Reclaim

Open-Source Accountability Infrastructure for Compulsive Adult Content Consumption

Executive Summary

Reclaim is a privacy-first, open-source accountability platform designed for individuals who voluntarily seek to regulate compulsive adult content consumption that interferes with productivity, relationships, or mental well-being.

Unlike commercial subscription-based tools that rely on invasive monitoring, Reclaim prioritizes autonomy, transparency, and privacy while remaining fully self-hostable.

Problem Statement

Some individuals experience loss of control, reduced productivity, and behavioral interference due to compulsive adult content consumption.

Existing tools in this space are:

• Subscription-based

• Privacy-invasive

• Closed-source

• Lacking self-hosting capabilities

There is currently no widely adopted open-source infrastructure that supports voluntary, privacy-respecting behavioral accountability in this domain.

Core Principles

• Voluntary Participation – Users explicitly enable features.

• Privacy First – No browsing history tracking, no screenshots, no spying.

• Transparency – Fully open-source repository.

• Behavioral Science-Oriented – Focus on accountability and interruption, not moral policing.
