Break Free from Pornography. Privately.
An AI companion for Christians fighting lust—no accountability partner required, no shame, no judgment.
Most blockers are walls. Custos is a Shield.
The late nights. The shame spiral. The promises you've broken to yourself and to God.
You've tried willpower. You've tried accountability apps that felt like surveillance. You've tried blockers you just disabled. You've prayed for deliverance that hasn't come the way you expected.
You're exhausted. And you're wondering if freedom is even possible.
It is. But not through another wall. Through a different approach entirely.
The AI runs locally on YOUR device. Zero latency. Absolute privacy.
Your images never leave your device. Your struggle stays between you and God. No reports sent to anyone. No judgment from a human monitor.
When temptation strikes, Custos doesn't just block—it pauses you. That pause creates space for the Holy Spirit to work, for you to choose differently.
The Guardian doesn't shame you. It asks questions that break the trance and remind you who you are. The way out isn't clicking past a warning—it's genuine reflection.
Traditional blockers treat symptoms, not causes. They're walls you eventually learn to climb.
Custos is different. When the AI detects you're heading somewhere harmful, it doesn't just block the screen. It speaks to you. It asks why. It creates a moment of reflection.
This matters because lasting freedom doesn't come from restrictions—it comes from transformation. From choosing differently in the moment of temptation, not having the choice made for you.
“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:13
Custos creates that way out. Not a wall. A door.
Custos stands guard quietly in the background. When it recognizes temptation, it steps in—but all detection happens locally on your device using AI. Nothing is ever recorded or uploaded.
When harmful content is detected, a full-screen overlay appears—creating space between impulse and action. You can exit anytime via the Exit button, Escape key, or by asking the Guardian.
A GPT-4o powered AI engages you with grace, not condemnation. It asks meaningful questions: What are you really looking for? What need are you trying to fill? The way out is through honest reflection—breaking the autopilot that addiction relies on.
When temptation strikes, the Guardian appears—not to shame, but to offer a moment of reflection.
A moment to pause and reflect.
I see you.
Before you scroll past this—I want you to know something. You didn't come here because you're weak. You came here because something inside you is hurting, and this felt like the quickest way to make it stop.
Maybe it's loneliness. Maybe exhaustion. Maybe you feel invisible, or unappreciated, or like you're carrying a weight no one else sees.
I'm not here to block you or lecture you. I'm here because you asked me to be—because part of you wants something different.
So tell me: what's really going on right now?

Every conversation is unique. The Guardian adapts to you—asking different questions, meeting you where you are, never repeating the same script.
Custos currently protects your computer—Windows and macOS. Mobile protection is on our roadmap.
For now, we recommend using Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing (Android) settings alongside Custos for more complete protection.
