This page is intended to provide a brief introduction to Plucky. It does not describe Plucky in detail so that this page can be translated into many languages in a reasonable amount of time, and so that the translations do not all need to be updated when Plucky gains some new feature.

What is Plucky?

Plucky is an Internet filter most often used to enhance self-control when using the Internet and less often used as a parental control tool to restrict what children have access to on the Internet. It is highly configurable, and the classic configuration is rather extreme: it blocks all images, audio, and video from all web pages that have not been explicitly exempted by the end-user.

Plucky can be used on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

How to use the full Plucky manual.

The Plucky manual describes Plucky in more detail. It is available in English only, but you can use an automated translation service such as Google Translate to read it in another language.

How is Plucky spelled?

Plucky was originally named and spelled Pluckeye after the principle described by Jesus in Matthew 5:29. However, it has always been pronounced as plucky by the author because he had a friend named Sunneye whose name was pronounced Sunny and because he liked the playful pun. In English pluck means courage as well as to take out. You may seen references to Pluckeye (oldest), Pluck (middle), or Plucky, but they all mean the same thing.
