Halt vs BlockerX
BlockerX is built mainly for phones. Halt is built for your Windows PC: it blocks adult sites in every browser and every app, locks SafeSearch, and makes turning the filter off wait for a cool-down you set in advance. Halt Pro is $29, paid once.
Why people choose Halt
Made for your PC
A real Windows app with a background service. The filter covers Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, private windows and every other app on the PC.
$29 once
No yearly renewal. On Apple's App Store, BlockerX lists $139.99 a year.
Stopped, not just reported
Turning Halt's filter off waits out the cool-down you picked in advance, and Halt can't be uninstalled while the filter is on. With Permanent, it takes 30 days or an unlock code from Halt support.
Private
Halt keeps no history of the sites you visit and sends no reports to anyone.
SafeSearch locked
Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo always show safe results. Strict also turns on YouTube's Restricted Mode and turns off private windows in Chrome and Edge.
A focus blocker too
The same app blocks the sites, apps and games you waste time on, for set focus sessions or on a schedule.
