Delust is a science-based recovery app that helps you break a compulsive habit, regain control, and build routines that actually last. Unlike generic blockers or gimmicky trackers, Delust runs a neuroscience-based 33-day plan that targets the root of the habit — retraining your brain, not just resisting urges. With anti-urge tools, prayer, journaling, personal reports, and a streak tracker, Delust helps you break the cycle of compulsive use and reclaim mental clarity, motivation, and focus. Whether you want to cut screen dependence, boost productivity, or simply feel more in control of your life, Delust is built for it. WHY DELUST? URGE CONTROL Instant anti-urge tools designed to stop cravings the moment they hit. Unlike simple blockers, our AI-powered system offers both proven and personalized techniques for immediate relief. FAITH & PRAYER For those on a faith journey, Delust integrates guided prayers and Islamic and Christian-friendly practices, helping you replace destructive habits with spiritual strength while staying true to your values. STREAK TRACKER Stay motivated with a clean, distraction-free tracker that shows real progress. Delust goes beyond counting days — it highlights the bounce-back. A relapse is only a failure if you don't learn from it and come back. JOURNALING Daily reflections help you process triggers, track emotions, and rewire your thinking. Delust keeps journaling simple but profound, so you understand your patterns and break the cycle long term. PERSONAL REPORT Get personalized insights into your habits, triggers, and streak performance. Delust gives you a science-based report that shows real progress, not just days on a counter. HABIT RECOMMENDATIONS Our neuroscience-backed system suggests healthy new habits to take the old one's place — dopamine detox routines, fitness, mindfulness — so you build a lifestyle that keeps you free for good. Delust will reshape your relationship with dopamine, self-control, and the habits that shape your day. Join thousands who have transformed their lives with Delust.

Forge is a recovery app built around one idea: cravings pass. The urge you're feeling right now will be gone in 90 seconds. Forge gets you through those 90 seconds — and every one after that. STREAK TRACKING A live clock counts every hour, minute, and second you've stayed clean. No rounding, no approximation. Real time. AI COACH A private recovery coach that knows your addiction, your patterns, and where you are in your journey. Talk through a craving, plan your week, or just have someone there at 2am. RECOVERY GAMES Three science-backed mini-games that train the exact mental skills sobriety demands — impulse control, pattern interruption, and sitting with discomfort without acting on it. DAILY TRIO Three actions every day: check in, play a game, write in your journal. Hit all three and earn bonus coins. Small wins compound. BOSS BATTLES Every weekend, a Pro-tier challenge drops. Beat the week's Boss and earn coins. Miss it and it's gone until next Friday. VICE GRIP PLAN A personalized recovery protocol built from your intake answers. Clinical-grade structure, without the clinical price tag. SOS MODE When a craving hits hard, one tap opens breathing exercises, urge surfing, and your personal coping toolkit — ranked by what's actually worked for you. MONEY SAVED Tell Forge what you used to spend per week. Watch it become months of rent, a vacation, a guitar — the thing you actually want. YOUR COHORT See how many people who started the same addiction in the same week as you are still going. You're not doing this alone. TREE GARDEN Your sobriety grows a tree. Water it daily. Let it wilt and it shows. A living metaphor you can see. BADGES, XP & COINS Every action earns something. Missions, daily challenges, streaks, milestones — all tracked, all rewarded. Works for: nicotine, alcohol, weed, pornography, gambling, gaming, sugar, caffeine, opioids, and more. Forge Pro unlocks the AI Coach, Boss Battles, Vice Grip advanced days, and unlimited game levels. Free trial available.
