Our verdict
“The best recovery experience here, community and coaching, not device monitoring.”

Relay approaches the same problem from the opposite direction. Instead of monitoring your screen, it builds recovery from the inside out, daily check-ins, urge logging, journaling, science-based courses, and small peer teams that support one another. Its reframing is that this is a 'pain problem,' not just a porn problem.

Is it right for you?

Best for

Anyone who wants structured, science-based recovery and real community, ideally paired with a monitoring app for full accountability.

Look elsewhere if

You specifically need device monitoring, screenshots, or reports sent to an accountability partner, Relay doesn't do that.

−Not a device-monitoring or partner-reporting tool, no screen oversight
−Live group meetings cost extra on top of membership
−Won't satisfy anyone whose plan requires transparent screen reports to an ally

Common questions

No, Relay is a recovery community and coaching app, not a monitoring or blocking tool; it focuses on habits, courses, and peer support.

It offers both a faith-plus-psychology track and a psychology-only track, so you can choose the framing that fits you.

Courses are led by credentialed professionals, including a psychiatrist and a licensed counselor, and are grounded in recovery science.

The app is free to download with a paid membership (often around $12/month or $149/year); live group meetings cost extra.

Not for monitoring, many people use Relay alongside a monitoring app rather than instead of one.
