Build a life that doesn't need porn.
Sherpa turns the things you keep meaning to do into a daily climb. Fill your days up and porn stops being the most exciting thing in them.
Built around your life, not your last slip.
Most quit-porn apps are built around porn. Days since. Streaks. A reset button waiting for you to mess up.
Sherpa starts with the person you want to be and the things you want to be doing. Get busy chasing that, and porn starts to look like a waste of a good evening.
Your peak, in your words
- Becoming a runner who finishes a 5K before summer.
- Becoming a guitarist who can play a whole song at a party.
- Becoming someone who's asleep by 12 and actually makes the 8am.
- Becoming a builder who ships the app instead of just talking about it.
- Becoming a friend who stops bailing on plans.
- Becoming a student who walks into exams ready.
Tell Sherpa the thing you keep giving up on.
Guitar, the gym, drawing, cooking, whatever falls apart around week two. Sherpa builds a plan from habit science: steps small enough that they're hard to skip, tied to a time and place, with points every time you show up.
- Starts smaller than you think it should
- Every step earns Altitude Points
- Next week unlocks once you've climbed this one
Then it clears the path.
A new habit doesn't stand a chance at 1am with every trap one tap away. Shield blocks the social apps and browsers that usually start the spiral, during the hours you pick. Reach for them anyway and Sherpa sends you back to today's step.
- Block social apps and browsers on a schedule
- You choose the risky hours
- Swap the scroll for your next step
Keep the proof. You'll want it on the bad days.
Snap a photo after the run. Write two lines after a rough night. Scroll back whenever you doubt yourself.
- Photos and notes in one private diary
- Your peak at the top, in your own words
- Read back any week, whenever you need it
Five zones between you and the summit.
The climb is a game, on purpose. Finish steps, earn altitude and move up through five zones. Each one teaches something you'll need in the next.
- The Foothills of AwarenessNotice what sets you off, without judging it.
- The Forest of HabitMap your loops and swap in better ones.
- The Ridge of ResilienceLet urges pass like weather. They're not who you are.
- The Slopes of CompassionMess up, repair it, keep going.
- The Summit of ClarityLive by what you actually care about.
Altitude Points
Every step you finish earns AP. It's how you climb, and your signpost on Home always shows where you're at.
Oxygen
Your O₂ meter shows how steady you've been lately. It slides from green to yellow, orange and red when you drift, and fills back up when you show up.
New zones
Climb high enough and a new zone opens, with new scenery and new kinds of steps.
Gear for the climb
For the moments when it hits, the nights you need people, and the patterns you can't see from inside them.

The goal isn't to quit. It's to build a life you don't want to escape from.
Why knowing what you want beats white-knuckling it.
Porn relapse isn't failure. Turn shame into data.
A slip tells you something. Here's how to read it and keep climbing.
You're not broken. You're in a loop.
Cue, routine, reward. Once you can see the loop, you can change one piece of it.

Sherpa is a guide in your pocket for changing your relationship with porn. Instead of making porn the focus, it helps you build a life you'd rather be living: a plan for the things you want to get good at, a setup that makes the hard hours easier, and a diary of the climb so you can see what's changing.
No. Sherpa doesn't lecture you about porn. It helps you fill your days with things you actually want, like getting good at guitar, going to the gym, seeing friends, or sleeping before 2am. When those take up the space, porn has less room. You pick the goals, and Sherpa helps you show up for them one day at a time.
Anyone 18 or older who feels porn is taking more than it gives. Maybe you watch when you're bored or stressed, or at 3am when you meant to sleep. Maybe you've tried to stop on willpower and it didn't stick. If you want your time and focus back for the things you care about, Sherpa is built for you.
No. Sherpa is for anyone who wants to change their relationship with porn, whatever their gender. The plans, check-ins and tools work the same for everyone, and Base Camp is open to every climber.
You sign in with Apple or Google, and if you use Apple you can hide your real email from us. Your check-ins, plans and chats are saved to your account so they follow you to a new phone. We never sell your data, and nothing you write goes into our analytics. In Base Camp you can post as "a climber" with no name attached, and trail markers never show who left them. Want it all gone? Delete your account in the app or at sherpahabits.com/delete-account.
Yes. Sherpa is completely free to use.
