Freedom, I won't let you down...

Just one last suggestion for anti-procrastination software in the shape of Freedom.

This post will complete the trilogy of posts on this subject and unless I become possessed with the spirit of George Lucas and end up posting prequels that ruin this original trilogy. (Thats unfair, I've not seen the last one yet).

Freedom is another free little app and is the simplest of them all.

You select how long you want your mac's network facilities to be disabled for and select start, thats it.

The only thing is, is that you can stop the countdown, it requires an awkward restart of your computer, but it can still be stopped.

Personally, I like the simplicity of this one. Selecting ALL network facilities and shutting them down is great, but the fairly easy way to stop the countdown kinda ruins it.

I think SelfControl is the winner of this unintended shootout.
