––– IMPORTANT –––
* PorNo! IS ONLY IN ENGLISH
I'll translate the app into other languages after I finish school! Don't complain >:(

* PorNo! ONLY WORKS FOR GOOGLE CHROME
PorNo! only has support for users of the Google Chrome browser -- other browsers will be implemented in the future if the demand exists.

* PorNo! MUST BE ENABLED IN SETTINGS > ACCESSIBILITY > SERVICE
PorNo! uses Accessibility services to detect if the user is attempting to/visiting a porn site -- these services must be enabled by the user for the app to work. Without this enabling, PorNo! will not work.

* PorNo! REQUIRES THE STORAGE PERMISSION
PorNo! saves your redirect links to the storage of your phone, hence the permission. No other device data is accessed in this context.
On a side note, avoid editing the links.txt file or the changes may produce unexpected behavior.

* THIS APP IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT
PorNo!'s porn site detection algorithm is still being improved. Therefore, not all porn/adult sites will be blocked by PorNo!, yet. More sites and improvements to the algorithm are added with every update, but keep this in mind if you are considering on using PorNo! for other purposes (a porn blocker on a child's computer, for example).

* PorNo! NEEDS MORE WEBSITES IN ITS DATABASE
The websites currently saved in PorNo! are the ones found in the USA, where I live and develop. Instructions for contributing ARE AT THE BOTTOM...assistance on globalizing PorNo! for more languages and countries will be greatly appreciated!

* PorNo! IS A TOOL, NOT A CURE
For one to truly overcome porn addiction and use, it depends heavily on the person's own commitment, determination, and perseverance. There will be failure and hard times, but with enough effort, success is possible. All the best.

**************

Welcome to PorNo!, an attempt at creating the last porn blocker anyone will ever need (we still have much to do, though!).
PorNo! is, by default, a porn-blocker, but with a twist: Instead of being greeted by a standard "Site Blocked" page, PorNo! will redirect users to sites that inspire and empower the user when s/he visits a porn site.
Inside a porn user's mind are many connections and pathways that have associated pleasure with porn. By redirecting users, PorNo! attempts to rewire these connections to associate pleasure with more wholesome and joyful content, overwriting the influences porn has left behind.
The idea is to convert unwanted sexual/pornographic dependencies into personal, meaningful energies, energy now used in wholesome and forward-moving outlets.

To use PorNo!, install the app and add links to sites that inspire you, empower you, encourage you to do great things, to do your best....etc. Sites, articles, videos, music, add whatever!
For best results, please clear the cache of Google Chrome on your phone to slow the re-download of any adult sites the user may attempt to re-visit.
To access the instructions, simply click on "How to use" at the top of the app.

Please email me ([email protected]) all the porn sites you know exist as well as any sites that aren't blocked by PorNo!. Thank you!

The source code for the algorithm is here: https://github.com/mrvivacious/porNo_open_source

And the app:
https://github.com/mrvivacious/PorNo_Android

The developer logs:
https://mrvivacious.github.io/dev/dev_PorNo.html

-- The Chrome extension is currently unavailable, will add link when we are live.

Good luck in your efforts!

(Again, PorNo! only works with Google Chrome)

I use Brave on my PC & my phone, the browser extension on the pc works well, as it should, but the app doesn't work on my phone. I really hope this gets fixed soon. Thank you anyway for making the app, you're doing a great thing!

Hi, I really like the app and all for its usefulness, especially the chrome version. However, I'd like to suggest: Can you also add a redirection option to other apps as well instead of just internet links? Would be very appreciated.
