App summary

Discover a new era of digital wellness with LeadMeNot, your partner in fighting destructive digital habits. Blending accountability, introspection, and deep personalization, LeadMeNot is more than just a website blocker or porn blocker—it's a path to digital freedom. Whether you're looking to block websites, app block, or manage screen time control, LeadMeNot has you covered.

Choose between automated blocking or human accountability for the support that meets your needs, whether it's to stay focused or quit porn.

Current use cases address Unwanted Sexual Behavior (e.g., quit porn, explicit or implicit sexual content) & Unhealthy Digital Usage (e.g., social media overuse) with comprehensive parental control and screen time blocker features.

How LeadMeNot Works
Block or Monitor: Set boundaries with our automated blocker and get real-time alerts sent to you and your accountability partner(s). Set either Standard Rules or Custom Rules.
Standard Rules: We maintain a standard set of keywords and websites for the Unwanted Sexual Behavior use case to either be Blocked or Monitored or both.
Customizable Trigger Rules: Define the apps, websites, or activities that pose challenges. For example, "No more than 30 minutes on Facebook" will either Block Facebook, or send an alert to your Accountability Partner(s).
Parental Control: Become an accountability partner on your child's devices and receive alerts whenever they cross pre-set digital boundaries
Privacy Matters: Maintain control with exclusions and secure data handling.
Self-Reflection for Growth: Daily journaling prompts help you understand your journey.

This app is a paid one but worth it. No ads at all so that's one less possible temptation there. If you very troubled I would recomend a group experience in CONJUNCTION with something like this. It's basically a safety net that it's OK to lean on sometimes. It does a great job removing the options which I'm and of itself takes pressure off the user. Even better still is it's a personal experience with the creator who's here to help, not some call center lackie who can't relate. 5 out of 5 stars.

This app is just what I was looking for and does what I need it to do. It has powerful monitoring and blocking capabilities combined with a high level of customization to tailor to each user's needs and struggles. It does this from a context of encouraging change and personal growth that reveals the developer's passion for helping people find freedom from digital addictions. It is well worth the minimal cost. I am very much looking forward to a desktop version in the future!

I like the simplistic design of the app. However, I can easily turn off the monitoring after a couple of attempts - every time. It was very helpful before, but now, for whatever reason it is buggy in that area. The app isn't too invasive, not too much over filtration, just enough to do what it needs. But now, I'm paying money when it used to be free and worked better...how does that work? Please fix the ability to turn off the filter so it can't be deactivated. Thanks.
