Freedom (application) explained

Freedom (application) should not be confused with Free software.

Freedom (often referred to as the Freedom app) is a computer program designed to keep a computer 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] [9] [10]}
