Cure app — A native iOS app helping users quit pornography through streak tracking, gamification, content blocking, and educational resources.

Project Overview

CURE is the app that helps you quit porn – for good. With tools like streak tracking, Life Points, motivational articles, and a built-in porn blocker, CURE guides you step by step toward a more focused, self-directed life. The app combines clinical psychology principles with gamification to create lasting behavioral change, powered by Safari extensions for system-wide blocking and iOS widgets for at-a-glance progress tracking.

  • Safari Content Blocker extension for domain blocking
  • iOS Home Screen widgets for progress tracking
  • Firebase backend integration for authentication and data sync
  • Content blocking system with ScreenTime API

Challenge

Creating an effective recovery tool that balances behavioral science, content filtering, and user motivation without feeling preachy or overwhelming. Users needed both technical blocking features (Safari-level and ScreenTime) and psychological support to maintain long-term behavior change, plus quick access to progress via widgets.

Solution

We built a native iOS app using SwiftUI that leverages Apple's ScreenTime API for in-app content blocking and Safari Content Blocker extensions for system-wide domain blocking. iOS Home Screen widgets provide at-a-glance progress tracking. Firebase handles user authentication and progress sync. Educational content is delivered in bite-sized articles, and the gamification system keeps users engaged without relying on shame or guilt.
