Make no contact finally stick. BackToMe is a private breakup recovery companion built for the moment you want to text your ex—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. SEE YOUR HEALING TAKE SHAPE • No-contact day counter and milestones • Relapse-aware Healing Score • Daily mood check-ins and guided journal prompts • Mood, score, and difficult-hour insights • AI Healing Companion for judgment-free reflection • Home and lock-screen widgets • Achievements and shareable milestone cards PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal and Vault stay on your device. Vault content is encrypted. No account is required to begin, and you can export your journal or delete your data at any time. FREE TO START Start with the no-contact tracker, daily check-ins, journal access, and SOS support. BackToMe Premium unlocks the complete 90-day program, expanded journaling and companion access, the Vault, and advanced insights. Available features may vary by plan. BackToMe is a self-help and reflection tool, not medical care, therapy, or crisis services. If you may be in immediate danger or are considering harming yourself or someone else, contact local emergency services or a qualified crisis resource.
