Pluckeye: A self-control tool to help manage online habits with a unique delay-based approach
About Pluckeye
Pluckeye is a configurable Internet content filter designed to aid self-control by blocking images and videos by default. It uses a delay system for configuration changes, encouraging mindful decisions over impulsive ones. Suitable for managing addictions to porn, social media, gaming, and more, Pluckeye is built for those seeking to overcome online temptations. Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
