Escape for Mac — a porn blocker for your computer

Escape now runs on your Mac, not just your iPhone. It blocks adult sites in Safari on your computer, free, with the same list it uses on your phone. If you already have Escape on iPhone, your Mac is covered on the same subscription, with no second purchase and no account. Here is what it does on a Mac.

The blocker, on your Mac

Escape blocks the same 11,868 known adult sites in Safari on your Mac that it blocks on your iPhone. The Safari blocker is free on the Mac, the same as it is on the phone. You install it, turn it on in Safari, and the list is working.

One subscription, all your devices

If you go premium, that one subscription covers your iPhone, your iPad, and your Mac through Apple's universal purchase. There is no second purchase for the Mac, and there is still no account anywhere. For the current price, see the App Store listing.

Your blocked sites follow you

The custom sites you block on your iPhone sync to your Mac over iCloud, so you set your blocklist once and it shows up on both. This happens through your own iCloud account, not ours. There is no Escape account, no sign-in, and nothing of yours sitting on a server of ours.

Private, the same as on your phone

The privacy line holds on the Mac. No account, no server, and your data stays on your Mac. The same promise that is true on the iPhone is true on the computer. Nothing about you leaves the device.

It feels like a Mac app

Escape lives in your menu bar, launches at login so it is already on before you start your day, and behaves like a native Mac app rather than a phone app stretched to a bigger screen. It stays out of the way until you need it.

One honest thing about the Mac

A Safari content blocker on a Mac, ours included, can be reloaded past with Safari's "Reload Without Content Blockers" option. That is true of every Safari blocker. The fix on a Mac is Apple's own Screen Time filter, which the reload trick cannot skip, and Escape gives you one-tap guidance to turn it on. The full walkthrough is in the Mac bypass-resistance guide.

Escape is a porn blocker that works in every browser, a 90-second urge ritual, practice games that retrain how you meet an urge, and 27 short courses on identity and the long arc of recovery. No account, no personal tracking.
