I’m very pleased to announce that Freedom, my internet-blocking productivity software, is now available for Windows!
Over the past two years, countless people have written to me, asking if there is a version of Freedom for Windows. I hated telling people that they couldn’t have Freedom. I’m happy to report that if you’ve got a Windows XP, Vista, or 7 computer, you too can now experience Freedom.
Want to know a little more about Freedom? Read about it in the New York Times Magazine, Salon.com, USA Today, Chronicle of Higher Education, LifeHacker, and others. I’m also quite partial to the recent article on Freedom in the Guardian that starts: “With the help of a lovely man called Fred, I’m no longer in thrall to SamCam’s cape and Guido Fawkes.”
Let me know what you think!

Nice!
The only caveat is that a large portion of my work requires online connectivity. For example, writing a lit review requires the access to Google Scholar and UNC library services.
Is it possible to restrict the access to a number of pre-approved sites instead of a full-on straight jacket app?
Unfortunately, Freedom is a full block. You need to get DevonThink so you can have all your materials at hand :) That’s how I wrote my proposal!
I always thought I didn’t need Freedom until I began to long for transatlantic flights…
Thanks for the new version: I’ll be trying it right now ;)
Thanks Fred – Freedom is perfect. Win version means I can have it at work as well as home!
Hm. How is DevonThink different from OneNote or Evernote?
