Nobody runs you. Least of all a habit.

Fourteen days, you and two friends. One question a day, and a plan you wrote in advance for the moment it hits. The group sees your day count and whether you answered today — nothing else.

No payments in the app · no public profile · delete the account with one button

Drawing: a young man stands with his hands in his pockets, looking calmly ahead. At his feet, no higher than his knee, a small yellow creature — a tangled ball of line with big eyes and a wide-open mouth — jumps up and shouts at him. He is not even looking at it.

Every one opened in full text and stamped with the date it was checked. A script refuses a source without one.

If you have a stake, you settle it between yourselves. The app never touches money.
2021year of retraction
The year the testosterone study was retracted — the one most NoFap pages and videos still rest on.

Two people who will see this

The board shows exactly this much: a nickname, the day of the challenge, and whether somebody answered today. Nothing about how it went, nothing from the history, nothing about slips.

What it is for

The habit itself is not the biggest problem here. The problem starts when it eats one evening after another. The question is not “how many days can you hold out”, it is “what do you want that time for”.

Drawing: a man with a bag over his shoulder walks out through an open door into bright daylight, where two friends are waiting for him. He does not look back. In the empty hallway behind him the yellow tangled creature is shouting at the closing door.

People who are counting on you

Family, a partner, the friends you meant to message back. You can spend the evening with them or with your phone. Not both.

Something above you

If you have faith, or any purpose bigger than yourself, then you also have an answer to “what for” at two in the morning. You do not need one to use this site. And if you have one, nobody here will ask you to justify it.

Your word

You told two people you were doing this. Saying it on Sunday is easy. Keeping it on a Wednesday at eleven at night is the hard part — and that is exactly the point.

How it works

Three steps and one question a day. Nothing else is required.

  1. Drawing: a man sits at a table drawing a grid of empty squares on a large sheet of paper with a thick marker. The yellow tangled creature has perched on the corner of the table and is watching him with its mouth shut for once.
    01

    You start a challenge

    A name, a length and a check-in rhythm. A stake is optional and always settled outside the app.

  2. Drawing: a man holds out his phone to two friends who are reaching to take it. Below them the yellow tangled creature jumps up trying to reach the phone and misses by a long way.
    02

    You send a link

    To a few people you already know. Somebody outside the group cannot even see that the challenge exists.

  3. Drawing: a man kneels in front of a large grid and fills in one square with a thick marker. Some squares are already yellow, the rest are still empty outlines. The yellow tangled creature sits by his knee.
    03

    You answer once a day

    How it went. The group sees your nickname, the day count and whether you checked in today — nothing else.

The seven deadly sins, honestly

The classical list has seven entries. At eleven at night, with a phone in your hand, three of them are usually in play. And despite the name, the list does not say who you are — it says what you are up against.

Drawing: three identical yellow tangled creatures side by side. The first lies on its side, fast asleep. The second is shouting with its mouth wide open. The third has its chin raised and is looking smugly away from the other two.
  1. 01SlothThe most frequent winner. You cannot be bothered to get up and reach for anything else. That is why a plan has to name a replacement action rather than a prohibition.
  2. 02LustThe one that brought you here. It rarely arrives alone — it usually brings the other two.
  3. 03PrideThe conviction that you can do this alone and owe nobody an update. That is why this challenge has two witnesses rather than none.

The other four — greed, envy, gluttony and wrath — are usually asleep at eleven. They come back in the morning, but this site will not help you with those.

What this is built on

A closed group of friends

Of everything tested in this category, one thing has the best evidence behind it: support from people you already know. A friend does better than a moderator, and better than a coach.

Honest numbers

The testosterone study the whole NoFap community cites was retracted in 2021. We say so plainly, with the source.

A slip is not the end

We do not erase your history and nobody here gets judged. If you are feeling low, we show you numbers you can call.

The questions that come up most

How do you stop masturbating?
Not by resolve alone. Three things have research behind them: write down in advance what you will do instead in a specific situation, record each day how it went, and have people you already know alongside you. This service does exactly those three things and nothing more.
Is willpower alone enough?
Rarely — and not because you are weak. A decision taken in the middle of the wave is taken at the worst possible moment. So you write the plan earlier, calmly: then you do not have to win anything, only carry out what you already decided.
How many days do you have to hold out?
No study sets a threshold. Fourteen days is short enough to see from one end to the other and long enough to mean something. There is a separate article about this.
Does NoFap raise testosterone?
The study this whole community cites was retracted in 2021. The publisher still serves it without a notice. It is the one figure on this subject worth knowing by heart.
Is this a service for believers?
Not only. If your reason is faith, there is room for it here and nobody will explain it to you. If your reason is family, fitness or plain quiet — it works the same. The service never asks about religion and never stores it.
What will my friends see?
A nickname, the day of the challenge, and whether you answered today. Nothing about how it went, nothing from the history and nothing from your notes. The one exception is a support request, which only you can press.
