1. Covenant Eyes

• Designed specifically for adults dealing with porn/sex addiction. 

• Uses Screen Accountability, not just URL blocking—this means it monitors actual screen activity (including incognito). 

• Sends detailed reports to an accountability partner (friend, sponsor, coach). 

• VPN included to monitor all apps and browsers. 

• Offers educational tools, recovery podcasts, and support. Use this with a committed partner, and it’s incredibly powerful. 

2. Canopy  

• AI scans and blocks explicit images and videos in real time, even ones that aren’t on known porn sites. 

• Works even in incognito mode or private apps. 

• You can’t easily bypass it, and it doesn’t rely on outdated blacklists. 

• Also blocks nudity on social media and image-based searches. 

Best part: If you're tech-savvy and know how to get around traditional blockers, Canopy still works. 

3. Pluckeye 

• By default, blocks everything—you manually approve websites, with a delay. 

• Great for people who want to rewire compulsive behavior by removing instant gratification. 

• You can set delays for changes (like 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week), so you can’t make impulsive exceptions. 

Best part: This is for people who really mean business—it’s strict, minimalistic, and effective. 

4. Fortify (Now Called Relay) 

 • Not a blocker, but a recovery app with daily tracking, lessons, journaling, and a support community. 

• Helps you understand the psychology of addiction, how to beat urges, and how to rebuild confidence. 

• Can track triggers and wins over time. 

Pair this with Covenant Eyes or Canopy for a killer combo.
