Freedom.to

If you are looking to master your focus and cut out all those remote-work distractions, the Freedom app essentially ‘frees’ you from the sites with the aim of stopping distractions, allowing you to focus on your work. A “session” can be represented by any number of hours or minutes that you decide you need, and you can choose the sites to block. No more blocking Instagram on your computer, only to immediately open it on your phone. If you start a session, your distractions are blocked everywhere. There are also optional focus sounds, which are basically ambient background noise from coffee shops or nature.
