No-contact advice does not override safety.
Blocking, announcing a boundary or changing account access can sometimes escalate risk. A local domestic-violence advocate can help plan the safest sequence for devices, accounts, location sharing, documentation and communication.
Essential contact can still be a boundary.
Shared children, work, housing, finances, property, health and legal processes may require communication. Consider one written channel, practical topics, defined response times and professional advice appropriate to your situation. The goal is not perfect silence; it is safer, smaller and more predictable contact.
What the app does not monitor.
No Contact is not a surveillance app. Airlock uses Apple Screen Time frameworks to shield selections you make; it does not read your messages or browsing. The browser-only draft in the urgent guide is not submitted or stored by this website.
When to step outside the app.
- Immediate danger or risk of harm: local emergency services.
- Threats, stalking, coercion or abuse: a local specialist safety service.
- Persistent distress affecting sleep, work or daily function: a qualified health professional.
- Custody, property, immigration or legal obligations: qualified local legal advice.
