Sanitas review: Freedom app
The Freedom app? promises to help you concentrate and work productively and creatively without being distracted by the internet or apps. Does it keep this promise?
Simple but effective, the app blocks selected websites and apps or the entire internet for up to eight hours. You can also create a weekly schedule to plan regular internet-free time. Over the course of several weeks, this schedule helped me change my internet habits.
Freedom is also available as a desktop program for Windows and Mac. Thanks to simple synchronisation between smartphone and computer, I wasn't distracted by any of my devices during testing.
Summary
The app definitely keeps its promise. While revising for my exams, the app really improved my concentration and focus – and my exam results spoke for themselves.
