mute

The part of breakup recovery that finally gets quiet.

A no-contact companion. No streaks. No mascots. Just the quiet you need to heal.

Principles

Three non-negotiables.

Progress without punishment.

A hard day doesn't reset your progress to zero. Mute tracks your quiet as a living rhythm, not a score you can lose. You're still healing, even when it's hard.

Clarity, not noise.

No chatbots. No push notifications guilt-tripping you. Just clear prompts, space to write, and room to breathe. The app gets out of your way.

Your words, your pace.

You choose the duration. You write your own vow. You decide when to extend or when to stop. Nothing here is tracking you or judging you.

What Mute Actually Does

Real tools for going quiet.

Block their calls

CallKit integration blocks their number system-wide. They can't reach you by phone.

Shield your apps

Screen Time shields on Messages, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp. Your vow appears when you try to open them.

Archive their photos

Photos of them move to a hidden album. They return when you're ready, or never.

Choose your duration

7, 14, 30, or 90 days. Extend any time. End early without shame — that's information, not failure.

Write letters you won't send

Daily prompts to write what you need to say. The compose surface never has a send button.

Breathe through the urge

When the urge hits, a guided breath. Two minutes, twelve cycles. Stay with it.

The Flow

Start to finish, in four steps.

Tell us who you're going quiet on

A name, an initial, or nothing. We only use it to remind you of the choice you made.

Choose how long

7 days is the shortest honest commitment. 90 is the clinical no-contact standard. Pick what feels right.

Write your vow

Start with ours or write your own. Whatever you keep, we'll show you back when the urge hits.

Seal it

A ceremony, not a gate. Slide to sign. No paywall follows this screen.

“I don't need an app to tell me I'm doing great. I need one that helps me not text them at 2am.”
