Promodify vs Freedom — blocking distractions vs replacing them
Freedom blocks the apps that distract you. Promodify gives you something calmer to look at while you don't open them.
Freedom is the gold-standard distraction blocker — schedule a session and Twitter, Reddit, Slack, and friends go dark across every device you've linked.
Promodify doesn't block anything. It changes the visual and audio environment so you stop wanting to switch tabs in the first place: an immersive forest, an ocean loop, brown noise, a 50-minute countdown in the tab title.
