An iOS app for men who want to quit porn.
The part
that takes back
the driver’s seat.
Prefront is a quiet tool for quitting porn for good. A map of what your brain is doing, a two-minute evening check-in, a brake for the moment it gets loud, and locks that hold when you don’t. Nothing leaves your phone.
Private testing on TestFlight. App Store next.
The map
Four stages. You always know where you are.
Quitting isn’t one long day one. The brain repairs itself in stages, each with its own weather. Prefront shows the stage you’re in, what is normal there and what will be hard, so a flat week in stage two reads as repair, not failure.
- 1–14Storm
Power cut. Waves of 10 to 20 minutes. Survive them, nothing else.
- 15–45Rewiring
Quiet and grey. The habit’s molecular memory breaks down behind the walls.
- 46–90Power on
Breaker back on. Clear mornings. Learn to run on clean power.
- 90+Sovereign
The crew has left. It’s just your home.
What’s in it
Six tools.
No feed, no badges, no noise.
Evening check-in
Two minutes. Mood, pull, what happened. Missed a night? Nothing moves back.
30-minute brake
A timer, breathing, three minutes on what the urge actually is. The wave passes.
Content filter
System-wide, in every browser and app. Blocks porn, forces safe search. You pick how strict.
Shield
An on-device check you start yourself when a moment is risky. Red indicator on, no image ever stored.
Accountability lock
Turn the filter off and the apps you chose stay locked until it’s back on, or a partner enters their PIN.
Academy
What’s happening in your brain, week by week. The science in plain words, without the bro noise.
Toolkit
Most useful in stages one to three. From stage four it steps back; the brake stays in your pocket.
Academy
Restoring the house. Five stages: what is happening, what is normal, what will be hard.
Nothing leaves your phone
Built so we can’t see your data.
- No account, no server, no analytics. Your streak, notes and settings live on your iPhone and nowhere else.
- Screen Time, Apple’s way. The app only ever gets anonymous tokens for the apps you pick. It never learns what you have installed.
- Shield keeps nothing. Frames are checked on-device one at a time and discarded. Nothing is stored or sent.
Where it stands
Private testing now.
App Store next.
Prefront is built by two people, one of whom has five years of his own recovery behind him. If you want in before the App Store, say hello.
