Once that’s taken care of, it’s time to start customizing important features like sessions (time blocks where blocked websites are inaccessible), block lists (list of sites or apps that should be blocked), diversions (sites to be kept open) and auto-replies (scheduled emails). Session details such as start and end times can also be adjusted according to personal preferences so you don't forget about them while they’re running in the background. To ensure that there aren't any compatibility issues or unexpected behavior, Freedom takes into account all devices connected to your account during setup so modifications can be implemented across multiple devices at once if needed.
Once everything is set up and running, users have full access within their designated session environments — guaranteed productivity! With Freedom by their side nobody will miss out on important meetings or waste precious minutes scrolling through Facebook when there isn't a need for it!
Create a Freedom.to account
Creating a Freedom.to account is the first step in setting up the freedom.to application across your devices to help you focus your attention on the tasks that matter, free from distractions like social media, navigation, and entertainment applications.
The self-regulatory platform software is available for both MacOS and Windows operating systems with Android and iOS mobile applications also available for download in their respective app stores. After you have downloaded the software and created an account, you can start setting up barriers around personal distractions so that you can more effectively focus when needed.

4) Schedule when those rules apply so that access permissions are tailored for day-to-day life (e.g., Saturday mornings only).
With Freedom now activated on all devices, it's time to start enjoying more productive and distraction-free days!

Everyone’s productivity needs are different. That’s why Freedom.to allows you to customize your blocklists, adding as many websites and apps as you need. Whether you want to prevent yourself from checking sports scores or using Netflix, our easy to use website blocker will help restore focus and productivity.
Adding websites and apps to your blocklist:
• Open up the Freedom.to dashboard on your computer or mobile device, or download the app for Mac, Windows, iOS, Chrome or Android
• Log in with your account credentials
• Select "Manage Blocklist" from the left-hand menu bar
• Click “Add Websites & Apps”
• Enter a website address in the "Website/ App" field
• Select a type of website (distracting, social media) and the duration of the block (indefinitely, 1 day etc.)
• Click “Add” to start blocking
• To add additional websites click on “Add More Sites”
With Freedom.to you can also set up custom parameters whenever you want - so if there are certain times that are particularly tempting for certain activities (e.g. watching videos during work hours) you can set blocks accordingly so that you can focus on getting genuine work done without being tempted by online distractions!
Customize Your Blocklist
Freedom.to is a great way to block out distractions like websites and apps on all of your devices. It's easy to customize your blocklist to make sure you get the most out of your productive time. You can set up a blocklist to block out certain apps or websites for a certain amount of time or even permanently if you choose. Let's dive into the details of customizing your blocklist with Freedom.to.
Set up a schedule for your blocklist
To maximize your productivity, you can use the Freedom scheduling tool to create a personalized block list schedule. It allows you to choose when and for how long, you want to block websites and apps that are distracting you from getting work done. Scheduled blocking sessions automatically turn off after a predetermined length of time so that you can get back to focusing on what matters most.
You can use the scheduled blocking tool to automatically turn on your blocklist throughout the day. For example, if you would like to eliminate distractions while working, set up a daily schedule that blocks distracting sites every day during working hours. A schedule also makes it easier for maintaining focus if you’re working with deadlines or have other busy periods in your life.
Setting up a schedule is simple using the Freedom dashboard — just follow these steps:
1. Log into your Freedom Dashboard.
2. Choose “Schedule” from the left-hand side menu of options
3. Select “Add Blocklists To Schedule”
4. Scroll down to choose when and for how long these custom lists should be blocked and click “Save Changes” once completed
5. You can also adjust which devices are covered by this particular scheduled session under “Advanced Options”
6. Turn on your scheduler by hitting ‘Activate Scheduler’ at the top right corner of your screen and enjoy uninterrupted focus!
Create custom blocklists for different devices
Creating custom blocklists for different devices is a great way to ensure that you are blocking distractions and staying productive. With Freedom, you can choose which of your devices will receive which blocklists based on the types of activities each device is used for. This allows you to be more focused when working on one specific project or task, while still allowing leisure activities during your free time.
When creating a blocklist, Freedom provides a few preset options such as Social Media, News & Media, Music and Video & Streaming. You can also create your own Custom Blocklist by selecting individual websites or apps. For example, you may find yourself spending too much time browsing Reddit and shopping on Amazon, so you can add these sites to your Custom Blocklist to prevent yourself from accessing them when trying to focus on work tasks.
Additionally, Freedom lets you customize when the rules will apply - such as work days (Monday through Friday), all-day weekends (Saturday and Sunday) or even certain specific hours and days of the week (e.g., between 9am-5pm Monday-Friday). This allows you to have complete control over what type of distractions are allowed during different daily routines.
Creating custom blocklists with Freedom is an easy way to achieve better work/life balance while still maintaining focus and productivity during those times that require it most.
Set up a recurring blocklist
With significantly reduced distractions, you can increase your focus and energy levels to new heights. One way to do this is to set up a recurring blocklist with Freedom.to, as it provides tools to let you maintain control over your blocklists over time.
A recurring blocklist allows you to customize the types of websites, services and apps that you wish to block on a regular basis, giving you more control of your experience and the ability to stay on top of changes in the digital landscape. Some of the most common types of blocks are for:
* Social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
* News outlets like CNN or Fox News
* Streaming video sites such as Netflix or Hulu
* Shopping sites such as Amazon or eBay
* Online gaming websites
* Time-wasting mobile apps like Candy Crush or Solitaire
You have complete discretion when it comes to adding items from your custom list — from rigorous schedules (e.g., only blocking certain websites at specific times) to more open-ended approaches (e.g., blocking shopping sites after 4pm). It’s up to you how often and when your schedule recurs. With this service, it’s easy to create a schedule that works for you so that staying on track becomes second nature while distraction takes a backseat.
Monitor Your Progress

With Freedom.to, you can easily track how much time you spend on distracting websites and apps. This can help you identify areas where you need to adjust your Freedom plan and stay on task with more focused activities. Let's take a closer look at how to monitor your progress with Freedom.to.

Rewards are what motivates you to complete your goals — by setting small rewards like taking a break or enjoying your favorite snack after achieving your goal, you can break up monotonous tasks and keep yourself motivated. You can also set larger rewards like taking a vacation after completing long-term goals or major projects.
