Redirect is a private Android app for the moment an urge shows up. It offers a 90-second guided pause, if-then plans people write on a calmer day, and optional on-device site blocking. There is no account, progress never resets, and a person's journal, check-ins and plans stay on their phone.

Redirect is a private Android app for adults who want to change a porn habit on their own terms. When an urge shows up, one tap from the app, a Quick Settings tile, or a widget starts a 90-second pause: breathe with a slow ring alongside Pip, the app's caterpillar, name what's underneath, then pick an if-then plan written on a calmer day.
Redirect treats the person using it as a capable adult. There is no account, no cloud, and no reports to anyone. Journals, check-ins, and plans stay on the phone, and can be exported or deleted at any time. Progress only counts up: a hard night erases nothing, and there are no streaks to lose.
Optional guardrails add friction the person chooses: on-device blocking of known adult domains, a pause before chosen apps, and waiting periods before protection can be lowered. Redirect is honest about its limits. It is not treatment, not parental control, and not tamper-proof.
Redirect is free. More features will come in updates. Redirect is made in South Africa.

A few requests: please keep Pip as drawn and calm, never sad or alarmed; don't place Redirect or Pip beside explicit material; and describe the app as self-support, not treatment.
