From Fred Stutzman, who is looking for network-free moments in which to ‘[code, write or create](https://www.ibiblio.org/fred/freedom/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)‘:

> In an attempt to resist the encroachment of network into the spaces of productivity, [![](https://www.ibiblio.org/fred/freedom/imgs/logo.png)](https://www.ibiblio.org/fred/freedom/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)I’ve created Freedom. Freedom is a Mac application that disables your computer’s networking capabilities for a selected time interval. Some of you may turn off your network when you need to be productive; I’ve done that, but always found myself popping the network on at my next break (and losing 20 minutes to YouTube/Wikipedia/etc). Freedom takes this approach a step further, locking you out of your network for your selected time interval; Freedom enforces freedom. \[[Unit Structures: Productive Unit Structures: Introducing Freedom](https://chimprawk.blogspot.com/2008/04/productive-unit-structures-introducing.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
