Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Hossam, the solo developer of The Blocker. I built it for people who want to keep adult content off their iPhone without handing their browsing to an account, a company or an "accountability partner". What it does: • Free: a Safari content blocker. Adult sites are blocked from the first launch, plus up to 10 sites of your own, and a free 30-day challenge where a slip never sends you back to zero. • Pro: Strong protection uses Apple's Screen Time on your own iPhone, so adult sites stay blocked in Chrome, Firefox and in links you open inside apps like Instagram or X. It can also stop the app from being deleted, keep apps you choose closed, and lock every website for one hour at a hard moment. • Private: no account, no ads, nothing reported to anyone. Rules stay on your device. 12 languages. Honest limits: it doesn't filter posts inside app feeds, and whoever holds the Screen Time passcode can undo it — so a trusted person keeping that passcode is the strongest setup. I'd love your feedback — especially on setup and on what would make it more useful for you. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

How hard should it be to undo a block you set on yourself?

I'm Hossam, a solo developer from Egypt. I'm building The Blocker, an iPhone app for people who want to stop visiting adult sites, privately, before they're ready to tell anyone.

The hardest design question hasn't been the blocking itself. It's this: how hard should it be to undo something you chose to do?

Where I've landed so far:

- Strong protection uses Apple's Screen Time, so the block works in every browser and in links you open inside other apps, not just Safari. It can also stop the app from being deleted.
