Stop texting your ex: no-contact timer, milestones, time won back, craving help
Do you keep typing a message to your ex, checking their profile – and feel worse afterwards? No Texting the Ex helps you hold the line and give yourself room to heal. The app shows how long you have had no contact, how many messages you did not send and how much time you have won back. And when the urge hits, it helps you pause.
⏱️ YOUR NO-CONTACT TIMER
• Live timer in days, hours, minutes and seconds – just swipe
• Start now or enter when you last got in touch
• Always see your next goal, with a progress bar
• Home screen widget with your no-contact days and time won back
❤️ YOUR PROGRESS, STEP BY STEP
• 11 milestones from 24 hours to 1 year on a timeline – from riding out the urge to calmer evenings, a month of boundaries and a year on
• Every milestone explained in plain words – with practical tips on what you can do yourself
• Know what to expect: urges come in waves and usually fade
• If you like, a short notification as soon as you reach the next milestone
• Based on research on contact after breakups (Sbarra & Emery 2005, Fisher et al. 2010, Marshall 2012) – associations, not proven causes; research is mixed and there are no fixed timelines, so milestones are orientation, not promises
🌬️ HELP WHEN THE URGE HITS
• Craving helper with guided breathing – most urges fade within minutes
• Practical tips: write the message in your notes and do not send it, mute or archive the chat, plan your evenings, call a friend
• Craving diary: how strong was it, what triggered it – evening, night, low mood, boredom? Spot your patterns
• Trusted information and counselling on mental wellbeing – tap to open
💰 SEE WHAT YOU GAIN
• Time won back (about 25 minutes per attempt) – current, total and projected
• Messages not sent and profile checks skipped (rough estimates, about 3 messages and 8 profile checks per attempt)

• Your personal goal: what will you do with the time – friends, sport, sleep?
• Share your progress with friends in a tap

Important: A breakup is not a medical diagnosis. This app is for people who want to hold back from contact on purpose; it does not contact anyone, is not affiliated with any messenger or social network and does not replace professional advice. If you share children or legal matters, necessary contact is fine. If you feel hopeless, cannot sleep or eat, or cannot stop contacting your ex despite problems, talk to a doctor, a psychotherapist or a counselling service. If you feel unsafe, contact the police or a local support service. All values are estimates.
