macOS · unbypassable by design
The porn blocker you can't sweet-talk.
Every other blocker has an off switch you'll find at 1 a.m. Wolf doesn't. Blocking a site takes one second. Getting past it takes a 48-hour cooldown, or a password only your accountability partner holds.
$ wolf add pornhub.com blocked (effective immediately): pornhub.com $ wolf remove pornhub.com removal queued. pornhub.com stays blocked until Jul 23, 21:14. $ wolf remove pornhub.com --now error: instant removal needs your partner's passphrase.
You don't relapse because the blocker is weak. You relapse because it lets you turn it off, and at 1 a.m. you will always find a reason.
Password you set? You know it. Timer you chose? You can end it. Uninstall? Two clicks. Soft blockers are built to be undone, so they always are. Wolf flips the physics: trivial to commit, genuinely hard to walk back.
Easy in. Hard out. Self-healing in between.
Blocking is instant. Unblocking is a decision you can't rush.
Add a site and it's dead in one second. Change your mind and removal sits behind a 48-hour cooldown, so the craving passes long before the timer does. Need it gone now? That takes a passphrase your accountability partner sets and you never see.
- addInstant. No friction on doing the right thing.
- remove48-hour cooldown. The urge expires first.
- --nowPartner passphrase. A second person, not a second thought.
Tamper with it and it puts itself back within seconds.
A root-level guardian re-applies the block on a loop and marks its own files immutable. Edit the hosts file, kill the process, delete the app: it heals and restarts. There's no quiet way to switch it off in a weak moment.
It holds through your VPN, DoH, and Private Relay.
An on-device content filter reads each connection's real destination before it leaves your Mac, so encrypted DNS, iCloud Private Relay, and a full-tunnel VPN can't route around it. This is the layer the cheap blockers don't have.
- ✓Works with ExpressVPN and any VPN running.
- ✓Immune to DNS-over-HTTPS in Chrome and Firefox.
- ✓Immune to iCloud Private Relay.
- ✓Covers every app, not just one browser.
You're never truly trapped. But bailing costs you.
A break-glass command always works, so a malfunction can never brick your Mac. It's deliberately scorched-earth: it wipes your whole setup and writes a permanent, tamper-proof record. You can leave. You just can't leave quietly.
- panicAlways works. Safety before everything.
- wipesThe whole config, so it's never a shortcut.
- logsA record your partner can see. No secret exits.
We won't tell you it's impossible to beat.
Every tool that swears it's "100% unbypassable" is lying to you, and you already know it. On a Mac where you have the admin password, a determined person can eventually get around anything. Here's the real deal.
What Wolf can't do
- Stop someone who wipes the Mac or boots into Recovery.
- Block a different device: your phone, a work laptop.
- Read your mind. It blocks sites you name, not everything.
What Wolf actually does
- Makes bypass slow, effortful, and visible, so the impulse loses.
- Removes the easy off switch every other blocker leaves you.
- Puts a real person, not just software, between you and relapse.

The questions you're actually asking.
Can't I just bypass it if I really want to?
Eventually, if you're determined enough, yes, and we say so plainly above. The point isn't a perfect cage. It's to make bypass so slow and so visible that the craving passes before you can pull it off. That gap is where recovery happens.
Does it really work with my VPN on?
Yes. The on-device filter reads each connection's true destination before it ever reaches the tunnel, so ExpressVPN or any other VPN, DNS-over-HTTPS, and iCloud Private Relay can't route around it. We built this layer specifically because it's how people slip past weaker blockers.
Is my browsing tracked or sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs on your Mac. Wolf checks connections against your own blocklist locally and phones nothing home. Your accountability partner sees only the events you'd expect (a removal request, a break-glass), never your history.
What if I lose the partner passphrase?
You wait out the 48-hour cooldown, which removes any site without a passphrase, or you use the break-glass command. Break-glass always works so you can never be locked out of your own machine. It just wipes the setup and leaves a record, so it's a real exit, not a loophole.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
You install it once and manage sites from a small menu-bar app or a one-line command. Setting the partner passphrase is the one step best done by the other person. If you can install a Mac app, you can run Wolf.
Can I get a refund?
If Wolf doesn't hold up its end within 30 days, email us and we'll refund you. We'd rather lose the sale than pretend it fit when it didn't.
The best time to set the trap is when you're strong.
Not at 1 a.m. Right now, while the decision is easy and the resolve is real.
