Our mission
Reclaiming control, without the shame.
Compulsive habits thrive in secrecy and self-criticism. We built Cold Turkey to be the opposite of that — a private, judgment-free place to do the quiet, daily work of getting your life back.
Most tools in this space either shame you or sell you a fantasy. The blockers feel like punishment; the trackers feel hollow; the “quit forever” promises ignore how relapse actually works. People deserve better than willpower and guilt.
So we built one private app that brings together the things that genuinely help: friction where you’re vulnerable, a streak that makes progress visible, a coach for the 1am moments, and a plan for the urge before it peaks. The same structure works whether you’re quitting porn, alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, or binge eating — because underneath, the loop is the same.
We’re clear about what we are: a support tool, not a treatment. When someone needs professional or medical care, we say so and point the way. Everything else, we try to make calm, beautiful, and worth opening every day.
What we stand for
Three things we won’t compromise.
No shame, ever
Recovery doesn’t happen through guilt. We treat people as capable adults reclaiming control — compassionate, never preachy or clinical.
Private by design
Our users are highly privacy-sensitive, and we build for that: discreet branding, no account required to start, and data handled responsibly.
Science over hype
We ground the product in how habits and the brain actually work — and we’re honest that an app supports, but never replaces, professional care.
