Hey Product Hunt, My name is Courage, and I built Threshold for adults choosing recovery—from pornography, gambling, doomscrolling, or any habit their future self doesn’t want their present self feeding. The problem Most blockers fail at the exact moment they matter most. At 2 AM, when you’re tired, lonely, stressed, or impulsive, every blocker gives you an exit: • Enter your password • Pause for 15 minutes • Disable the extension • Uninstall and pretend it never happened And in that moment, willpower loses. Most tools are built for productivity. Threshold is built for weakness. What we built instead Threshold is a commitment-based site blocker designed for recovery. Not productivity. Not focused. Recovery. It works on one principle: You installed this when you were strong. It should protect you when you’re not. How it’s different • No self-unlock During setup, you generate a random commitment code and never see it again. The lock isn’t tied to memory or willpower. • Human accountability Choose one trusted person—friend, mentor, sponsor, or spouse. They’re notified when you slip, and they receive weekly summaries. • Delayed unlock system Need to change your blocklist or accountability partner? Your partner approves it, then a 72-hour waiting period begins. They can revoke it anytime. • Calm interruption, not punishment When blocked, you see your own pledge, a chosen scripture/quote/affirmation, and an optional 60-second breathing exercise. • Private by design Journal entries stay on your device. Your partner sees only attempted domains, streaks, and unlock requests. What Threshold deliberately refuses to be No leaderboards. No social feeds. No “just this once” button. No AI therapist. No streak freezes. No surveillance dashboards. Because recovery isn’t gamification. And trust shouldn’t become monitoring. Who it’s for People fighting habits they’re serious about changing. Pornography. Sports betting. Compulsive scrolling. Any site or behavior they’ve decided should have a boundary. Honest limits A determined person can switch browsers. We’re honest about that. Threshold isn’t the wall. Your commitment is the threshold. Your accountability partner is the wall. If you’re building discipline, choosing recovery, or helping someone who is, I’d love your feedback. www.jointhehold.com Drop your thoughts below. I’ll be here all day 🙌
