Android-first digital self-control

Take back your attention.

Restrainify protects you from explicit content, compulsive scrolling, and harmful digital triggers while keeping useful phone functionality within reach.

The problem

Your attention is being engineered away from you.

Modern apps often remove the pause between impulse and action. Restrainify is built to put that pause back.

Infinite feeds

Short-form algorithms remove natural stopping points and make one more swipe feel effortless.

Explicit content

A single impulsive search can become a larger loop that is harder to leave once it starts.

Digital overload

Useful tools sit beside high-friction habits, and hours can disappear into low-value inputs.

Restrainify puts friction back where technology removed it.

How it works

Restriction without isolation.

Restrainify is not designed to make your phone unusable. The goal is to keep the useful parts and restrain the parts that keep pulling you backwards.

01

Your phone stays useful

Keep calls, maps, work, learning, and intentional entertainment within reach.

02

Restrainify adds friction

Local rules, protection health, visual checks, limits, and Burst sit between impulse and action.

03

Risky loops slow down

Explicit content, supported short-form feeds, risky visuals, and high-risk moments meet a boundary.

Allowed path

Useful activity remains available

The point is not isolation. It is keeping everyday utility intact while reducing destructive inputs.

Protected path

High-risk activity is interrupted

When a trigger appears, the app can block, blur, limit, cool down, or ask for a more deliberate choice.

Core capabilities

Protection for what you see, where you drift, and what you are building.

The systems work together as one self-control platform, not a pile of disconnected blockers.

Visual and web protection

Protect what you see

Reduce exposure to adult websites, explicit imagery, suggestive content, and high-risk visual triggers with protections designed for Android.

  • Adult domain protection and manual blocked lists
  • Allow lists for sites that should remain reachable
  • On-device explicit or suggestive content checks where supported
  • Covering or blurring for risky visual areas without cloud image analysis

Attention controls

Protect where you lose time

Restrict supported short-form experiences and apply broader app limits when feed-only control cannot be maintained reliably.

  • Supported restrictions for Reels, Shorts, Spotlight, and similar feeds
  • Per-app limits, schedules, and daily screen-time controls
  • Whole-app restrictions when granular blocking is not dependable
  • Useful phone functions can remain available

Recovery support

Protect your progress

Restrainify tracks more than a single streak, so one bad moment does not erase the wider evidence of progress.

  • Current and longest streaks
  • Porn-free days and relapse history
  • Blocked attempts and risky-content counts
  • Burst for high-risk moments and urges resisted

On-device visual protection

Protection that sees risk without sending it away.

Supported visual content can be analyzed on the Android device. Temporary frames used for inference are not intended to become saved screenshots, and raw screen content is not uploaded for cloud visual analysis.

Processed on device

No screenshot storage

No cloud image analysis

No screen-content upload

Social protection

Control the feeds that keep restarting themselves.

Restrainify can restrict supported short-form experiences. When a specific feed cannot be controlled reliably, broader app restrictions can provide the safer boundary.

Instagram Reels

YouTube Shorts

Recovery

Restriction is only half the solution.

Progress should survive a hard day. A relapse may reset one streak, but it should not erase the wider record of better choices.

Burst

When discipline is not enough, use Burst.

Burst is a one-tap temporary intervention for a high-risk moment. It can increase restrictions, start a cooldown, suggest a physical interruption, and let you mark the urge as resisted.

Mental clarity

Your mind consumes what you repeatedly feed it.

Restrainify is not about reducing screen time simply to make a number smaller. It is about creating room for deeper focus, healthier habits, intentional consumption, better inputs, and deliberate choices.
