Is there a no contact tracker app?
Short answer: Yes. A handful of no-contact counter apps exist on iOS and Android, and a free browser-based tracker needs no install or account. The counting itself is the easy part. What matters is what you do on day 7, 30, 60, and 90, and whether checking the number has become a way to avoid the real work.
I’m Benny Lichtenwalner, breakup coach and author of How to Get Your Ex Back, and yes, there’s a handful of no-contact tracker apps out there. A few of the more common ones on iOS and Android are “No Contact Tracker & Move On,” “NoContact,” and “Let Them Go.” They all do roughly the same thing: you set a start date, they count up, some add streak badges or journaling prompts. None of them are essential, and none of them are going to do the hard part for you.
Is there an app to track my no contact days?
Yes. Search either app store for “no contact” and you’ll find several. Most are free with optional paid tiers for extra features like mood logging or reminders. If you’d rather not download anything or hand over an email address, I built a free browser-based tracker at lover-fighter.com/tools/no-contact-tracker. No account, no install. You open it, set your day zero, and it counts. Bookmark it and check in whenever you need to.
What’s the best free no contact app?
Honestly, whichever one you’ll actually open. The counting mechanism is the same across all of them, so pick based on whether you want a native app on your home screen or a link you can check from any device. Worth knowing too: sober-day counter apps, built for addiction recovery, work fine for this. Same math, different label. If you already have one installed, there’s no need to add another app just for this.
The psychology of counting no-contact days
Here’s the part the apps skip. Watching a number climb feels like progress, and some days it is. But counting can also become its own form of checking your ex, just aimed at a calendar instead of their Instagram. If you’re opening the app ten times a day, refreshing to see if today “counts” yet, or feeling your mood swing on whether you’re on day 12 or day 13, the number has stopped measuring your healing and started measuring your anxiety. A tracker should be something you glance at once a day, not a thing you consult like a slot machine.
What does day 7, 30, 60, and 90 actually mean?
The number by itself doesn’t tell you anything. What you do with each stretch does.
| Day | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | Initial urge to reach out has usually peaked and started to fade | Stay off their social media, keep your routine, don’t test the silence |
| 30 | Enough distance to think more clearly, less reactively | Take an honest look at what actually broke the relationship |
| 60 | Old patterns start to feel less automatic | Rebuild your own life: friends, work, hobbies you’d set aside |
| 90 | Enough time has passed to make a level-headed decision | Decide, with a clear head, whether reaching out even makes sense |
These aren’t hard deadlines. They’re checkpoints for asking better questions than “is it time yet.”
How do I use a tracker without letting it run me?
- Check it once a day, at a set time, not on impulse.
- At each milestone in the table above, do the actual work listed, not just note the number.
- If you catch yourself opening the app to soothe anxiety rather than to log progress, close it and do something else for ten minutes.
- Pair the counter with something that measures real change, like a short weekly note on how you’re actually feeling, not just how many days you’ve gone.
An app can count days. It can’t tell you whether you’ve done the work those days were supposed to buy you. If you’re checking the counter ten times a day, the problem isn’t the app.

What's the best free no contact app?
There's no single best one. A free browser-based tracker at lover-fighter.com/tools/no-contact-tracker needs no account or install. Dedicated apps like Let Them Go and NoContact are also free with optional upgrades.
Is there an app to track my no contact days without downloading anything?
Yes. A browser-based no-contact tracker works from any phone or computer without an install or login. Bookmark it and check in the same way you would with an app.
Do sober day counter apps work for no contact too?
Yes. A sober-day counter and a no-contact counter do the same job: count elapsed days since a defined start point. Any streak-tracking app works fine as a substitute.
Why doesn't a no contact tracker app tell me if I'm doing it right?
Because counting days measures time, not progress. An app can't tell you whether you've actually stopped checking your ex's social media, whether you've processed the breakup, or whether day 30 is the right moment to reach out. That judgment call is yours.
