Press the button to go dark
one pressAdult sites, every browser, and the apps you picked, shut together. The Action Button is the fastest control on the phone, which is the point: the moment it is for is short.
Where it interrupts
scroll it- TriggerSomething sets it off.
- CravingThe urge starts building.
- Can't search
- Can't watch
- No regret.
The design follows research on problematic pornography use, which puts the failure at the point of access rather than at the point of wanting. GoDark acts there, so the urge can stay and the route is gone.
What it is
One press of the iPhone's Action Button and adult sites, every browser, and the apps you picked all shut at once. You choose what goes dark long before you need it, so the decision is already made when the urge arrives. No partner, no accountability buddy, nobody watching: you are locking your own phone.
- One press of the Action Button, the fastest control on the phone.
- You pick what goes dark in advance: the sites, the browsers, and the apps.
- Built on Apple's Screen Time, so the block sits below the apps rather than beside them.
- Nobody is supervising you, which is the whole reason people install it.
- No account and no server, so nothing about you can leave the phone.
Talking points
for creators- Nobody is watching you. It is a lock you put on your own phone and then live with.
- One press, on the button already under your thumb. The moment it is for is short.
- Apple hands the app an anonymous token, so GoDark could not tell you what you blocked.
- There is no account and no server. The app cannot phone home because it has no way to.
- The Action Button is not required: every other iPhone uses Control Centre.
