AUSTIN, TX – Quittr, a mobile application designed for porn addiction recovery, has reportedly achieved $250,000 in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) within four months of its launch, attracting over 750,000 users. The app distinguishes itself with a unique "panic button" feature that activates the user's front-facing camera during moments of temptation, prompting self-reflection.
"Grow stronger, healthier, and happier," promises the app, as highlighted by The Free Press in a recent tweet. The core of Quittr's approach, particularly its panic button, aims to confront users directly. "The big thing is shame," stated a co-founder of Quittr, emphasizing the psychological aspect of their recovery method.
Founded by three young individuals—Chris (17), Alex (19), and Connor (22)—Quittr emerged from a recognized need for discreet and accessible support in overcoming porn addiction. The app's strategy includes a hard paywall, a decision that reportedly increased user engagement and commitment compared to a freemium model. This approach ensures that users are highly motivated to invest in their recovery.
Beyond the panic button, Quittr offers a comprehensive 90-day science-based recovery program, real-time progress tracking, and a supportive community. It also integrates tools such as meditations, interactive challenges, and content blockers to help users manage urges and build new habits. The app's success underscores a growing demand for digital solutions in the addiction recovery space.
While the market for porn addiction recovery apps is expanding, empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of all such digital tools is still developing. However, many apps, including Quittr, incorporate features aligned with established addiction-management frameworks like self-regulation and self-efficacy theories. Technology continues to play an increasing role in offering accessible support for individuals seeking to overcome various addictions.
