The filter that knows what haram means — and won't let you quietly switch it off.
Hesn blocks porn, gambling, dating apps and immodest content across your whole iPhone. If the filter is ever removed or weakened, the accountability partner you chose is told — that week, or that minute.

Why another one
Every tool you've reached for so far has the same hole in it.
- You've tried Screen Time, deleting apps, a free DNS filter. All of it comes undone the moment you want it to.
- Nothing is built for a Muslim household — the categories, the language, and above all who you trust to hold the data.
- The one thing that reliably works — someone knowing — has never had a tool behind it.
How it works
Three steps, about five minutes, once.
Install the profile
One tap sets up filtered DNS across your entire phone — every app, on Wi-Fi and cellular. No battery cost, no VPN slowdown.
Choose your strictness and your partner
Basic, Standard or Strict. Then invite one person — a spouse, a friend, a mentor — to a read-only weekly view. You pick who.
Get the report — and the alert
A calm weekly digest of what was blocked. And if the profile is removed or a setting weakened, your partner is told straight away.
What it blocks
Three levels. Standard is the default and what most people want. You can change level any time from your dashboard.
| Category | Basic | Standard | Strict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adult & pornographic sites | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Malware, phishing & scam sites | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Tinder | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Forced SafeSearch — Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, Yandex | – | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended adult & dangerous-content filter | – | ✓ | ✓ |
| 9GAG, Imgur | – | ✓ | ✓ |
| Discord, Reddit, Twitch, Snapchat | – | – | ✓ |
No filter is a perfect wall
On iPhone, a determined person can remove any configuration profile — Hesn included. We're not going to pretend otherwise.
That's exactly why Hesn's core isn't the wall. It's that the moment the wall comes down, someone you chose knows it did. Willpower plus an audience beats willpower alone.
Who holds this data
A Muslim company mishandling this data would deserve to fail. So the design assumes we can't be trusted, and removes the temptation.
- On-device where possible
- Any explicit-content detection we add runs on your phone. Verdicts leave; images never do.
- Minimal logging
- We keep what your partner's report needs and nothing we don't. No browsing history warehouse.
- A ruleset you can see
- Every category each level blocks is listed on this page and in our terms. No secret list, no silent additions.
- A team, not a data broker
- No ad network, no third-party trackers, nothing sold on. The only person who sees your activity is the partner you chose.
Bind your own hands
Hesn is for the person who wants to stop, and knows willpower alone hasn't been enough yet. Try it free for a week.
