Put your best self in control.
Plucky is an Internet filter designed to help you stick to your long-term goals rather than indulge in short-term Internet temptations. Fully customizable but hard to get around, it hands you the controls--while also keeping you from bailing on your commitments.
The name Plucky is derived from the word "Pluck" which means, "courage and determination in the face of adversity," and it is also an allusion to the pluck-eye principle.
Plucky is available on Windows. macOS, Linux, and Android.
HOW IT WORKS
IMAGE BLOCKING
In default mode, Plucky blocks all images and videos on all sites. Plucky gives you the Internet without the images.
DELAY
You can allow images on sites that are safe for you. But there's a safeguard: the first time you allow any site, there is a delay you chose ahead of time (for example, 5 minutes or 5 hours). And Plucky can't be uninstalled until after the delay.
SELF CONTROL
Plucky’s features combine to put your best self in charge. They let you make your Internet choices in moments of strength rather than weakness.
WHY IT WORKS
You have two selves at war within you: the disciplined self and the impulsive self. Plucky hands the controls to the disciplined self by using a waiting period. Research shows that a waiting period helps people resist addictive substances and behaviors by making them temporarily unavailable. The delay makes you choose what you want in the long run, rather than what you want right now.
TAKE COURAGE. TAKE CONTROL. GET PLUCKY.

OUR MISSION
Let's build together!
Our mission is to provide a software solution to Internet pornography. We focus on filling the gaps we see in available options: type of filter (self-control versus parental control or accountability), platforms (we started on Linux), affordability (sliding-scale pricing), and toughness (we love techies). We do this because we follow Jesus, who cares about the one lost sheep. And because we are that sheep.

SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
Plucky is a do-it-yourself filter for those who are ready to change and just need the tools. It will take some time to configure Plucky to fit your goals and your patterns of temptation. While the learning curve is steep, there is a growing community that can help you get started. (If you don’t hate it at first, we'll consider that a win.)

SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
Plucky is a do-it-yourself filter. Since only you know your patterns of temptation, it will take some time to configure it. Expect a steep learning curve. (If you don’t hate it at first, consider that a win.) Plucky works best for those who are highly motivated to change and just need the tools.
