Anchored

You aren't crazy, and it isn't "just a crush." If you are constantly checking their social media, analyzing every word of their texts, and feeling your mood dictate entirely by whether or not they acknowledge you, you are experiencing Limerence. Limerence is an involuntary cognitive and emotional state of obsessive infatuation. It feels like love, but it acts like an addiction. Your brain is trapped in a dopamine loop, waiting for the next "hit" of attention from them. You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick. Willpower is not enough. You need a system. Welcome to Anchored. Anchored is your comprehensive toolkit designed specifically to break the cycle of relationship addiction, maintain No Contact, and rewire your brain for peace. We don't just track days; we actively interrupt the psychological spirals of obsessive love. CORE FEATURES: ◆ The Nuanced "No Contact" Tracker: Standard sobriety apps don't work for heartbreak. Anchored lets you track true No Contact, while also logging minor "slips" (like checking their Instagram) without entirely destroying your progress streak. Honesty is built into the system. ◆ The "Void" Messenger (Urge Surfing): When the physical compulsion to text them hits, don't do it. Type your desperate texts, angry rants, or sad confessions into the Void Messenger. Hit send, and watch it permanently shred into nothingness. Get the emotional release without resetting your real-world progress. ◆ The "Reality Check" (Pedestal Breaker): Limerence relies on idealizing the other person. Build your private database of their flaws, red flags, and annoyances. When you feel yourself slipping into a fantasy, Anchored serves up the harsh truth to snap you back to reality. ◆ Panic Button Interventions: About to break No Contact? Hit the SOS button. Anchored will instantly lock you into a grounding exercise and force you to evaluate the realistic, painful outcome of reaching out before you make a mistake you'll regret. ◆ Milestone Rewards: Rebuilding your independence is hard work. Earn badges and track your cognitive milestones as the "brain fog" of obsession slowly lifts. Stop being a secondary character in someone else's life. It is time to reclaim your focus, lower your anxiety, and cut the cord. Download Anchored and start your Day One today. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Whether you're caught in obsessive thought loops, struggling with no-contact, or just trying to understand why you feel this way, MoveOn gives you the tools and support to move forward. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE FEELING Take the Limerence Score Test to measure where you are on the spectrum. Retake it over time to see your progress mapped clearly — from high limerence risk all the way to recovery. AI COMPANIONS WHO LISTEN Talk to Clara or Joseph, two AI companions trained specifically for limerence recovery. • Clara is warm and reflective — she helps you sit with hard feelings and name what you need. • Joseph is CBT-based and practical — he helps you spot thought-loops and build concrete next steps. Both are available anytime, completely anonymous, and end-to-end encrypted. They're not a replacement for professional care, but they're always there when you need to talk.

It's designed to help you ride out the wave without acting on it. TRACK YOUR MOOD Daily mood check-ins help you see the bigger picture. Spot patterns over time and understand what triggers setbacks — and what helps you heal. LEARN & GROW Read curated articles about limerence, attachment theory, and recovery strategies.
