PornStop – App locking with trusted contact control to reduce porn use

Summary: PornStop restricts access to selected apps by requiring an unlock key from a trusted contact, preventing users from bypassing blocks when motivation is low. It aims to support users in managing porn addiction by adding an external control layer to app access.

What it does

Users lock specific apps and only a trusted contact can send the unlock key, making it harder to override restrictions. This external control prevents easy bypassing common in other blocking tools.

Who it's for

Individuals seeking to reduce porn use who need stronger barriers than self-imposed app restrictions.

Why it matters

It addresses the common failure of self-blocking apps by shifting unlock control to a trusted person, reducing the chance of relapse due to low motivation.
