Fella vs Freedom

Built for one problem.
Your iPhone.

Freedom blocks across your phone, laptop, and browser with sessions you start yourself. Fella is always on, iPhone-only, and needs no daily setup. Here's how they compare.

Freedom covers everything you own. Phone, laptop, browser, all locked down together through sessions you schedule or start yourself. It's built to be comprehensive, which means it's also built around upkeep: sessions to plan, start, and remember to keep running.

Fella covers the one device that actually gets you. No sessions, no scheduling, nothing to start each morning. Pick your apps once and the block just runs, every day, with one 5-minute unlock if you truly need in.

Freedom's sessions can typically be ended early or skipped when you decide you've had enough. Fella's unlock re-locks itself the moment the 5 minutes are up. Both sit on top of Apple's Screen Time tools on iPhone, and Fella runs $9.99 a month or $34.99 a year, with a 3-day free trial.

Why people switch to Fella

Nothing to schedule. No sessions to start before you're tempted, extend when you're not ready to stop, or forget to renew until the block has quietly lapsed. Fella just runs, every day, whether you remembered to think about it or not.

One unlock, not an early-end button. Fella's daily 5-minute unlock is the only exception, and there's no button waiting nearby for the moment you decide the session's gone on long enough. When the 5 minutes end, the lock comes back on its own, no matter how badly you want otherwise.

Simpler by design. No cross-device account syncing, no session management to keep straight across three different apps. Just your iPhone, blocked, and one less thing pulling at your attention before you've even opened it.
