Freedom supports blocking across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android, and Chromebook. That makes it a strong choice when distractions follow you across devices.
StrictBlock is an iPhone-focused tool for choosing distractions, starting a focus or Pomodoro session, and reviewing the routine you build over time.
Choose Freedom when you need one account, synced blocklists, and scheduled blocks across your phone and computer. Its iOS app uses Screen Time for app blocking and offers website-blocking options.
Choose StrictBlock when your main distraction is your iPhone and you want a simple, session-first blocker with focus profiles, Pomodoro, streaks, a session journal, and weekly reports.
