In the past few weeks, Freedom has made a few appearances around the web:
- The Chicago Tribune ran a feature article about Freedom,
- Fantastic authors Dan Baum (Nine Lives) and Jeff Howe (Crowdsourcing) tweeted about using Freedom. Thanks!
- Dennis Cass, who has written for Harper’s, the New York Times Magazine, and Slate, writes of Freedom: “To say that it’s changed my life is an understatement. After a few weeks using Freedom, I discovered that the book browsing and the people watching really weren’t the problem. It was the internet.”
- I made an entirely surreal appearance on the Mancow show to promote Freedom. The person who came on after me “speaks to angels.”
- Freedom made an appearance on the Economist’s Intelligent Life blog and the great blog Unclutterer.
- Finally, Freedom made it to the top of Reddit.com/geek.
Thanks to everyone who links to Freedom!
If you’d like to receive email notifications of new versions of Freedom, I’ve created an announcement-only email list that will announce new releases. You can find out more about keeping up with Freedom here.
I’ve also updated the build of Freedom v0.5.1 to fix a bug that some users encountered when saving their default Freedom interval. If you get a minute, please update. As always, your feedback/bug reports/kind words are appreciated!
Freedom v0.5.1 has been released. This is strictly a feature request release. Freedom now:
- Remembers the length of your last session, so you won’t have to change it every time you run Freedom.
- Remembers your default network setting
- Will start a new session without having to restart the program.
A special thanks to Alan Steinberger and Tim Parnell for the feature and implementation suggestions. You can download the new version directly (http://macfreedom.com/wp-content/dmg/Freedom.dmg) or from the website (http://macfreedom.com).
