Extra help
90 Days is a website, so it cannot block other sites on your phone. Your phone can, in a few minutes. Here is how.
An urge mostly wins because the next thing is one tap away. A blocker puts a waiting step between you and it. Long enough for the check-in here to do its work.
Be honest with yourself about one thing: every blocker can be switched off. That is not a flaw, it is the point. You are not building a cage. You are building distance.
Start here. It costs nothing and takes about two minutes.
Optional, and stronger: ask someone you trust to set the Screen Time passcode. Then switching the filter off takes asking a person, not a tap. Turn SafeSearch on in the Google app too, if you use Google.
Optional, and stronger: ask someone you trust to set the Play Store PIN, so unblocking takes asking a person, not a tap.
The built-in filter is broad. A blocker app goes further. These are the ones people in this situation most often stick with. 90 Days is not paid by any of them.
iPhone, iPad and Android
Sends a screen report to a friend you choose. The strongest pick if you want someone in your corner, not just a filter.
iPhone and Android
Blocks adult sites and apps, with a free version that covers the basics.
iPhone, Android and computer browsers
Simple blocklists and schedules. Free to start, easy to set up in an afternoon.
Windows and Mac
For the computer. You lock the block in place for a time you choose, and it stays locked.
Free versions cover the basics. The fuller features cost money. That is their business, not a requirement. Only ever need one.
No blocker is perfect. A determined person finds a way around anything, and on a hard night, you are that determined person. So the goal is not perfection. It is distance, and it works quietly in the background while you do the real work in here.
When an urge still arrives with the blocker on, that is the check-in's job, not the blocker's.
