Unhooked: Quit Porn, Recovery

Day one opens on a dark sky with one light low on the horizon. Hold a night and the sky lifts a little. Reach a milestone and another light comes up along the line, and it stays lit.

Unhooked counts the days you go without porn and keeps the record when you slip. No account, nothing to sign in to.

NINE MARKS, AND WHAT IS KNOWN AT EACH
The first night, the third, then a week, a fortnight, a month, two months, three, six, a year — and one more light for every year after. Open any of them and read what is actually known at that point, with the paper named, or the plain sentence that nobody has measured it. The one randomised trial on withdrawal during pornography abstinence found craving in week one among daily users, and in nobody else (Fernandez et al. 2023). Distress here tracks self-judgment harder than the habit itself (Grubbs et al. 2019). Ninety days is a stretch somebody once picked, not a finish line: no study backs a ninety-day reset, and the app says so.

TONIGHT, FROM YOUR OWN HOURS
Log a few urges and Home draws your twenty-four hours back to you: the stretch the pull usually lands in, tonight's hard window shaded before it opens, and what you already wrote today. Your log, not an average of strangers. A reading, never a forecast, and no reminder is ever timed to it.

FIVE PARTS OF YOUR LIFE
Focus, sleep, mood, energy, drive. Each carries a plain stage word, not a number, because nobody has published a curve for any of this. Each stage carries its label too: SOURCED where a study holds it up, REPORTED where it is what people describe and no more, STRUCTURE where it is only the shape of the walk.

WHEN THE PULL ARRIVES
Tap once for a guided run, or pick a tool yourself: breathe on a count, set a clock and let the wave pass under you (urge surfing, Marlatt & Gordon 1985), cold water on the face (the dive reflex, out of DBT's TIPP skills), short reality cards, a page to write it out, and the plain read of what you have built. That room is free and stays free.

A SLIP KEEPS THE GROUND
Log it in three taps. Say what happened, or say nothing. The day count goes to zero and starts again; the milestones you reached, the urges you rode out and the hours you got back do not move. The sky does not go dark. No red, no lecture, no verdict.

YOUR OWN RECORD
· History: your month day by day, and any day opens
· A timeline from your first night to the years ahead
· An index out of 100, moved by four counts off your own log
· Your longest run and the one standing today
· An evening check-in: how the day went, how hard the pull was
· A weekly reflection in a single line
· A journal, free, on any day
· Home-screen widgets with the same night and your day number, free
· Quiet reminders you set, that never name what this app is about
· One export file that moves your record to a new phone
· The app in English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and French

NOTHING LEAVES THE PHONE
No account, no sign-in, nowhere to sign in to. What you write sits in one file on this phone. Anonymous crash reports and counts of which screens get opened are the only traffic, and neither carries a word of it. Delete the app and all of it goes — that is what the export is for.

UNHOOKED PRO
Pro opens the deeper readings in Insights: your urges week by week, the hours your hard moments land in, your mood beside the lines you wrote, the five parts one at a time, the arithmetic under the index, and your record past thirty days. Pay by the month, by the year, or once and be done. The night sky, every milestone, the calendar, the urge tools and the widgets are free, and they stay free.

WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO
It blocks nothing and filters nothing on your phone. No forum, no chat, no partner watching you, no chatbot, no ranking. It is not therapy and it is not a medical device: it diagnoses nothing and it treats nothing. If this is taking your life apart, see a clinician who works on compulsive sexual behaviour.
