EXPEDITE:

You can have someone else instantly approve a site for you. This bypasses the waiting period / delay.

VARIABLE DELAY:

You can set different delays at different times.

ACCOUNTABILITY:

An accountability partner can view which sites you have allowed.

SCHEDULED BLOCKING / ALLOWING:

You can schedule certain sites to be allowed or blocked only at certain hours. You can also schedule a blackout, where the entire Internet is blocked for certain hours.

FINE-GRAIN FILTERING:

Plucky can block parts of something without blocking all of it. For example, blocking part of Youtube while allowing your classes, and blocking Google images without blocking Google search.

LOCKDOWN:

Plucky won't uninstall until after the waiting period.
