Don’t just count the days.
Understand them.
A streak tells you how long. QuitIt tells you why — the trigger you keep hitting, the hour you’re most at risk, and the response that actually worked. All of it calculated on your phone.
Free trial, then a subscription. No ads, no trackers, and your data is never sold.
Why we built QuitIt
Blocking porn only handles the last five seconds. It does nothing about the boredom at 2pm, the night you slept badly, or the fact that nobody ever showed you what your own pattern looks like. QuitIt is built for that part — the moment before the decision, and the weeks of quiet data that explain it. It keeps that data on your phone, because a record of what you’re trying to stop is nobody else’s business.
Why this works when willpower didn’t
Ride the wave
An urge rises and falls. Escape gives you somewhere to put your attention — a soundscape, a slower breath — until the peak passes without you acting on it.
Name the pattern
Log the trigger and what you did about it. After a couple of weeks the app can tell you your main trigger, your riskiest hour, and which response actually held.
Buy yourself seconds
The content blocker uses Apple’s own Screen Time controls to put friction between you and the thing. It won’t fix the habit, but it buys the seconds you need to choose differently.
From the worst thirty seconds to the whole picture
Get through the moment
One tap opens a full-screen pause that asks you to stay for a single honest moment. A private live mirror shows you your own face, the screen lays out what the cycle quietly takes from you, and then it offers two truthful options rather than one dishonest one — thinking about it, or already slipped.
The mirror is never recorded and never leaves your phone.
Step out of the noise
Escape is the calmer half of the same moment. Pick a place — campfire, ocean, rain, forest — set the volume, and stay as long as you need. No timer counting down at you, no session to complete.
Make it harder to reach
Switch the content blocker on from the home screen and pick which categories to restrict. It runs on Apple’s own Screen Time controls, so it works at the system level rather than inside a browser you could just swap out.
A blocker won’t fix the habit on its own. What it buys you is the few seconds between the impulse and the action — which is exactly where everything else in the app operates.
People who get it
Optional, and kept well away from your private logs. Post a milestone, ask the question you’re stuck on, or just read for a while. Every post carries report and block tools, and the conduct rules are written down rather than implied.
Every urge you log carries a trigger, an intensity, and the response you chose. Analytics turns those into something you can act on: the trigger that shows up most, the window of the day you’re most likely to struggle, and how often you resisted with an action rather than white knuckles. All of it calculated on your device — nothing is uploaded to be analysed.

A full-screen pause with a private live mirror and two honest paths forward.
Escape soundscapes
Campfire, ocean, rain, and forest, with volume you control and no session to finish.
Pledge
One promise you can actually keep today, and a record of when you followed through.
Urge & relapse logs
Trigger, intensity, and the response you chose — in seconds, without judgement.
On-device analytics

Free-form entries grouped by day for the things that don’t fit in a log.
Worlds & streak
A world that develops with your clean time, alongside your current run and goal.
Momentum
A finite daily set of five short clips. Five, then you’re done — no infinite feed.
Content blocker

Export your data
One tap produces a complete file of your logs and journal that you keep.
Encrypted account
Your account backs up your data — encrypted on your phone before it ever leaves it.
Get your time and attention back
Quitting frees up the hours and the headspace the habit was quietly taking. Where that goes is up to you — sleep, work, the people around you, the things you keep saying you’ll get to.
The most sensitive thing you own is a record of what you’re trying to stop
So QuitIt is built to hold as little of it as possible.
Computed on device
Your logs, journal, and analytics are stored and calculated on your iPhone.
Never sold
No ads, no tracking SDKs, and no sale or sharing of your data. Ever.
Encrypted before it leaves
Your account’s backups are encrypted on your phone with a key only your device holds.
Yours to delete
Export everything, or delete your account and its data from inside the app.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account?
Yes. You can get through onboarding and start your trial first, but an account is required to keep using QuitIt after that. It is what carries your encrypted backup, restores your history if you reinstall, and keeps your progress if you change phones. Your recovery data is still encrypted on your device before it is uploaded — see below.
Can you read my logs?
No. Your data is encrypted on your device with a key held in your Apple Keychain before any of it is uploaded, so what we store is ciphertext we have no way to decrypt. The trade-off is worth knowing: if you lose that key, we cannot recover your data for you either — which is why the app lets you export your own copy at any time.
Is my data ever sold?
Never. We do not sell your personal information, do not share it for advertising, and carry no advertising or analytics SDK that profiles you. It is written into our Privacy Policy as a commitment, not a setting you have to find and switch off.
How is this different from a blocker?
A blocker handles the last five seconds. It does nothing about why you reached for your phone in the first place. QuitIt includes blocking, but the point of the app is the moment before — and the pattern that keeps producing that moment.
What happens if I relapse?
You log it, and you keep going. A slip resets your current streak, but it does not erase your history, your patterns, or the days you already did the work. Honest logging is the whole point — under-reporting only makes your own analytics less useful to you.
Is QuitIt therapy?
No. QuitIt is a self-help tracking tool. It does not diagnose or treat anything, its onboarding self-check is not a clinical instrument, and its suggestions come from simple rule-based logic rather than a clinician. It works best alongside professional support, not instead of it.
How do subscriptions work?
QuitIt starts with a free trial. After it ends, a subscription is required to keep using the app. It is an in-app purchase sold and billed by Apple, so Apple handles payment, renewals, and refunds — we never see your card details. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid being charged, and manage it any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription; you have to cancel through Apple.
Is there an Android version?
Not at the moment. QuitIt is iOS only.
Start with one honest log.
You don’t have to commit to forever tonight. Open the app, log the next urge as it happens, and let the pattern show itself.
Free trial on iOS. Subscription required after the trial ends.
