Does freedom allow you to block apps? I have it and it works nicely for safari and my Mac. I haven't been successful in trying to have it block apps. Maybe because I have an ancient iPhone.


It allows you to install a vpn on iOS that blocks traffic to domains on your blocklist, effectively blocking apps (unless you download things offline like YouTube videos or Podcasts).


Apple added official app blocking APIs in iOS 16, so you don't need to use someone's sketchy VPN anymore. Burnout Buddy is an app that uses this.
