“I'd tried everything since I was nineteen. What changed here is that I simply couldn't. After two weeks my brain stopped looking.”
“The night I wanted to uninstall everything, I couldn't. I was furious. The next morning I was grateful.”
“Nobody knows I use it. No accountability partner, no support group. A closed door, and my life coming back.”
“The hard part lasted five days. After that the urge became background noise, then nothing at all.”
“I wake up without shame. I hadn't realised how much it weighed every single morning.”

Not a promise.
The two screens that matter.
Your space exactly as it is: the filter, the pace, the supervised device, the curfew. And what the phone shows instead at two in the morning. Nothing here is staged.
Not a promise.
The screen that matters.
What the phone shows at two in the morning, on a category you locked that same morning.
MeLock active
FilteringStrict
Porn, nudity and adult themes blocked at the root, continuously, on every device on the profile.
There is no lower setting: a lock you can loosen is not a lock.
Quitting paceLocked 7/7
Floor reached: 7 days, it never drops below. Adding a day takes effect immediately; removing one waits 24 hours — an urge to loosen does not survive a night.

A device does not come off in one click: the profile would stay installed on it. It detaches by abandoning the profile, with its cooling-off delay.

Every day
Every device is locked.
The phone at 02:47, on a category you locked this morning.
That screen is what tonight looks like from now on.
Start free3 days free, then $16/monthYou have already tried to stop.
And you held. Three days, maybe two weeks. Then one tired evening it all started again — and the shame came with it.
The blocker uninstalled in thirty seconds
A block you can remove yourself is not a block. It's a sticky note on the door, and you already know the gesture that takes it off.
Two in the morning
Tired, alone, brain on autopilot. That's where it's decided — and that's exactly where you have nothing left to hold on to.
Don't fight the urge. Delete it.
At two in the morning you are not the same person. A man who has to resist every night eventually gives in. In front of a locked door, there is nothing left to negotiate.
A whole night wrestling bare-handed.

Willpower alone has always lost.
This isn't a character contest. It's a question of architecture: who decides, and at what hour.

A system that holds
when you no longer can.
No coaching, no mental strength required. A technical lock set once, on a day you're doing fine, that does the work on the days you're not.
What it can see, and what it cannot.
You are about to hand a lock over to a company. Here is exactly how far it reaches — and where it stops.
- Not your photos, messages or passwordsNothing on the device is read. The lock restricts, it does not look.
- Not a company phoneNo remote commands, no app installed or removed for you, no wipe, no location. Supervision here does one thing: keep the filter from being taken off.
- No history keptFiltering works on whole categories, not on a list of addresses. We do not read your history, we store nothing, and no report goes to anyone.
- Nobody is toldNo accountability partner, no email to a third party, no shared dashboard. This stays between you and the door.
- You get your phone backThe block is not permanent: abandoning the profile releases the device once the cooling-off delay has run. Slow on purpose — never impossible.
- A new device is not affectedChange your iPhone and it is untouched until you lock it too. Ten minutes, the same three moves.
Written in plain terms in the privacy policy, with the four processors we actually use.

“Others” means Screen Time and the paid blocker apps. Each covers part of this list — none covers all of it, and none holds the code for you.
What you get inside the app.
A blocker blocks, and that's where it stops. The rest — the step you're on, what you're aiming at, the weekly check-in — is exactly what makes people still here six months later.
They made it to the other side.
Men who had all already failed several times before.

One payment, no subscription — 30-day money-back
Thirty days, refunded without justification.
And a hundred dollars on top if you manage to strip the filter off a device we locked. You are not risking the price of the app — we are.
Discreet payment: nothing explicit appears on your bank statement.
What you’re actually wondering.
What's this $100 thing?
A bet we stand behind: on a device we locked ourselves, if you manage to strip the filter off by your own means, we send you a hundred dollars and refund you. It isn't bravado — it's the logical consequence of supervision, which makes the profile immovable without going through your account.
Can I uninstall it if I crack?
No, and that's the entire point. Your device is supervised: the block doesn't come off on an impulse. You stay free to stop, but through a deliberate request from your account, not in thirty seconds at two in the morning.
Can you see what I look at?
No. Blocking happens at DNS level, by whole categories. We don't read your history, we don't store your searches, and nobody receives a report. This fight is yours: we provide the door, not a supervisor.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone, iPad, Mac and Windows. The reinforced lock — the one that doesn't uninstall — goes through supervision of Apple devices. On the others, the filter installs in a few minutes.
Why does it cost money?
Because free blockers live off your data, or abandon you at the first workaround. Here you're the customer, not the product: maintained filtering infrastructure, no ads, nothing resold.
Straight cut or gradual — which do I pick?
If you're decided and you want it done, take the straight cut: seven days a week, right away. If you've already failed several times going cold turkey, take the gradual one: four locked days at the start, then one more day every two weeks until seven out of seven. Either way, the floor never drops back down.
What about private browsing? A VPN?
Private browsing changes nothing: the filter works on the device, not on the browser. And in locked mode on iPhone, adding a workaround VPN is blocked by the profile itself.
How long before it gets better?
In the first few days your brain looks for the door and finds it locked. Most users describe real relief from the pressure between two and four weeks in. The day counter does the rest.
Device by device, what actually holds.
Screen Time, DNS profiles, hosts files, accountability apps: we tested how each one gets undone, and wrote it down.
