4 Apps to keep you from contacting your ex after a breakup

Resisting the urge to call or text your ex after a breakup could be difficult. Sometimes, we contact our exes and immediately regret it. Well, technology is here to help us in that regard. Isn’t it wonderful?

Wondering what kind pf technology could do such? Well, here are 4 applications that can keep you from contacting your ex after a breakup.

1. KillSwitch

Stop creeping on him over Facebook!

Launched on Valentine’s Day (oh, the irony), this deadly-named app is a program that removes all traces of your ex from Facebook with a single click. That means photos, posts, etc.

This is a last resort ex-blocker because once it’s done, you lose everything and anything your ex was tagged in (making it awkward if you had mutual friends).

But the nice thing is at least someone benefits from your heartbreak — KillSwitch donates part of their proceeds to the American Heart Association.

2. Drunk Mode Keyboard

This does the trick on nights when five gin martinis take precedence over dinner. This app replaces your QWERTY keyboard with art or has different settings like translating your set language to something foreign, so you will absolutely not know what you’re even trying to say!

If anything, you’ll probably get distracted by it and then not try to text your ex!

3. Set up a mail filter

There’s probably nothing worse than checking your inbox just to see a surprise email from your ex asking when he can come by and pick up his last box of stuff (cue, heart drop).

Almost all major services give you the option to opt-out of emails from a specific address.

In Gmail, you can block your ex by filtering emails. Open a message from your ex and click “more” in the right-hand corner to drop open options. From there, you can select to filter out your ex. That way, you still receive your ex’s messages (in the event of an emergency), but they don’t flood your inbox.

4. Focus Lock
While this app may not be geared specifically toward ex-lovers, it will do the trick if you’re trying not to contact someone and losing to the urge!

Focus Lock allows you to choose which apps on your phone you don’t want access to and then sets an adjustable timer so that you can’t use that portion until you’re feeling more in your right mind.
