Todo apps require manual discipline: you have to look at them, decide what to do next, and remember to check them off. Pomodoro timers are rigid 25/5 intervals with no concept of your actual workload. Freedom treats your day as an ordered queue of custom-timed tasks with automatic transitions, measuring whether your actual time matched your plan.

While a task is running, you can minimize the main Freedom app completely. A tiny, calm pill stays on your screen showing your current task progress and countdown. It never steals focus from your IDE, browser, or documents, and it can be placed anywhere on screen.

Yes, 100%. Freedom’s runtime engine lives locally in your desktop process and writes every state change to disk. You can run full day plans on airplanes, off-grid cabins, or during internet outages without missing a single tick.

We use pure timestamp arithmetic instead of naive incrementing counters. If your laptop goes to sleep, the engine detects the suspend/resume events and accounts for sleep time. If your machine crashes, launching Freedom immediately presents a 1-click resume screen with your exact remaining time.

The score is a transparent 0–100 calculation based on four factors: completion percentage (40%), planning accuracy (35%), streak bonus (10%), and failure penalties. It rewards realistic estimation just as much as raw speed.

Your task titles and day plans are strictly private to your account. Only your aggregate public stats (total productive minutes and current streak) are visible on opt-in leaderboards. We never sell data or train AI models on your task descriptions.

Freedom currently supports macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel, Sonoma 14+ and Sequoia). A Windows 11 desktop release is currently in closed testing and shipping next month.
