QUITTR removed from the App Store? What we know, and a private alternative
QUITTR, one of the best-known quit porn apps, is no longer listed on the App Store or Google Play. Here is what we know, what to do if you were using it, and how UNHOOK compares if you are looking for something new.
Facts about other products were checked on 9 November 2026 from their own websites and app store listings. Features and prices change, so check the official site before you decide.
What we know
- When we checked on 9 November 2026, QUITTR was not listed in the US, UK or Australian App Store or on Google Play.
- The App Store link on QUITTR’s website returned a not-found page.
- Users began reporting in late October 2026 that it had disappeared from both stores.
- Its website, quittrapp.com, was still online.
- We could not find a public statement from QUITTR or Apple explaining why. We will not guess, and we will update this page if that changes.
If you were using QUITTR
- Check your subscription. An app leaving the store does not always end its billing. On iPhone: Settings, your name, Subscriptions. On Android: Play Store, your profile, Payments and subscriptions. If you paid on QUITTR’s website, check your card statement and receipt email.
- Keep what matters to you. Write down your reasons for quitting, your current streak and anything you learned about your triggers. Those belong to you, whichever app you use next.
- Think about your data. QUITTR’s privacy policy says it stored streaks, relapse logs, journal entries, moods and community posts in the cloud. Its privacy policy at quittrapp.com is the place to look for how to ask about your data.
- Do not let a store change cost you your momentum. The work you put in is still yours. Have a plan for tonight: our guide to handling urges in the moment takes five minutes to read, and the free built-in blocks on iPhone and Android take two minutes to set up.
What QUITTR offered
According to its website and privacy policy:
- An “Advanced Blocker”, plus a Chrome extension blocker.
- Streak and progress tracking, achievements and a personalised plan.
- A panic button for urges, which uses the camera.
- “Learn” lessons and a community forum.
- “Melius”, a 24/7 AI support chat its FAQ calls an AI therapist.
- Account creation that may collect your email, name and age, with your history stored in the cloud.

Why privacy matters for an app like this
A quit porn app holds some of the most personal information you have: when you struggle, what triggers you, how you feel afterwards. In March 2026, 404 Media reported that QUITTR had exposed data about hundreds of thousands of its users, including their age and answers about their porn use.
UNHOOK is built so there is no server copy of your history to expose: there is no account, and your check-ins and progress are encrypted on your phone and never uploaded to our servers. See the privacy policy for exactly what the app stores and where.
Which one fits you
- You want a blocker, an AI chat and a community in one app: that is what QUITTR described. UNHOOK does not do those things; pair it with the free built-in blocks if you want blocking.
- You want privacy first: UNHOOK has no account and nothing you record leaves your phone.
- You are tired of streaks resetting to zero: UNHOOK counts goal days that never reset, so one hard day does not wipe out weeks of work. See streaks vs progress.
- You mainly need help in the moment: UNHOOK’s urge support is free and works offline.
