The best app to quit porn depends on what you need most. If you want sites blocked, look at BlockerX or Covenant Eyes. For a structured program with a community, Brainbuddy and QUITTR are the best-known options. Relay is built around group accountability. If you’d rather understand your own pattern privately, with no account and a free panic button, Full Clear fits. Many people end up combining a tracker with a blocker, since each covers a different part of the problem.

What to look for in a quit-porn app #
A few questions sort the options quickly:
- Do you need blocking, or help with urges? Blockers add friction. Trackers and programs help with the habit underneath. They solve different problems.
- Do you want other people involved? Some apps center on community or an accountability partner. Others are entirely private.
- How much does it cost after the trial? Several apps in this category use yearly subscriptions with a free trial. Check the renewal price, not only the first week.
- What does it claim? Be wary of promises about “rebooting your brain” on a set timeline or physical benefits like testosterone. Those claims aren’t well supported (see does nofap increase testosterone).
- What happens to your data? For a topic this private, it’s worth checking whether an app needs an account and where your logs are stored.
Full Clear: best for learning your own pattern, privately #
Full Clear is the app this blog is about, so read this section with that in mind. It’s built around one idea: find the specific hours, moods and situations that catch you, and get through the minutes when willpower stops working.
What’s free: streak tracking with your own definition of clean (porn only, porn and masturbation, or a stricter mode), unlimited urge logging, a panic button (optional front-camera “face yourself” step with nothing recorded, box breathing, your own written reasons, and a 90-second timer), a three-step relapse debrief, a journal, and Face ID or passcode lock.
What Pro adds: trigger analysis (your risk window, hardest day, what tends to come before an urge) and reminders timed 45 minutes before your computed risk window. Pro is sold yearly (with a free trial) or monthly; the current price shows in the app and store listing.
Privacy: no account, no email, no server and no analytics. Everything stays in a database on your phone.
Limits: Full Clear doesn’t block websites, has no community or accountability partners, and has no coaching. It makes no testosterone or “superpower” claims, and states in the app that it’s a self-tracking tool, not treatment. Pair it with a blocker if you want both.
Brainbuddy: best structured program with a blocker #
Brainbuddy, from AppStudio Australia, is one of the longest-running apps in the category. Its App Store listing describes a content blocker and web filter, a “100-day evidence-based education program,” a community, daily check-ups, journaling and accountability challenges. Its website says it has a “heavy focus on CBT.” The listing showed a 4.7 rating from about 26,000 ratings, with in-app purchases from $2.99 to $99.99.
Good fit if: you want a guided daily program plus blocking in one app.
Watch for: its website talks about “reversing dopamine dependency,” a framing that goes further than the research supports. The CBT-style content is the more solid part.
QUITTR: best for gamified tracking with a blocker #
QUITTR is one of the most downloaded apps in this category. Its App Store listing lists “advanced filtering technology, AI-powered temptation blockers,” progress tracking, community features, meditations, interactive challenges and a “Life Tree” that grows with your progress. When checked, it had a 4.7 rating from about 33,000 ratings, with monthly plans listed from $9.99 to $14.99, yearly from $19.99 to $29.99, and a $49.99 lifetime option.
Good fit if: motivation from visual progress and challenges keeps you going, and you want blocking built in.
Watch for: the listing says “rebooting your brain unlocks significant mental and physical benefits.” That’s a common claim in this space, and the evidence for it is thin.
Relay: best for small-group accountability #
Relay matches you with a small group for daily check-ins. According to its website, it includes trigger logging, therapist-designed lessons, progress tracking and a journal. It costs $149 a year, with a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Relay positions itself as a supplement to therapy, not a replacement.
Good fit if: you’re motivated by other people and want structure around daily honesty.
Watch for: it’s the priciest subscription here, and it doesn’t block sites.
Covenant Eyes: best for accountability with a trusted ally #
Covenant Eyes’ Victory app shares a blurred record of your screen use with an ally you choose. Its pricing page says screenshots are “blurred, distorted, and encrypted” and deleted after 30 days, and the plan includes content blocking with custom lists, courses and a community. It costs $18 a month, $198 a year, or $950 once, covering unlimited devices for up to 10 people in a family. It runs on iOS 15.1+, Mac 11+, Android 11+ and Windows 10+.
Good fit if: you have a spouse, friend or mentor willing to be your ally, and you want someone else to see what’s happening.
Watch for: it only works as well as the relationship behind it, and screen accountability isn’t available on Chromebooks, Kindle Fire or smart TVs.
BlockerX: best free blocker with paid upgrades #
BlockerX says it blocks over 2 million adult sites and offers custom block lists, an accountability partner, community access, courses and progress stats. It runs as a Chrome extension and on Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. There’s a free version. Premium adds uninstall protection on Android, uninstall alerts on iOS, the partner and community features, and no ads. The site listed premium at $109.92 a year or $199.97 lifetime, shown as discounts, so check the current price.
Good fit if: blocking is your first priority and you want to start free.

Do quit-porn apps actually work? #
There’s very little independent research on specific apps. What’s better supported are the techniques some of them use. Planning “if-then” responses, tracking triggers, adding friction and learning to ride out urges all come from behavior-change research. Psychotherapy using CBT and ACT showed large reductions in problematic porn use in a 2025 meta-analysis, though many of the studies had quality problems.
An app is a tool for applying those techniques. It isn’t treatment. If porn use is causing serious distress or harm, a licensed therapist is the right next step; see how to find a therapist for porn addiction.
Frequently asked questions #
Is there a free app to quit porn? #
Yes. Full Clear’s streak, urge log, panic button and relapse debrief are free with no trial or expiry, and BlockerX has a free blocking tier. Your phone’s built-in tools, like Screen Time on iPhone or Private DNS on Android, also block adult sites for free.
Which quit-porn apps include a porn blocker? #
Among the apps above, Brainbuddy, QUITTR, BlockerX and Covenant Eyes include blocking or filtering. Full Clear and Relay don’t block sites. If you use one of those, add a free built-in filter or a separate blocker.
Are quit-porn apps private? #
It varies. Apps with communities, partners or accountability features share some information with other people by design. Full Clear has no account or server, and everything stays on your phone. For any app, read the privacy policy before you start logging something this personal.
Should I use more than one app? #
Many people do. A blocker and a tracker do different jobs: one adds friction, the other helps you understand and handle urges. Just avoid paying for two apps that duplicate each other.
