Blocky makes Safari quiet, fast, and private. Ads gone, trackers stopped, cookie banners dismissed โ€” set it up once and forget it's there. And Blocky never lies to you: the app checks your real protection status with iOS and only shows green when blocking is verified on. No fake green lights. WHAT BLOCKY BLOCKS โ€ข Ads โ€” banners, popups, video pre-rolls served by ad networks โ€ข Trackers โ€” analytics scripts and pixels that follow you around the web โ€ข Annoyances โ€” cookie-consent banners and notification prompts โ€ข Adult sites โ€” optional filter for safe browsing on any device you share WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT โ€ข Pages load faster and use less data โ€ข Battery lasts longer without heavy ad scripts โ€ข A whitelist you control โ€” support the sites you love with one tap โ€ข Filter lists update weekly, automatically PRIVATE BY DESIGN Blocking happens entirely on your device, using Apple's own Safari content blocker technology. Blocky cannot see, log, or transmit your browsing. We collect no data. There is no "acceptable ads" program โ€” you are the customer, not the product. AN HONEST NOTE Instagram and YouTube serve ads from their own servers โ€” no App Store app can block those, and we won't pretend otherwise. Blocky blocks ads and trackers in Safari, with system-wide DNS filtering coming next. PRICING Blocky Premium is a subscription (monthly or yearly, 7-day free trial with the yearly plan) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
