Instead of StayFree
StayFree alternatives
StayFree brings device-use tracking and distraction controls together. It reports usage across linked devices, sets app and website limits, and offers scheduled or manual Focus Mode. Website limits can end access, send a notification, or show a dismissible popup; its in-app controls can hide distracting social-media sections without blocking an entire site. The free plan spans mobile, desktop, web, browser extensions, and Wear OS, with a pairing code to connect usage data.

A switch may make sense if you need a particular kind of control or a narrower device fit. Freedom adds sessions that resist early quitting and focus sounds; ScreenZen offers boundary-triggered blocking; Apple Screen Time includes family-oriented schedules. Other options add breathing prompts, usage rewards, or offline desktop operation. Compare supported platforms, how blocks start and can be bypassed, and which tracking or reporting tools matter to you. Also weigh any trial or paid plan against StayFree’s free cross-device statistics and flexible limits.
