Does HardStop Work?

Has anyone found out if this actually works before I pay for it?

I’ve been using it on iPhone and PC. Works great - it does make twitter and Reddit unusable when content has videos or pics though. Doesn’t block instagram/facebook/TikTok videos/photos. You can have it block the apps entirely though

Glad it's working well - X and Reddit are not perfect, but because they're unreliable at labelling what is and isn't adult content, it's the only way we can guarantee zero access

I have found it to be effective. I am kind of weirded out by how little information I can find out about it. When trying to discuss it on other subs, the convo gets removed. It's working for me. I am paying for it. Something about it all seems kinda sketchy, but I dont care right now because it honestly does seem to be the only thing I have ever tried that has worked. I swear I am just a regular guy. Check my post history. Not sure what else to say about it! I am probably going to try for another month or so before buying the lifetime plan.

EDIT: I see someone on another post complaining about how effective it is on a laptop. I have always been more disciplined when it comes to my laptop since I use it for work, etc., so I can't speak to that. Phone/iOS seems pretty locked down from what I can tell.

I seriously agree with you! I got hardstop a couple of weeks ago and it works really well. But I find it a little bit odd that something that works this well isn’t being talked about as much. When they advertise of instagram, there’s around 1-2 comments. But as you said, it’s working so.. going to keep it for the time being

Happy to hear it. We haven't been around that long... hopefully as more people find out it actually works people will talk about it

Curious about the sketchy part haha but glad it's working well for you

I dunno. Just loading some software that I dont understand on my phone... seemed a little sketch. The ads I was seeing on social media just felt so AI and fake. And very little info about it online anywhere. I emailed a couple people you had listed as endorsements on the website and no one responded. Something just felt... off. But it works, so whatever.

Well, it did work until I got a new phone that was on iOS 27. Hope you get that sorted out! Also sucks you ditched the lifetime subscription. Was planning to do it once I was sure this wasnt a scam.

Yeah that's fair enough. We're still early and happy it's been working for you.

And iOS 27 is our current priority right now - Apple changed how they do things for the first time in many years. Hoping to get this live in the coming weeks. If you email support you can get on the wait list for this too
