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.

Comments and Reviews
I like Lockbox by Pluckeye, but when I tried to download Pluckeye, I got the error message, "We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly."

I like the delay feature in Pluckeye.

I emailed Jon Wilkes at Pluckeye, and he resolved the downloading issue.
When Plucky blocks a program, it blocks network connections from the program, but I would prefer that it could also block opening the program.

Unfortunately, Plucky does not run on iPhone.

Unfortunately, the 'safer' feature of Plucky did not block browsing unsafe websites via a proxy:

I installed Plucky with the 'wimpy' starting configuration. Unfortunately, it did not block ExampleAdultSite.com.
Unfortunately, the Plucky web browser for Android does not work for me. I can't switch tabs or even type in a web address.
Plucky does not support Firefox: https://docs.pluckeye.net/firefox
One of the only tools out there that really worked for me. You will struggle mightily to work around it compared to a regular productivity app you can download from the app store. It helped me not only block p*rn but also live a happier, more fulfilling life away from screens without having to switch completely to a dumb phone.
They also offer a free subscription for people from low-income countries like myself, which I massively appreciate. I left this review to try to support the creators in any way I can until I can do so financially.
Plucky is the only porn blocker and discipline empowering app that has worked for me. Using this will help everyone who has addiction to certain websites or apps and wants to get rid of it or at least add limitations rules which are not bypassable and must be obeyed.
Really great software! This is the only blocker that has been most effective at helping me stay porn free
Plucky is an essential for me. It is an incredibly powerful and customizable self-control program. It has a bit of a learning curve, but there exists ample resources to learn how to use it. Once you get the hang of it, you'll find an enormous amount of possibilities with Plucky.
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
the best filter there is. and is helping and continuing to help me fight my addictions, thank you plucky.
