Freedom (application)

Last updated

Freedom (often referred to as the Freedom app) is a computer program designed to keep a computer or smartphone user away from the Internet for up to eight hours at a time. It is described as a way to "free you from distractions, allowing you time to write, analyze, code, or create." [1] [2] The program was written by Fred Stutzman, a Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
