You already know what the problem is. It's the apps you open without deciding to, the sites you end up on at 1am, and the hours that disappear before you notice. Willpower was never going to beat software built to keep you there. Check-ins and streak calendars don't stop a hand reaching for the phone at 1am. MENtality does. It blocks those apps and sites at the system level, locks your phone down at night, and keeps an honest count of every clean day. Built for men who are done making excuses, whether you're escaping the doomscroll trap or breaking a compulsive habit. Zero judgment, just tools that hold. MENtality requires a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Full terms are at the bottom of this page. BLOCK THE TRIGGERS Set a daily budget for distracting apps. When it runs out, MENtality blocks supported apps through iOS Screen Time. Choose a preset or create a blocking schedule for work, evenings or weekends. Block adult sites across supported browsers, so you make the decision before an urge hits. BUILD YOUR CONTROL Track your clean streak from your last relapse. Move through phases and unlock milestones as you build consistency. Your Control Score combines screen time with automatically measured progress, weighted equally. If you relapse, log it honestly and start again. Every new day is a chance to rebuild. WIN YOUR TIME BACK See your screen time alongside Life Back: the time you've reclaimed through measured reductions in screen use. Make your progress visible as fewer hours go to scrolling and more go to the life you want. YOUR PERSONAL AI MENTOR Track your urges and recognize the moments that pull you back. When you need support, talk to your AI Mentor. Work through an urge, discuss your triggers or find your next step after a setback. Get practical support built around what you share, without judgment. PRIVACY FIRST Your struggles are yours. Screen Time data stays on your device and the list of apps you picked never leaves it. There is no community feed and no public profile. We never sell your data and never share it with advertisers. WHO THIS IS FOR Men breaking free from a compulsive habit Anyone trapped in doomscrolling and endless feeds Men who have tried quitting on willpower and watched it fail by Thursday Men who've done the check-ins and the milestone calendars and still relapsed Men who want the block to be real, not a notification This isn't another meditation app with wind chimes and sunset backgrounds. MENtality takes the phone out of the equation for the hours that matter, counts the days, and puts a coach in your pocket for the moments in between.

About

Full Clear

Full Clear is a quit-porn app built on how habits actually work — not on shame, leaderboards or bro-science. The streak, the urge log, the panic button and the first days of the program are free. Pro unlocks the full 30-day program, a plan for tonight built from your own logs, and your complete pattern. A 30-DAY PROGRAM, TWO MINUTES A DAY One short lesson a day: how the habit loop works, riding out an urge, if–then plans, sleep, boredom, loneliness, stress, what to do after a slip, and a plan you write in your own words. Each lesson ends with one thing to try and one question for your journal. A PLAN FOR TONIGHT Most relapses happen in the same few hours. Full Clear learns yours and warns you before the window opens, with one concrete move for the hour before it. With Pro the window comes from your real logs, along with the trigger that usually leads in and whether today is one of your harder days. A PLAN FOR THE WORST TEN MINUTES The panic button is free forever: face yourself with the front camera (nothing is recorded), box-breathe, read the reasons you wrote in a calmer moment, and ride out ninety seconds with something physical to do. Add an accountability partner and a ready-written text to them is one tap away. YOUR TRIGGERS, NOT GENERIC ADVICE Logging an urge is free and takes seconds: the hour, the feeling, the situation. The more you log, the more specific the picture gets — your risk hours, what precedes it, your hardest day, and whether your bad days bring the urges. A STREAK YOU CAN TRUST The count is derived from an append-only log, never stored as a number that can quietly drift. Corrections are recorded as corrections. If you relapse it drops to zero, visibly — loss aversion only works when the loss is real. PROGRESS A RELAPSE CAN'T ERASE A calendar of your clean days, your resistance rate (urges ridden out over urges logged), and badges for the things that only go up: your best run, urges ridden out, lessons finished. None of them reset. RELAPSE IS DATA, NOT A RESET The debrief walks three steps — what preceded it, one concrete change, where you actually stand. The change you choose is shown back to you at your next urge. YOUR DEFINITION OF CLEAN You choose what breaks your streak: porn only, or a stricter definition, up to hard mode. All three are always tracked, so changing your mind never loses history. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account, no email, no server. Everything lives in a database on your phone and is never uploaded. Lock the app behind Face ID or your passcode. No notification ever names what the app is for. NO BRO-SCIENCE No testosterone claims, no retention mythology, no superpowers. Full Clear is a self-tracking and habit tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Compulsive pornography use is not a DSM-5 diagnosis. If your use is causing you serious distress, please talk to a qualified clinician — this app is not a substitute for one. FULL CLEAR PRO Available monthly or yearly — the yearly plan includes a free trial for eligible new subscribers — or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
