Make no contact finally stick. BackToMe is a private breakup recovery companion built for the moment you want to text your exβ€”and for every day you choose yourself instead. Track your no-contact streak, calm the next urge, write what you will never send, and rebuild with a personalized 90-day plan. KEEP THE PROGRESS YOU EARN Most streaks make one slip feel like starting from zero. BackToMe's Healing Score is different. It grows through check-ins, journaling, SOS sessions, and healthy choices. A setback may affect the score, but it never erases all the work you have already done. SOS SUPPORT IN THE HARDEST MOMENT The urge to reach out comes in waves. Open SOS for guided breathing, a short walk timer, a letter from your future self, or a quick path to someone you trust. SOS works offline and is available without a subscription. SAY EVERYTHING. SEND NOTHING. The Vault is a private space for the messages you are tempted to send. Entries are encrypted on your device. When you are ready, release them without reopening the relationship. A 90-DAY PATH FORWARD Move through Stabilize, Rebuild, and Grow with one small personalized action each day. The plan helps turn an overwhelming breakup into the next manageable step.
