I absolutely love Pluckeye. It has helped me in quite a few moments with my addiction to porn and kept me away from certain images and sites because the moments that I knew I wasn't craving, I was blocking every site I knew and now I'm off for good. I've had some issues with using Google Drive and seeing Gmail icons on the page (Gmail is still usable) but they're the only sites I've had issues with. I made this Alternative To account just to leave a good review. Thank you to the creator and I hope you start making enough money to support yourself and your family.

Plucky is by far the most advanced web filter I could find. It is very hard to bypass and perfect, if you want to get away from media addiction. It has a pretty steep learning curve, but it is worth it

It is like a best friend when it comes to control my internet usage (Facebook, YouTube, any distracting website!) so that I do not procrastinate and helps eliminate porn!!

Installs like a program, interacts like extension. Appears USA-based. I was just curious, and made more screenshots of options, but I will leave the heavy testing to you,-image filtering extensions are enough for me. I will bet this makes a good parental tool, too. My network monitor shows a change to the host file, but upon uninstallation the file appears to be default.

Command-line (CLI) and works on Linux. Has a firewall like a rule-based interface. Helps with concentration and work.

What is Plucky?

Pluckeye is a filter designed with compulsive users of porn in mind.

When Pluckeye is first installed, all images on the Internet are blocked.

The user then typically whitelists sites from which images are allowed, and sets a waiting period that prevents the user from adding new rules and accessing additional images before the waiting period has expired.

Pluckeye supports scheduled access, accountability, and a few other features.

It is primarily for the person hoping to quit porn, but it is also used by people who simply want to limit their own access to sites such as gmail or facebook and to avoid clickbait.
