Vow: Block Porn & Keep Your Word

A private, free porn blocker that meets a weak moment with your own vow. Nothing you browse ever leaves your device.

Vow blocks pornography and replaces the moment of temptation with the promise you made. Free forever. Private by design. WHAT HAPPENS AT THE DOOR When a tab heads to a blocked site, Vow steps in with a calm, full-page pause: the vow you wrote in your own words, a short line of scripture, prayer, or reflection, and two honest choices. "Keep my vow" is one click. "Continue anyway" only unlocks after a short countdown, because urges crest and pass. You stay free; the moment just stops being a reflex. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Nothing about your browsing ever leaves your device. No accounts, no analytics, no reports to anyone. Vow makes exactly two kinds of network requests: a weekly download of the public oisd NSFW blocklist, and an optional license check if you buy Vow Plus. The code is open source (MIT), and an automated audit in the repository fails if any other network call is ever introduced. GENTLE BY CONVICTION Vow counts the days you keep and the choices you make. A slip is met with one line: "Grace, not shame. Begin again." It never throws a lost number in your face. An optional one-line journal keeps your reflections, on your device only. EVERYTHING THAT PROTECTS YOU IS FREE The maintained blocklist with weekly updates, your own added sites, the interstitial, your vow, the streak and journal, and an optional PIN with a cooldown before protection can be paused. The free tier is the whole product, not a teaser. VOW PLUS ADDS DEPTH, NEVER PROTECTION A Catholic tradition pack (Examen prompts, Divine Mercy and Marian aspirations), interstitial themes, full journal history, and richer streak stats. Payment can never unlock a blocked site, for anyone, ever. HONEST LIMITS A Chrome extension can be removed from the extensions page, and Vow will not pretend otherwise. It is friction and conviction for someone keeping their own word, not surveillance for policing someone else. Allow Vow in incognito windows for full coverage; it reminds you during setup. PERMISSIONS, PLAINLY Navigation events: to notice when a tab heads to a blocked site. Storage: to keep your settings on your device. Alarms: to refresh the blocklist weekly. Active tab: so the "Add this site" button can see the address of the page you pressed it on. Source code, privacy policy, and feedback links are on this listing.
