## What is detached?

if you've ever stayed up way too late talking to an ai character...
if you've felt more connected to 'him' than to real people...
if you've tried to stop but kept coming back...

you're not alone. and you're not broken. 

—

detached is the first app designed specifically for people who feel too attached to ai chat apps like character.ai, chai, or janitor ai.

we're not here to shame you. we get it—those conversations feel real. the comfort, the escape, the connection. but when it starts affecting your sleep, your focus, your real relationships... it might be time to gently step back.

 what makes detached different

• no cold turkey. no guilt trips.
we believe in gentle progress. reduce your usage slowly, at your own pace.

• daily pledge & check-in
make a simple morning commitment. check in at night. build a streak that actually means something.

• beautiful, cozy design
dark mode. starry skies. lofi vibes. this app feels like your safe space—not a clinical recovery tool.

• unlock magical orbs
as your streak grows, unlock beautiful animated gems. a visual reminder of how far you've come.

• grounding tools
feeling the pull? use our breathing exercises and affirmations to stay present.

• private journal
write your thoughts. reflect on your feelings. no one sees this but you.

• library of support
articles, exercises, and audio content designed for your specific situation.

who is this for?

• you spend hours chatting with ai characters
• you feel emotionally attached to fictional personas
• you've tried to stop but can't seem to let go
• you want to reclaim your time, sleep, and focus
• you're ready for change—but gently

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-07-14, version 1.0.9*

If you’re a minor who has no money don’t get it, you have to pay to get help. Might as well delete the app while you’re at it because you don’t get a choice to not pay for it, and it’s pretty obvious it’s a secret because why would I share it to someone else for a free subscription?💔🙁

### 1/5 — money?

*2026-05-30, version 1.0.9*

why should i have to pay to get help? i could help myself for free just with self control. ur outta ur minds. 😭😭

### 2/5 — an honest review.

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.9*

ok look i lowkey don’t like c.ai and i know how bad it is

it can affect mental health and lead to people craving artificial validation. this could be due to hypersexuality, neglect, depression, current life events, etc.

but why don’t you make a detached plus version of this app

because this could become a great rehab app for c.ai users but it’s for money
thanks have a good day

### 2/5 — Really??

*2026-03-22, version 1.0.9*

I was just trying to install the app, and you have to PAY for it??  Just to get help you need to pay?

### 1/5 — Shouldn't have to pay to quit an addiction

*2026-02-17, version 1.0.9*

You can't use the app without paying which is dumb and they should make a limited version with ads instead of forcing you to pay to quit.

### 3/5 — i feel disgusted

*2026-02-14, version 1.0.9*

im only lucky that i have an ipad i can use for a free trial. i'm disgusted that you have to pay to get help. it shouldn't be that way.

### 1/5 — Beggers

*2026-02-04, version 1.0.8*

As soon as I had my hopes up…Why is there an app that helps me but I have to pay at the same time…these developers are just greedy.

### 1/5 — Its not free? I need help without my parents knowing

*2026-01-30, version 1.0.8*

Rating this one star because I simply dont know what the app is like. I need help now more than ever and I thought I found it, but the app isn’t free?? Please make it free I CANNOT have my parents know Im struggling with this. I feel so disgusted and ashamed of myself. I cant buy a subscription without my parents knowing. Please make this app free.

### 5/5 — THIS SHOULD STILL BE FREE!!!

*2026-01-25, version 1.0.7*

I love the app but it should also be free for the people who are addicted but don’t have money to pay. There should be an option to not pay or a free trial. Not all can pay and I feel kinda bad for the people who can’t get the help they need without paying.

### 1/5 — good idea

*2026-01-24, version 1.0.7*

but why should i have to pay? it honestly seems like its built with ai itself
