A private 30-second mirror before porn opens in Safari. Interrupt the impulse, look yourself in the eye, and take back control of your relationship with porn.
For Safari on iPhone.
Before accessing porn, get a few moments to yourself to reflect and act consciously.
Reflect on where you wanted to take your relationship with porn.
Make a decision from the driver’s seat.
Step away or continue consciously.
Repeat the same response in the same situation, and it can become automatic. For porn habits, stress, boredom or being alone can become the cue to open a site before you’ve really decided to.

Seeing yourself can bring your own standards to mind. The mirror is a prompt to check whether watching now fits the direction you chose for your relationship with porn.

App-opening research found that a short delay and an option to stop reduced consumption. Our pause puts that moment to reconsider before porn, rather than after it.
Grüning et al. · PNAS · 2023
These studies inform the design. They do not establish that this app’s combined 30-second intervention reduces porn use. The app-opening study tested one sec, not this app or porn use. Applying these ideas to porn habits is our design rationale, not a result measured in those studies.

You don’t need an app to make the decision for you. You need room to make it yourself.
This isn’t a blocker. It’s a pause to check what you want, then act on it. If your goal is less porn, choosing to watch today doesn’t erase the choices you made yesterday.
Watch your patterns change over time without resetting your progress to zero. Your history shows more than a run of perfect days.
Quit, cut back, or stop doing it on autopilot. Your values set the direction. Not someone else’s rules.
One decision doesn’t undo the last. Keep making the call, then look back at your recorded choices to see the bigger picture.
Less autopilot. More decisions you meant to make. A pattern you can see over time.
No camera recording. No uploads.
Your recorded choices stay on your phone.
Yes. After the pause, you can step away or continue. The decision stays yours.
No. You might want to quit, watch less often, or simply stop doing it on autopilot. You set the direction.
This version is for Safari on iPhone. You’ll enable the extension during setup. It doesn’t cover every website or other browsers.
No. The mirror is a live camera view, not a recording. Camera images aren’t saved or uploaded. Your recorded decisions stay on your phone.
There’s no streak to lose or progress to erase. The point is to notice the pattern and make the decision consciously, not to pass a test.
Safari on iPhone. You stay in control.
