VOW locks iOS's content filter and keeps the passcode for you. To unlock everything, you have to wait 24 hours. The urge will be long gone by then.\n\nNo extra willpower needed. Just a passcode you don't know.\n\nThe app and the monk are available in English and French.\n\nWHY VOW WORKS\nRegular blockers turn off in two seconds, and that's exactly what you do when the urge hits. With VOW, you don't know the passcode. You don't need anyone, and you don't have to tell anyone.\n\nTHE 24 HOUR LOCK\nVOW guides you through turning on the filter built into iOS, \"Limit Adult Websites\", which works in Safari, in other browsers and in web pages inside apps. Then the app picks a random Screen Time passcode and has you type it in Settings, one digit at a time, so you don't remember it. To get it back, you request it in the app and receive it 24 hours later. You can cancel your request anytime.\n\nTHE MONK, WHEN THE URGE RISES\nOne tap on \"i have an urge\". You say what's going on, and the monk answers right away, at any hour, without judging you. It's an artificial intelligence there to help you get through the hard minutes. If social media is what pulls you back, you can shut it with one tap from the conversation.\n\nA SIMPLE FIRST GOAL\nSeven days clean, with three markers to hold on to: day one, day three, day seven.\n\nYOUR PROGRESS, DAY AFTER DAY\nYour streak, your record and seven milestones up to 90 days. Your logbook keeps every urge you beat and shows you the moments you slip most often. And if you relapse, four questions help you understand why, with no blame. You can also compare your streak with your friends.\n\nWHO IS VOW FOR?\n• Adults who want to break free from a compulsive habit\n• People who already tried alone and relapsed\n• People who don't want to talk about it with anyone\n• People who want a block that doesn't come off in two seconds\n\nYOUR PRIVACY\nNo name or email required, you sign in with Apple. Your journal stays on your phone.\n\nSUBSCRIPTION\nYearly with a 3 day free trial, or monthly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of the trial. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel it in your Apple Account settings.\n\nVOW doesn't replace a health professional. Need to talk to someone? Call your local emergency number or a crisis line, like 988 in the US.\n\nPrivacy: https://getnofapp.com/en/privacy/\nTerms of use: https://getnofapp.com/en/terms/\nLicense (Apple standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/\nOur passcode commitment: https://getnofapp.com/en/commitment/\nSupport: nofapplication@gmail.com","facts":{"developer_id":6775242605,"developer_url":null,"first_released":"2026-10-05T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://getnofapp.com/en/support/","privacy_url":"https://getnofapp.com/en/privacy/","website_url":null,"app_version":"1.1","release_notes":"New design.","rating_current_version":null,"rating_count_current_version":0,"star_counts":[0,0,0,0,0],"genres":["Health & Fitness","Utilities"],"languages":["EN","FR"],"content_advisories":["Infrequent/Mild Medical/Treatment Information","Frequent/Intense Mature/Suggestive Themes"],"device_families":["iphone"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-13T12:25:13.112Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-06T16:14:12.756Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-06T13:06:13.368Z","placed_at":"2026-11-06T13:16:13.306Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T10:33:13.090Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Locks iOS's adult website filter behind a passcode you don't know, with a 24 hour wait to unlock and an AI chat for.","what_is":"VOW is a Health & Fitness app that turns on the iOS Limit Adult Websites filter and sets a random Screen Time passcode that the user types in once and does not keep.
