Freedom Custom Builds

Many people have written me with requests like: “I love Freedom, but I need access to Wikipedia and e-mail (etc.) to do my work.” If this sounds like you, I have good news: I will create custom builds of Freedom to your specified access needs. If you need access to Wikipedia and email, but want to block everything else – a custom build of Freedom can do just that.

Freedom’s design philosophy centers around the “complete block,” so the main program will remain that way. The custom build is a unique, individual modification of the program for your needs. Freedom, of course, remains free – but a custom build requires programming effort, which costs $250 US. In return, you’ll get your own version of Freedom and a 5-seat license you can share with friends.

If you are interested in a custom build, please email me – fred at fredstutzman.com – and describe your needs.
