The Blindfold app's Home tab showing 24,995 items blocked this month, with tallies for 14.4K ads blocked, 9.2K trackers stopped, 1.4K annoyances hidden, 1.17 GB bandwidth saved, and 19.3K blocked in other apps.
BLOCK

Ads, trackers, and annoyances

Three curated lists (ad networks, privacy trackers, and page clutter like cookie walls and sticky overlays) run natively in Safari with no page-load overhead.

EVERYWHERE

Blindfold Everywhere is awaiting App Store approval

Everywhere works in the submitted 1.0.2 build using Apple's URL Filter API. That build is still under App Store review and is not yet the public release.

LEARN

Learns new ads on-device

When something slips through, Apple's on-device model studies it after the page loads and writes a precise hiding rule.

REJECT

Answers cookie pop-ups for you

When a consent pop-up shows up, Blindfold taps “reject” on your behalf, using the site's own consent tools where it recognizes them so the rejection actually sticks, and hiding the pop-up outright otherwise.

OPEN

Nothing hidden

Every filter list, every AI-written rule, and every custom rule you add is visible in the app. Toggle any list off, or edit and delete individual AI and custom rules yourself. No secret server-side backend.

DEFEND

Beats “turn off your ad blocker” walls

Blindfold quietly answers the scripts sites use to detect blockers, so you're not nagged to switch it off to read.

FRESH

Always up to date

Filter lists refresh over the air, daily, with no App Store update and no waiting for the next release.

See what it stops

A dashboard that shows its work

Watch ads blocked, trackers stopped, annoyances hidden, and bandwidth saved add up, then open any list to see exactly which rules are doing it.

A side-by-side comparison of a news article without Blindfold, cluttered with a banner ad and a cookie consent pop-up, and the same page with Blindfold, clean with the ad and pop-up gone. A cookie consent pop-up on a news site with Blindfold automatically tapping ‘Reject all’ for the user, labeled ‘Rejected for you, automatically.’ Blindfold's Protection tab listing the Ads, Privacy, and Annoyances block lists with 219,026 total rules, the Blindfold Everywhere system-wide toggle, and AI-discovered rules, all updated over the air. Blindfold's Intelligence tab showing on-device AI analysis of pages visited, with a suggested rule to hide a repeated ad element and buttons to accept or dismiss it. A woman relaxing on a couch in the evening, reading on her iPhone with the Blindfold app open showing her monthly blocking stats. Blindfold's Settings tab showing a lifetime membership with Family Sharing, and a Feeds section with a ‘Block promoted posts’ toggle that hides sponsored posts in apps like Reddit and YouTube.
The difference

Other blockers hide how they work. Blindfold shows you everything.

Some popular blockers keep their rules on a server you can't see or change, so you're trusting a black box. Blindfold keeps Safari blocking and the on-device AI entirely on your iPhone, and every filter list, AI-written rule, and custom rule is visible, editable, and deletable. System-wide blocking runs on private information retrieval: Blindfold operates the server, and the cryptography means it cannot learn which address your device asked about. It's yours.

  • Every AI-written and custom rule is visible and editable in the app
  • The AI runs on-device, never on a server
  • A one-time purchase option, not rent-forever
