Silent Era is a free iPhone and Android app that helps you stay no contact with an ex after a breakup. A calm capybara companion named Pip counts your days without contact, breathes with you when you want to text them, and gives you a private place to write what you won't send.
How does the no contact rule work?
The no contact rule means not calling, texting, messaging or checking on your ex for a set time, often 30 to 60 days, so you can heal instead of reopening the wound. The app tracks each day you hold the line and starts the count again from the right day if you slip, without losing your progress elsewhere.
What should I do when I want to text my ex?
Pause before you act. In the app, “I want to contact them” starts a one-minute breathing exercise with Pip, then asks how strong the urge is and what you hope to get from reaching out. You can then write the message in Unsent, where it is saved but never sent, or talk it through with Pip.
Is there an app to help me stop texting my ex?
Yes. Silent Era is built for exactly that moment: a no-contact counter, a breathing exercise for urges, an unsent-messages space, a journal with daily prompts, and an AI companion you can talk to at any hour.
Can friends and family support me without the app?
Yes. With the support circle you share a short code or link. Loved ones open it in any browser to see your no-contact streak, and only what else you choose to share, and send you a cheer. They never need to install anything.
How long does it take to get over a breakup?
There is no fixed timeline; for many people the hardest urges fade over the first few weeks of no contact. From day 7 the app gently adds small daily goals, like a walk or calling a friend, so the focus shifts from your ex back to you.
Is Silent Era free?
Yes. The no-contact counter, breathing, daily check-ins, journal, Unsent and support circle are free. Silent Era Pro ($59.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, $12.99 a month, or $4.99 a week) adds Talk to Pip, voice dictation, all scenes and unlimited habits.
Is my journal private?
Yes. Your journal and unsent messages are encrypted, sync only between your own devices, and are never sent to your ex. You can also keep them on your phone only. If you use Talk to Pip, recent entries are shared with our AI provider only to write Pip's replies. You can also choose to share specific entries with people in your support circle, and turn that off at any time.
