Bramble: Website & App Blocker

Bramble helps you take back control of what reaches you online — by blocking it across your whole phone, building daily practices that change the pattern, and bringing trusted people alongside you.

HOW IT WORKS

Bramble combines broad, regularly updated blocklists that cover explicit websites with an AI model that runs on your iPhone to screen images as they load in Safari. Blocklists stop known sites before they open. The on-device model catches what lists can't, like an image on an otherwise ordinary page. Together they make the everyday internet a much safer place.

WHO IT'S FOR

Bramble is for men who want to stop viewing explicit content and haven't been able to do it on willpower alone. It works for anyone who wants stronger boundaries online, and it's built to be used alongside people who will encourage you.

PROTECTION ACROSS YOUR WHOLE PHONE

• Turn on a DNS-only Shield that blocks unwanted sites device-wide.
• Choose which apps stay available, pause, or remain blocked.
• Add protection inside Safari that screens individual images and pages as they load.
• Set a nightly window when the phone goes quiet.
• Use timed windows when you want intentional access instead of an endless feed.

PRACTICES THAT BUILD CHANGE

• Complete a short daily check-in.
• Use guided breathing and grounding tools when a hard moment hits.
• Reflect on patterns without shame.
• Follow a structured learning path and track the practices that help.

Completed breathing sessions can be saved to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes, so the practice shows up alongside the rest of your well-being data. Bramble writes those minutes and never reads any Health data.

PEOPLE IN YOUR CORNER

Join groups of other men working through the same struggle, where you root each other on and no one fights alone. Invite trusted people into your Circle. Share only the signals you choose, send end-to-end encrypted messages, and ask for encouragement when you need it. Your journal stays private.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Bramble's VPN configuration carries DNS requests only — not page contents, passwords, messages, or files. Decisions happen on-device. Protection learning events use SHA-256 domain hashes. When Safari needs help classifying an uncertain page or image, limited content is sent to a contracted classification provider for a verdict.

Bramble has no ads, does not sell data, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Bramble is free. It is a support tool, not a substitute for professional medical or mental-health care.
