One app for the whole breakup
Recovery is not one decision
It is a chain of small ones: not texting tonight, naming what you feel, getting through one bad hour. Icky is built for those moments.
See your progress first
Your no-contact streak is the biggest thing on the home screen and on the widget. The days you kept are the first thing you see, not the last thing they said.
Help in the hard hour
The urge to text passes if you get through the next few minutes. The Panic Button and the grounding exercises are made for exactly those minutes.
A friend, not a clinic
Warm, direct, a little cheeky. No lectures, no shame when a streak breaks. You start again, and the days you kept still count.
What's inside
Red is the feeling. Blue is the tool you get back.
-
No-contact streak
Track every day you go without reaching out. Milestones are marked, and the streak sits on your home screen and widget.
-
Panic Button
About to text? One tap opens a calm screen that walks you through the urge until it passes. On iPhone it is one tap away from the home screen.
-
Daily mood check-in
Log how you feel on a six-level scale and answer one short prompt for the stage you are in. The calendar shows the pattern over weeks.
-
Talk it out
An AI companion that listens any time, by text or by voice, and remembers the conversation, so you never start from nothing.
-
Grounding exercises
5-4-3-2-1 grounding, box breathing, 4-7-8 breathing, sigh and release, and an emotional detox. Each one takes a few minutes.
-
The unsent message
Write the message you will never send. Say all of it, keep it private, and let it sit somewhere other than your chest.

Plain answers about the no-contact rule, the urge to text, closure and the weeks after a breakup.
Questions
What is the no contact rule?
No contact means you stop reaching out to your ex: no texts, calls, likes or checking their profile. It gives your feelings room to settle without being stirred up again. Icky counts every day you keep it.
What happens if I break my streak?
You start again, without shame. Recovery is a chain of small choices, and one slip does not erase the days you already kept.
What is the Panic Button?
It is for the moment you are about to text your ex. One tap opens a calm screen that walks you through the urge until it passes. On iPhone a home-screen widget puts it one tap away, even when the app is closed.
Is Icky therapy?
No. Icky is a self-help app, not a therapist, a medical service or a crisis line. If you are in danger or thinking about hurting yourself, call your local emergency number now.
How much does Icky cost?
Icky is free to download. Full access is part of Icky Pro, a subscription. The app shows the price, and any free trial, before you pay, and you can cancel in your App Store or Google Play settings.
Which phones does Icky work on?
iPhone (iOS 15.1 or later) and Android. The app is available in English and 32 other languages.
