Block explicit content, reduce compulsive scrolling, and build healthier digital habits without making your phone unusable.
Modern apps remove natural stopping points and optimize for attention, not intention.
Sensitive or explicit content can appear even when you were not actively searching for it.
Infinite scrolling removes natural stopping points and makes disengagement harder.
Most screen-time tools can be disabled in seconds when willpower is lowest.
Restrainify adds friction where you need it without making useful technology inaccessible.
The app is shaped for digital self-control, porn blocking, safer social media use, and attention recovery. Instead of cutting you off from your phone, it helps you slow the moments that usually turn into automatic scrolling or risky browsing.
Social Feed
Today's boundary
You've used 30 minutes today. Take a 10-minute break or continue with a five-minute intention.
Restrainify blocks known adult websites and gives you control over additional websites and search behavior.
Where supported, Restrainify can detect sensitive visual content and blur it before it gets your attention. It is built for people who want privacy-first explicit content protection, safer browsing, and less impulsive screen use without sending sensitive screen visuals to the cloud.
Private detection
Visual checks stay local where supported.
Screen-time control
Limits reduce compulsive app loops.
Intentional reveal
A pause before sensitive content appears.
Create boundaries for the apps and feeds most likely to pull you into compulsive use. Set time limits, schedule blocks, or disable specific app features entirely.
Daily minutes and quiet hours per app, so the boundary you set on a clear-headed morning is still there at midnight.
Strict mode and uninstall protection add intentional friction, so one impulsive moment is harder to act on. It is friction, not a trap: you choose the length of the lock in advance.
True digital self-control requires more than just restriction. We provide tools to help you reflect, track progress without judgment, and build intentionality over time.
Restrainify tracks more than a single streak, so one bad moment does not erase the wider evidence of progress.
Example figures, shown for illustration.
Restrainify is designed to process sensitive visual information locally wherever possible. No cloud uploads for content detection.
A calmer Android blocking app for explicit content, endless feeds, and impulse-driven browsing. Restrainify keeps useful phone access available while adding privacy-first boundaries at the moments that usually pull attention off track.
Select the websites, apps, and feeds that challenge your focus or boundaries. Build a personal digital self-control plan around explicit content blocking, social media limits, and healthier phone habits.
Our on-device systems act as a buffer between impulse and action, blurring or blocking content before it grabs you and adding a mindful pause when scrolling starts to become automatic.
Review your progress, journal high-risk moments, and slowly rewire your relationship with your device through visible streaks, urge resistance, and practical recovery metrics.
Processing happens on your device. We don't want your data.
Visual analysis is temporary. No screenshots are saved or uploaded.
Restrainify targets the problem areas, not the tools you actually need.
Built deeply into the OS for maximum reliability and protection.
