Straight answers about quitting porn, and about the apps that say they help — including ours. Every comparison names the date a person last checked the other app, because claims about someone else's product go stale.
Most plans are written by the calm version of you for the calm version of you. In the only controlled trial of porn abstinence, nearly half the people trying watched anyway inside a week — so here is a porn relapse prevention plan built around that number, with worked examples, a free template you can copy, and the page everyone leaves out.

Read →Willpower is the part that fails first, and every attempt that rests on it fails the same way. This is the plan that is left once you take motivation out of it — remove the ten-second decision, know in advance what you do when the craving lands, and count something a relapse cannot delete.
Read →The real setup, in order of how hard each layer is to undo — and the leak nearly every guide leaves out, which is that Chrome carries its own DNS resolver and can walk straight around the one you just configured.
Read →A third of people who try to stop report it. No study has ever established what causes it or how long it runs — which is why every confident week-count you will find is invented.
Read →The honest answer is that "addiction" may not be the right question. Here is what the research actually found about people who call themselves addicted, what clinicians recognise instead, and the signs that are worth paying attention to either way.
Read →Every other guide on this is written for a parent locking a child's phone. This one is for the harder case — blocking yourself, when you already know the passcode. The real setup, and the three places it leaks.
Read →People who stop consistently report brain fog, low mood, irritability and insomnia. When a controlled trial went looking for those symptoms, it did not find them. Both of those things are true, and the gap between them changes what you should do.
Read →Six apps side by side — QUITTR, Unchaind, Brainbuddy, Seed, BlockerX and IronWill. Which actually block sites, which make you pay before they do anything, and which need your email first.

Read comparison →Nobody can give you a date. Here is what is actually established about habit change, what the 90-day figure is and is not, and why the confident timelines you will find elsewhere are not sourced.
