When it comes to scheduling a session in advance, Freedom gives you two options:

1. Start Later: Schedule a single session in advance for the same day
2. Recurring Session: Create a schedule for a recurring session — one that repeats on certain days.

Both of these will automatically kick in at the selected times, as long as the Freedom app is active on your device.

This article provides instructions for creating both Start Later and Recurring Sessions from your dashboard.


How Scheduled Sessions Work

  • Recurring and Start Later sessions activate automatically based on the schedule you set.

  • Once saved, no manual action is required for the session to start.

Tip: the ability to schedule sessions is a Premium feature. To view pricing and upgrade to a Premium plan, see our Upgrade page.
