Questions
What is UNHOOK?
UNHOOK is a private app for adults who want to quit or cut back on porn. You check in daily, get through urges with short guided exercises, and grow a pixel-art companion called Ember as you show up.
Does UNHOOK block websites or apps?
No. UNHOOK does not block, monitor or read anything on your phone. It focuses on habits, honest check-ins and getting through urges. Some people use a content blocker alongside it.
Where is my data stored?
On your phone, encrypted. There is no account and your check-ins are not uploaded. You can export or delete everything from Settings.
How much does UNHOOK cost?
UNHOOK is a subscription app. Prices are shown in the App Store or Google Play before you subscribe. Urge support is always free, even without a subscription.
Can I cut back instead of quitting completely?
Yes. You choose your goal: stop completely, cut back, or build healthier habits. You can change it at any time without losing your history.
What happens if I slip up?
You answer honestly and keep going. Your total goal days and badges stay, your companion stays encouraging, and there is even a badge for checking in again after a tough day.
Is UNHOOK a replacement for therapy?
No. UNHOOK is a self-help tool. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. If porn use is causing you distress, a doctor or licensed therapist can help.
