Forecast01
It sees the hard hours coming
It learns when things get hard for you, and quietly tightens a little before they start.
A porn blocker that still works when you don’t want it to.
It learns your hardest hours, holds through them, and makes anything that weakens it wait a day. It never looks at what you do.
01 / How it worksReal screens, from the app
Hard to switch off. Easy to live with.
Blocking alone gets switched off at the worst moment. VisionShield plans around those moments instead.
Urges02
One tap when an urge hits
A timer, a breathing guide and the reason you wrote down. Urges rise and pass; this helps you sit through the top of one.
The wait03
Turning it off takes a day
Anything that weakens protection waits 24 hours, and can be cancelled until then. By then the moment has usually passed.
Check-in04
Fifteen seconds a night
Mood, sleep, stress. It sharpens tomorrow’s forecast and stays on your phone.
Ally05
Someone in your corner
A private link for someone you trust. They see whether protection is on and how the week went, and hear before it turns off.
Windows06
Your PC too
The same filter on every connection, browser settings put back if they’re changed, and the same day’s wait. Link it to your phone in a minute.
02 / Privacy
Nobody’s watching.
No screenshots, no browsing history, no account. What you write stays on your phone, encrypted.
02 / PrivacyWhat it never does
Accountability without surveillance.
Most accountability apps work by showing someone your screen. That keeps people hiding, not quitting.
A
No screenshots
Blocking checks the names of sites against a family filter. Nothing reads, records or decrypts what you do.
B
Yours, encrypted
Check-ins, urges and reflections stay on your phone in an encrypted database, with a key that never leaves it.
C
An ally, not a monitor
Your ally sees whether protection is on and the week’s counts. Never a site, a time or a word you wrote. How privacy works

Accountability apps here means the ones that report to a partner, like Covenant Eyes. A closer look.
04 / Questions
Fair questions.
Who is it for?
Adults who’ve decided to quit porn for themselves. It isn’t parental control, and you can’t put it on someone else’s phone to keep an eye on them.
Does it read my messages or see what I browse?
No. Blocking works by checking the names of sites against a family filter, the same way any DNS service does. Nothing reads, records or decrypts what you do.
Can’t I just turn it off?
You can. It’s your phone. It just takes a day, so it can’t happen in the moment you’d regret it most. If you have an ally, they hear about it when you ask, not after.
Can I make it harder to turn off?
Yes. You can lock protection on for 7 to 90 days. Until then, turning it off isn’t offered and it can only get stronger. Ending a lock early takes a week, or your ally can let you out sooner.
What does it do on iPhone, Android and Windows?
On iPhone it uses Apple’s own adult filter and Screen Time, adds a family filter for every app, and keeps your Screen Time passcode so you can’t switch it off on a whim. On Android it filters through Private DNS, with guard mode and lockdown for when you want it shut properly. On a Windows PC it holds the same filter on every connection and puts the browsers’ safe settings back if they’re changed.
What happens to what I write?
It stays on your phone, encrypted. The only exception is if you switch on AI reflections and tap ask: then that one reflection is sent to get a pattern and a plan back, and nothing is kept. If what you wrote mentions hurting yourself, nothing is sent and the app shows you people to call instead.
Is this instead of counselling?
No. It’s for the hours between support, not a treatment. If it’s more than urges, a GP or counsellor is a good next step.
Start steady.
One app for your phone, and one for your computer. Link them, and your ally sees both.
