Below you will find a breakdown of all the options you can find in our iOS app. For more information on initial setup of the app, please see How to install Freedom for iPhone or iPad.

Today Tab

The Today tab contains information about your active, scheduled, and recent sessions. It displays any special notices, or important actions you might need to take to ensure block sessions are working on your device. It also shows a feed of the most recent blog posts from our website.

Start Session Tab

On the Start Session tab, you can start and schedule your block sessions. For more information, see Starting a block session.

Blocklists tab

On the Blocklists tab, you’ll see a list of all your blocklists. You can tap on the three dots to the right of any blocklists you already created to edit or delete them. You can also tap ‘Add New Blocklist’ to create a new list. For more information, see How to add or remove sites from your blocklist.

Sounds Tab

The Sounds tab contains a list of Focus Sounds you can play during your sessions divided into different categories. (Coffee Shops, Offices, etc.) These ambient sounds can help you focus and feel ensconced in your work.
