LockedWeb vs BlockerX

BlockerX is a habit-change toolkit: an adult-content switch plus gambling, gaming, and social-media blocking, with streaks, community, courses, and a buddy who hears about it if the app comes off. LockedWeb is narrower on purpose: explicit content stays blocked on every device you protect, and loosening takes 72 hours. A toolkit and a wall. Here's the fair comparison.

Where the friction comes from.

HOW BLOCKERX WORKS Many switches, one buddy
01Install the app or extension on each device.
02Toggle what to block: adult content, plus gambling, gaming, or social media if you choose.
03Your buddy is notified if the app is uninstalled; premium adds an access code on Android.
04Streaks, community, and courses keep you engaged.

The friction is social: a buddy, a streak, a community watching you try. For a lot of people, that works.

HOW LOCKEDWEB WORKS One wall, everywhere
01Your device's DNS routes through our filter: system-wide, in the plumbing, on each app you install us on.
02Explicit content fails to load in every browser and app, incognito included.
03Nobody is notified about your browsing. There are no streaks to lose.
04Loosening anything takes 72 hours and a one-time code, identical on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac.

The friction is time. Quiet by design: no audience, no engagement loop.

Side by side.
