A private alternative to QUITTR
If you are looking at QUITTR and want something private, Escape blocks porn on your own iPhone, iPad and Mac and helps you through urges, with no account and nothing about you sent to anyone. You do not give a name or an email, and its App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. Your streak, your courses and your hardest moments stay between you and your phone.
Recovery that stays on your phone
For many people, the fear of someone finding out is the reason they never start. Escape is built so nobody has to find out. Blocking happens on your own device. Escape never sees what you browse or what was blocked, and nothing is sent to anyone: no reports, no screenshots, no activity log. You can use every part of it without signing up for anything.
For the moment an urge hits
Urges tend to arrive at the worst times: late at night, after a long day, when you are alone with your phone. Escape's panic button and its 90-second urge tool are there for exactly that moment, so you have somewhere to go before you reach for the browser. Both are part of Premium.
A streak counter that counts quietly
The free streak counter shows how long it has been since you last watched porn. In the first hour it counts minutes, then hours, then days and hours, and from day 90 just days. You can put it on your Home Screen as a widget, so the number you are protecting is right there every time you go to your Home Screen. It lives on your phone and is never sent anywhere.
Short courses, at your own pace
Escape includes 28 short recovery courses. The first day of each course is free in the app, and the rest of the lessons come with Premium. You can also read every lesson free on this website, so you can see what they are like before you install anything.
Blocking that holds underneath
Recovery is easier when the door is already shut. Escape's free Safari blocker blocks more than 40,000 known adult sites on iPhone, iPad and Mac the moment you turn it on. Premium adds the rest:
- Deep Block carries blocking into every browser on iPhone and iPad, including private and incognito tabs. How Deep Block works.
- Strict Mode puts a wait of 30, 60 or 120 minutes in front of turning blocking off, so a weak moment does not get the last word.
- App blocking keeps the apps you pick from opening, and blocking windows such as The Late-Night Window (10 PM to 6 AM) switch it on by themselves.
- Blocked Words stops a Safari search for a word you choose from loading.
- A protection passcode, set up inside Strict Mode, can be held by a partner or trusted friend, so turning protection off needs them. They still see nothing of what you browse.
Set it up tonight
- Turn on the Safari blocker. It is free, needs no account, and starts blocking as soon as it is on.
- Put your streak on your Home Screen. Add the widget so the count is right there when you go to your apps.
- Find the panic button before you need it. Know where it is now, so a hard moment already has an answer.
- Add the wait. With Premium, turn on Deep Block and Strict Mode, so the decision you make tonight still stands at 2am.
- Start the first course. Its first day is free in the app, and one short lesson tonight is enough.
Common questions
Is there a private alternative to QUITTR?
Escape is one. It needs no account, no name and no email, and its App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. It blocks porn on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and it gives you a private streak counter, short recovery courses, and, with Premium, a panic button and a 90-second urge tool for the moment an urge hits.
Does anyone see my streak or what I block?
No. Your streak lives on your phone. Blocking happens on your own device, Escape never sees what you browse or what was blocked, and nothing is sent to anyone: no reports, no screenshots, no activity log.
What is free in Escape?
The Safari blocker, which blocks more than 40,000 known adult sites, the private streak counter and PIN Protection, which locks Escape itself, are free. The first day of each of the 28 short recovery courses is free in the app, and you can read every lesson free on this website. Deep Block, Strict Mode and its protection passcode, app blocking, Blocked Words, the panic button, the 90-second urge tool and the rest of the course lessons in the app are part of Premium.
Can someone help keep me on track without seeing my activity?
Yes. With Premium, a partner or trusted friend can hold your protection passcode, so turning protection off needs them. They never see what you browse or what was blocked, because Escape never sees it either.
Escape blocks porn in Safari for free, extends to every browser with Deep Block, and adds a 90-second urge ritual, practice games that retrain how you meet an urge, and 28 short courses on identity and the long arc of recovery. No account, no personal tracking.
