Escape, by the facts.

Escape is a privacy-first porn and adult-content blocker, and recovery app, for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It blocks porn in Safari for free, and it is built so there is no account, no server, and nothing collected, which means there is nothing about you to leak.

Boilerplate (copy-paste)

Escape is an independent, privacy-first porn blocker and recovery app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It blocks adult sites in Safari for free, extends blocking to every browser, and adds a 90-second urge ritual, practice games, and 27 short recovery courses. Unlike most apps in the category, Escape requires no account and collects no user data. Its App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. It was built solo by its founder, who goes by Sam.

Escape by the numbers

The privacy facts (the difference)

Most recovery apps hold your data on a server, or monitor your screen and report it to a partner. Escape is built the opposite way, and every claim here is verifiable on the App Store listing or by inspecting the app's network traffic:

What Escape does

Free Safari blocking, Deep Block that extends filtering to every browser, app blocking for the apps that pull you in, a 90-second urge ritual, panic-button games for the moment of craving, a private on-device streak and journal, and 27 courses on identity and the long arc of recovery. There is an optional held-PIN feature so a trusted person can stand at the one moment that matters, with no monitoring the rest of the time.

Who makes it

Escape is independent and built by one person, its founder, who goes by Sam and keeps the same privacy he designs for. He built and ships it solo, full-time, and has been at it for about a year. More in his own words on the about page.

Quotable

"The most private data is the kind that was never collected. A company cannot leak what it does not have."

"Recovery is the one thing that should stay between you and whoever you choose to tell. So Escape is built to know nothing about you."
