What's new in Recovo

Recovo updates arrive through the App Store. Turn on automatic updates so new blocked sites reach you without you having to do anything.

1.3.10 · November 2026

We no longer use HeyCatch for product analytics. The usage stats we keep now stay in our own database, under a random device ID, and only while analytics is on in Settings.
A setback waiting to back up is no longer lost when iOS opens Recovo in the background on a locked phone.
Behind-the-scenes changes so future fixes reach you faster, without waiting for an App Store update.

A redesigned medium widget shows your climb to the next milestone and the time left on a running block.
Gambling Therapy joins Support Resources for people outside the US.
A simpler Home and Progress. Money Saved now sits right under your medals, and your setback history has moved to Journal.
Redesigned streak goal, Add a Partner, Request Unlock and sign-in screens. Goals now show the date you'll reach them.
A smoother first-time setup: go back to any step, start from a suggested block length, and add your reason for quitting, which comes back to you when an urge hits.
The National Problem Gambling Helpline button now calls 1-800-522-4700.
New sheets for entering amounts, dates and names, and clearer messages when something goes wrong.

Home shows your last seven days at a glance, and your day count rolls forward when a new day starts.
The "Having an urge?" sheet now has a breathing ring that guides you through the 90 seconds.
Reminders are rewritten: fresher wording day to day, no evening nudge on a day you've already journaled, and private lock-screen text by default.

Blocks now last their full length across a daylight saving change.

Share your streak as an image. It's private by default: the card says "days free" unless you choose to say what it's for or add the money you've kept.
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your day count at a glance. They say "days free", never what from.
A running block now counts down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

Safari site blocking now works on every supported iPhone. Before this update it only switched on for iOS 26.4 and newer.
Clearer blocking: Apple's Screen Time can block about 50 websites. If your list goes past that, Recovo now tells you some sites may still load, instead of saying they're blocked.
New "Send Us a Website to Block" option on the active block screen. We review every site sent in and add gambling sites to Recovo's Safari block list in an upcoming update.
16 more gambling sites blocked in Safari, including SpinBoss and Casino Rocket. Thank you to everyone who reported them.
Recovo now requires iOS 16 or later, the minimum Apple supports for Screen Time blocking.
