Buy me a coffeeThe Free, 100% Offline Alternative to Freedom
Freedom is a dedicated distraction blocker that syncs block sessions across your devices. Produchive treats blocking as one part of a bigger focus system: it can block distracting apps during focus time, but it also tracks what you actually used, plans your day with on-device AI, and nudges you when you drift off-task, all free and offline on your desktop.
Zero Subscription Cost
Freedom pricing: Subscription. Produchive core is free and open source forever.
Zero Telemetry & Cloud Tracking
No window titles or work logs are sent to cloud servers. All routines and focus metrics remain 100% on your device.
On-Device WebGPU AI
Productivity coaching runs locally on your laptop GPU using open models (Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma) with zero cloud API keys.
