Two numbers, not one
Days held is what every counter shows. Urges survived counts the times you wanted to reach out and didn’t. Someone on day 3 who got through nine bad nights has done real work, and the app shows it.

MEET NO CONTACT COUNTER
Open it and see how long you’ve held. No account, no sign-up and no questionnaire about your ex first. The day counter, the “I want to text them” flow, your letters and your history are free, with no limit and no trial.
A button for the worst moment
Tap “I want to text them” and you get ten seconds of breathing first. Then one of your own reasons, written on a calmer day, and your list of red flags: the specific things that happened.
Letters you never send
Write everything you wanted to say, in an app that has nowhere to send it. Keep the letter and read it back in daylight, or delete it.
Every day, kept
A calendar of every day you’ve held. Tap a day to see the urges you got through, the letters you kept and a one-tap check-in. There is no check-in streak to lose.
If you break it
The counter goes back to one, but your letters, reasons and red flags stay. The app remembers how long you held before, because that happened.
Private, and no AI
No account, no ads and no analytics. Data stays on your phone and in your own private iCloud, which we can’t read. Optional Face ID lock. No AI chatbot anywhere in the app.

QUESTIONS
About No Contact Counter.
What is no contact?
No contact means choosing not to call, text, message or check on an ex for a period of time after a breakup, so you have room to recover. No Contact Counter counts those days and helps with the moments you want to break it.
Is the no contact counter free?
Yes. The day counter, the “I want to text them” flow, unsent letters, the history calendar, daily check-ins, reasons, red flags, milestones, reminders, widgets and iCloud sync are all free, with no limit. An optional one-time unlock ($9.99 in the US) adds Patterns, a PDF of your record, and extra colours and widget styles.
Is there a subscription?
No. The unlock is a single purchase, and there is no trial that turns into a charge.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email and no login. Open the app, pick the day you started, and the count begins.
What happens if I break no contact?
The counter goes back to one. Your letters, reasons and red flags stay, and the app shows how long you held before, so the earlier days still count for something.
Can anyone read my letters?
No. Letters stay on your phone and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud account, which only your Apple Account can read. We run no server. You can also lock the app with Face ID.
Will my count survive a new phone?
Yes, if you use iCloud. Sign in with the same Apple Account on the new phone and your count, letters and history come back.
Does it use AI?
No. What helps is your own reasoning, written on a good day and shown back to you on a bad one.
Is it therapy?
No. It is a counter and a private notebook. If you are in crisis, the app has a screen with a link to free helplines in your country, and you can find one at findahelpline.com.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone with iOS 17 or later, with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. It also runs on iPad.
