Break free
from porn.
Practical support, rooted in Christian faith. Track your progress, share it with an accountability partner, and open Panic Mode when you need help handling an urge.
One slip doesn't send you back to day 0.
Most apps reset you to zero the second you mess up, and honestly that's when most guys just give up. In Obex your streak is a wall. One slip cracks it, it doesn't knock the whole thing down.
Slip
Messed up once after a day or more clean? You lose 1 day, and the crack heals in 24 hours.
Binge
Again within 24 hours? Your streak gets cut in half, and the wall takes 48 hours to fix.
Spiral
3 or more times in 24 hours. That's when it all comes down and you start from 0.

Guys rebuilding, brick by brick
“I tried everything. Covenant Eyes, accountability groups, willpower. Obex is the first thing that actually made me want to keep going.”
James R.247-day streak“The rank system changed everything for me. Seeing myself climb from Ash to Silver gave me something to actually fight for.”
David K.Gold rank“My accountability partner and I check in every morning. It's the first app that made community feel real, not performative.”
Marcus T.90+ days clean“Panic Mode saved me more times than I can count. Having scripture and support one tap away when you're at your weakest. That's everything.”
Andrew L.Stone rank“I was skeptical about another 'quit porn' app. But the way Obex gamifies it without making it feel trivial, it just works.”
Chris M.156-day streak“For the first time, I don't feel alone in this. The community here actually gets it. No judgment, just guys fighting the same fight.”

Day 7
At 14, I didn’t even know what porn was.
Then I fell for a girl who wouldn’t stop talking about sex. She made me feel dumb, so I looked it up.
Before I knew it, I was hooked.
I’d throw away entire afternoons.
“Everybody does it. It’s normal.”
The first time I tried to quit, I lasted three days.
After that, I couldn’t go more than a week or two.
Apps. Streak counters. A ton of willpower. Nothing worked.
So I went nuclear. Blocked every site, deleted my socials.
Then one late night, buried in work, I picked up my phone.
“Just this once. I’ll feel better and the stress will go away.”
I woke up the next morning thinking I’d be addicted forever.
So I started talking about it. Six months later, I thought I’d made it.
Then I got wasted at a party, and relapsed.
And those six months? I’d been opening porn the whole time, telling myself it didn’t count if I didn’t go all the way.
What finally worked wasn’t willpower. It was putting God first.
My Bible every morning. A brother on the phone when I was down. Long walks by the river, praying.
Some days I’m still tempted. But I know how this ends.
Start here
Every week from here is still empty.
You can't redo the squares behind you. I can't either. But every one in front of you is still empty, and that's where this starts.
Obex is Latin for a barrier. In Christian theology, it's whatever blocks grace from reaching you. For 8 years, porn was mine. I built Obex to help you tear yours down, one week at a time.

Late, alone, phone in hand. I know that night. It doesn't have to end the way it used to.
