Pivot: Intentional Browsing

Pivot creates a private, compassionate pause before a difficult online choice. Adult-site and adult-generative-AI protection start enabled, and you can add personal trigger sites at any time. When Pivot catches a matching navigation, it offers spiritual or mental grounding while preserving your final choice. Continuing requires a short pause and a private rationale. Optional reflections can be stored in a local journal. FEATURES - Adult and adult-AI hostname filters - Personal custom-site rules - Grounding prompts and step-away choices - Optional encrypted local journal - Independent controls for built-in categories and custom sites - A safe installation test that never opens a real destination PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No Pivot account - No behavioral analytics or advertising - No page-content collection - No complete browsing URLs stored - Filtering and interception happen on your device Private Browsing protection requires a separate permission controlled by Safari. Pivot's setup screen shows the exact steps. Safari also requires All Websites access so Pivot can compare top-level navigation hostnames with your local rules. Pivot is a self-help tool, not medical care or tamper-proof parental control. It keeps your final choice in your hands.
