Break free from limerence, romantic obsession, and obsessive thinking by building healthier habits that help you reclaim your attention, confidence, and peace of mind. If you constantly think about one person, replay conversations, check your phone hoping they'll text, stalk social media, or imagine endless "what if" scenarios, you're not alone. Millions of people experience limerence or romantic obsession, yet few realize there's a name for what they're going through or that recovery is possible. Limerence is an intense form of romantic infatuation marked by intrusive thoughts, emotional dependency, idealization of another person, and a powerful need for reciprocation. Unlike healthy love, limerence can become compulsive, making it difficult to focus on work, relationships, hobbies, or your own goals. Romantic obsession follows a similar pattern, trapping your attention in repetitive thoughts and behaviors that reinforce the cycle. Instead of trying to suppress your thoughts, this free app helps you build new habits that gradually weaken obsessive patterns and strengthen emotional independence. Every healthy action teaches your brain what deserves your attention. Small, consistent choices create lasting change. At the heart of the app are your Bottom Lines, which are personal commitments that guide your recovery regardless of how you feel. Whether it's avoiding social media checking, resisting impulsive messages, exercising, journaling, meditating, or spending time with friends, every Bottom Line you keep is another step toward freedom. Track your progress with daily check-ins, habit tracking, recovery streaks, and behavioral accountability. Measure success by the actions you take, not the thoughts you can't control. Whether you're healing from a breakup, unrequited love, a situationship, anxious attachment, emotional dependency, or obsessive love, this app provides a structured path forward based on behavior change. Features: • Create personalized Bottom Lines • Track daily recovery habits • Build healthy routines • Stay accountable with daily check-ins • Measure progress over time • Build recovery streaks • Reduce compulsive behaviors • Strengthen emotional resilience
