- Pick your Hard Mode: 90 days
- Hard Mode is on
- The urge passes
It’s 1 a.m. The blocker is on. You know how to delete it.
- The urge hits. The blocker is on.
- Press and hold. Delete app. Done.
- Nobody knows. Nothing happens. Back to day 0.
Hard Mode takes that button away, for as long as you choose.
How Hard Mode works
You decide once, on a calm day. Hard Mode holds you to it on the nights that aren’t.
Hard Mode until
Feb 2
Pick 30, 90 or 365 days
You choose how long Hard Mode lasts when you set Clearing up. It starts when your subscription does, and later you can only make it longer.
Can’t delete it on impulse
On iPhone and iPad, iOS blocks deleting Clearing, and its protection can only be added to, not loosened. On iOS 26.4 or later, a Screen Time code we keep also stops anyone switching off Clearing’s access. On a Mac, removing Clearing takes a password we keep until Hard Mode ends.
Leaving early takes 48 hours
Need out before the date? Ask to leave Hard Mode early. It ends after a 48-hour cool-down, long after the urge has passed.
Nobody is trapped
When the period ends, Hard Mode ends on every device, whether or not you still subscribe. If your subscription ends first, Hard Mode ends early. Blocking stays on until you switch it off.
Honest limits: below iOS 26.4, the device owner can remove Clearing’s Screen Time access in Settings with the device passcode, and Clearing then shows that protection is off. On iOS 26.4 or later you can lock that setting with a code Clearing keeps for you, but Apple may offer to recover it through your Apple Account, and erasing a device removes everything. Hard Mode stops the impulse; it isn’t a prison.
Hard Mode on every screen.
A blocker on your phone doesn’t stop your laptop. Clearing runs on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, and one subscription covers all of them.
iPhone
Screen Time shields, the adult filter and the DNS filter. Can’t be deleted in Hard Mode, and on iOS 26.4 or later a Screen Time code we keep locks Clearing’s access.
iPad
The same protection and the same Hard Mode as your iPhone.
Mac
Hard Mode on your Mac too: removing Clearing takes a password we keep until Hard Mode ends.
One app, one subscription for all three. Each device shows whether it’s protected, so you know when one isn’t.
Clearing vs. the alternatives
Other blockers tell someone after you delete them. Clearing stops the delete. No ally. No screenshots. Nobody reading your history. Just a Hard Mode you set when you were calm.

No reviews yet. Here’s who’s behind it.
We built Clearing because every blocker we tried had the same weak spot: you could delete it at the exact moment you wanted to. So we built one you can’t, for as long as you choose.

Questions
Can I really not delete Clearing in Hard Mode?
Not on impulse. In Hard Mode, iOS blocks deleting Clearing, and its protection can only be added to. On iOS 26.4 or later you can also lock Clearing’s Screen Time access with a code we keep until Hard Mode ends. But we won’t pretend it’s impossible: below iOS 26.4 the device owner can remove Clearing’s Screen Time access in Settings with the device passcode, Apple may offer to recover a Screen Time code through your Apple Account, and erasing the device removes everything. Clearing shows you when protection is off. On a Mac, removing Clearing takes the password we keep until Hard Mode ends, or erasing the Mac.
What is the Screen Time code on iPhone and iPad?
iOS and iPadOS 26.4 added Settings › Screen Time › Lock Screen Time Settings. With it on, Clearing’s Screen Time access can’t be switched off and the app can’t be deleted without a code. Clearing plays the friend who holds it: during setup it shows you a random 4-digit code once, you enter it there and skip the Apple Account recovery step if offered, and we keep it on our server. You get it back when Hard Mode ends, 48 hours after you ask to leave early, or when your subscription ends.
How is Clearing different from other blockers?
Other blockers tell someone after you delete them. Clearing stops the delete. No ally, no screenshots, nobody reading your history: just a Hard Mode you set when you were calm. And Hard Mode covers your Mac too: removing Clearing takes a password we keep until Hard Mode ends.
What if I need to leave Hard Mode early?
Ask to leave early in the app. Hard Mode ends after a 48-hour cool-down. Urges pass in minutes; 48 hours is long enough that you only leave when you really mean it. Afterwards you can turn Hard Mode on again.
What happens when my subscription ends?
Hard Mode ends early. iOS lets you delete the app again, Clearing’s settings can be changed freely, your Mac can fetch the password to remove its profile and your iPhone or iPad gets its Screen Time code. Blocking stays on until you switch it off. Nobody is ever trapped.
How does the Hard Mode profile on the Mac work?
You install a profile in System Settings. It turns on Clearing’s filter and can only be removed with a password that we create and keep on our server, or by erasing the Mac. Your Mac gets the password when Hard Mode ends, 48 hours after you ask to leave early, or when your subscription ends. For the profile, our server stores the password and the date Hard Mode ends, never sells or shares them, and deletes them with your account. You see exactly what the profile does before you install it.
What does it cost?
$34.99 a year or $7.99 a week, with no free trial. One subscription covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac on the same Apple ID. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings; Apple handles billing and refunds.
What does Clearing see?
Whether protection is on, and for blocked sites the category, the domain and the minute. Never full URLs, page content, screenshots or messages. Nobody else gets reports.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later, and Macs with macOS 15 or later. There is no Windows or Android version yet.
Who is Clearing not for?
Anyone under 18. And anyone who needs more than a blocker right now: if you’re struggling, talk to a doctor, a therapist or a helpline too.
Hard Mode for porn.
The porn blocker you can’t delete at 1 a.m. For iPhone, iPad and Mac.
