen. Under Blocked Websites, tap Add or Remove Websites. Tap Add Custom Website to type any domains/websites you would like to block.

You can also use Freedom’s Curated Filters to customize your blocklist. These filters contain all popular apps and websites under a certain category. To see a complete list of apps and websites included in the category, tap the category to expand it.

Once you've finished adding apps, domains, and filters, tap Create Blocklist at the bottom of the screen, or Save Changes if you're editing an existing list.

Once you have created your blocklist, you can start a Freedom session! Click on the Sessions tab to create a session.

To run a session right away, select the blocklists, devices and duration for your session and select the Start The Session button. The apps and websites on your blocklist will be blocked right away.

You can also schedule Freedom to automatically run sessions on a schedule. For more information on Start Later and Recurring sessions, see Start Later and Recurring Sessions.
