Plucky Filter is a self-control internet filter. You set your own boundaries, and it enforces them so long-term goals win over short-term temptation.^1 In classic mode it blocks images and videos across the web. You can allow sites you trust, but the first allow — and any uninstall — waits through a delay you chose while clear-headed.^1 Fine-grain rules can block Google Images without blocking Search. You can also schedule access, black out the internet, vary the delay by time of day, and let someone you trust see which sites you have allowed.^2
Jon Wilkes of Single Eye Software built Plucky and has worked on it full-time since 2015.^3 The name alludes to the pluck-eye principle in Matthew 5:27-30. Why It Works grounds the delay in Romans 7–8 and says a filter cannot save anyone, but Jesus can.^4 Jon is a founding member of Builders, Christian companies that collaborate against pornography rather than compete.^5
Plucky runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android — not iOS.^1 It is subscription-based on a sliding scale, free where regular USD payments are unrealistic, and used in over 100 countries.^1 Focus on the Family and Pure Desire Ministries are among those that list it.^1
