What Happened to QUITTR? Why It's Gone From the App Store (2026)

QUITTR is no longer available on the App Store or Google Play. It disappeared from both stores by October 31, 2026, and was still gone when we checked again on November 12, almost two weeks later: its App Store page returns an error in every country we checked, its developer account lists no apps, and its Google Play page is gone too. QUITTR’s website is still online, and the company hasn’t posted any public explanation. Because it disappeared from both stores at the same time, and has stayed gone for nearly two weeks, it looks less like a temporary hiccup or a single store rejecting one update, and more like a deliberate, possibly permanent withdrawal. That’s our reading, not something QUITTR has confirmed. If you were using QUITTR, here’s what it means for your subscription and your streak, and where to go next.

What we know (and what we don’t)

	Status (last checked November 12, 2026)
App Store	Not available. The listing returns an error in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, India and Brazil
App Store developer page	The “Quittr, LLC” account still exists but lists no apps
Google Play	Not available. The listing returns an error
quittrapp.com	Still online, still showing download buttons
Public statement	None that we could find

Here’s what both store pages showed when we checked on October 31, 2026:

QUITTR’s App Store page on October 31, 2026: apps.apple.com/us/app/quittr-break-free-now/id6532588521 shows “The page you’re looking for can’t be found.”

App Store: QUITTR’s listing returns “The page you’re looking for can’t be found.”

QUITTR’s Google Play page on October 31, 2026: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quittrapp.quittr_mobile_application_2 shows “We’re sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.”

Google Play: QUITTR’s listing returns “the requested URL was not found on this server.”

A week earlier, on October 24, both store listings were live, with QUITTR rated 4.7 from about 34,000 ratings on the US App Store. We don’t know why it was removed, whether it’s permanent, or what happens to the app’s servers. It has now been gone from both stores for at least 12 days, which makes a brief technical problem less likely, but only QUITTR can say. We’ll update this page if QUITTR says more.

Earlier in 2026: the QUITTR data exposure

The store removal isn’t the first problem QUITTR has had this year. On March 10, 2026, 404 Media reported that QUITTR had exposed intimate data from hundreds of thousands of its users, including their ages and how often they watched porn, and that many of them were minors. A follow-up on April 6, 2026 reported that at least three independent security researchers had warned the company about a misconfigured database for months before it was fixed.

The issue was fixed by March 2026, according to that reporting. We don’t know whether it has anything to do with the app leaving the stores now, and QUITTR hasn’t said. If you used QUITTR, it’s still worth knowing what data you shared with it.

What a QUITTR co-founder posted

On October 22, 2026, Alex Slater, who with Connor McLaren created QUITTR according to 404 Media, posted a single line on X:

A post by Alex Slater (@aslater) on X, October 22, 2026: “Does the world want to know what REALLY happened at QUITTR?”

Alex Slater on X, October 22, 2026. It has not been followed by an explanation that we could find.

It says a lot and nothing at the same time. It suggests something happened, but doesn’t say what, and it was posted two days before our October 24 check, when both store listings were still live. As of November 12 we haven’t found a follow-up post or statement that explains the removal, so we’re treating it as a hint, not an answer.

What QUITTR users are saying

Users in QUITTR’s own subreddit, r/quittr, saw this coming. Posts from around late September 2026 say the in-app community was already gone while the streak clock kept running, and members were canceling subscriptions, asking for refunds and saying goodbye:

Three posts from r/quittr: “this is genuinely sad”, “We demand refunds.” and “Before they shut it down.” Users say the community is gone, ask for refunds and say they canceled their subscriptions.

Posts in r/quittr, around late September 2026. Usernames blurred.

These are users’ own words, not an official statement. But the message in the first post is the right one: losing an app doesn’t mean losing your progress.

What to do if you were using QUITTR

Check your subscription. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel it. On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose QUITTR and tap Cancel Subscription. If there’s no cancel button, it’s already canceled. On Android, open play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions. Google says subscriptions are canceled automatically when the app is removed from Google Play, but it’s worth confirming. If you paid on QUITTR’s website instead, check your card statement and the receipt email for how to cancel.
Write down your streak start date. If the app stops working, your streak goes with it. Note the date now so you can carry it into another app.
Don’t leave a gap. The days right after losing a routine are risky. Set up your next tool today, not when you “feel ready”.
Replace the blocker. If QUITTR was your blocker, it won’t get updates anymore. Turn on a replacement before it stops working.

Is QUITTR free? And is there a desktop version?

QUITTR was never free. It had no free plan: you paid monthly, yearly or for lifetime, and whether you got a trial varied. With the app gone from both stores, there’s no way to start it on a new phone anyway.

On computers, QUITTR has a Chrome extension for blocking adult sites, separate from the phone apps. We haven’t verified whether it works without a paid QUITTR account, so if you’re relying on it, check that it’s still active in your browser.

Where to go next

Disclosure: SEVER is our product. We built SEVER. Other apps are described from their official websites and store listings.

The closest replacement is SEVER. It covers what QUITTR did (tracking, a structured plan, urge tools, a community and blocking on iPhone and Android) with one big difference in how you get in:

Your streak carries over. When you set SEVER up, enter your QUITTR streak start date instead of starting from zero.
The basics are free for good. Streak tracking, daily check-ins and relapse logs never need a subscription. QUITTR had no free plan.
Premium is optional: $6.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US (prices vary by country). It adds blocking in every browser (a web filter, Protection DNS and a content blocker for 200,000+ adult sites) plus App Shield, the 365-day Reset Plan, Fight the Urge, the private Tribe community and the recovery library.
Blocking that covers every browser. On iPhone, SEVER combines Apple’s web content filter with Protection DNS (which also locks SafeSearch), a Safari content blocker for 200,000+ adult sites, your own blocked sites, keywords and allowed sites, and App Shield for chosen apps. On Android it uses Private DNS plus browser and app checks, with no VPN. A protection lock makes you wait 15 minutes, 1 hour or 24 hours before weakening it. Your browsing history is never saved or sent.

If SEVER isn’t the right fit, our QUITTR alternatives guide compares five more options, including Brainbuddy, Fortify, BlockerX, Covenant Eyes and a free setup. For a feature-by-feature look, see SEVER vs QUITTR.

Methodology

We checked QUITTR’s App Store listing, Apple’s app lookup in seven countries, its App Store developer page, its Google Play listing and its website on October 31, 2026, compared them with our October 24 records, and checked them again on November 2, November 5 and November 12, 2026. Cancellation steps come from Apple’s and Google’s own support pages. Details of the 2026 data exposure come from 404 Media’s reporting, linked above. We don’t speculate about why QUITTR was removed; this page will change if the company makes a statement.

Frequently asked questions

Did QUITTR shut down?

QUITTR hasn't announced anything publicly. What we can confirm is that it disappeared from the stores by October 31, 2026, and as of November 12 it's still not available on the App Store or Google Play, and its developer account on the App Store lists no apps. Its website is still online. After almost two weeks, a short-lived glitch looks less likely, but QUITTR hasn't said whether the removal is permanent.

Why can't I find QUITTR on the App Store?

Because it isn't listed anymore. Its App Store page returns an error in every country we checked, and searching the App Store for QUITTR doesn't show it. It's gone from Google Play too.

Did QUITTR have a data leak?

Yes, according to 404 Media. In March 2026 it reported that QUITTR had exposed intimate data from hundreds of thousands of users, including ages and porn habits, through a misconfigured database. A follow-up said security researchers had warned the company for months before it was fixed. It isn't known whether this is connected to the app's removal from the stores.

Will QUITTR keep charging me?

Check. On Android, Google says a subscription is canceled automatically when its app is removed from Google Play. Apple doesn't say what happens, so on iPhone open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel it there if it's still active. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription.

Does QUITTR still work on my phone?

An app removed from the store usually stays installed, but it won't get updates, and anything that depends on the company's servers can stop at any time. If you delete it, you may not be able to reinstall it.

Is QUITTR free?

No. QUITTR had no free plan: it was a paid subscription, monthly, yearly or lifetime, and whether you got a trial varied. If you want something free, SEVER's streak tracking, daily check-ins and relapse logs are free for good.

Does QUITTR have a desktop app or Chrome extension?

QUITTR has a Chrome extension for blocking adult sites on a computer, separate from its phone apps. We haven't verified whether it works without a paid QUITTR account. The phone apps themselves are gone from the App Store and Google Play.

What's the best QUITTR alternative now?

SEVER is the closest match: streak tracking, a structured 365-day plan, urge tools, a community and blocking on iPhone and Android. Its tracking is free for good, and Premium is $6.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US (prices vary by country). You can carry your streak over by entering its start date.
