LeadMeNot vs BlockerX
BlockerX is a porn blocker: an adult content filter, blocked sites and apps, and an accountability partner who gets daily browsing reports. LeadMeNot blocks too, tells your partner when a rule is broken, and uses Safe Wall so a weak moment can't undo it.
Choose LeadMeNot if you want your partner told when a rule is broken, not only in a daily report, and your evening reflections shared with them so they see how you're doing.
Where BlockerX fits better: If you want a Panic Switch that cuts off all internet access in a hard moment, BlockerX has one.
