Agnus Dei
Lamb of God.
“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
John 1:29
When the urge hits at 11:47 p.m., you press one button and you are not alone for sixty seconds.

The problem
It comes alone, late, without warning.
At that exact moment there is no one to text and nothing to read. Willpower alone, you have already tried. Agnus fills those sixty seconds.
The one thing
Two counters. Only one can fall.
Days clean
40days
Back to zero after a relapse. It is everybody's counter.
Urges beaten
61urges
It never goes down. A relapse does not erase it.
A man who relapses on day 40 believes he lost everything. Agnus shows him he has beaten sixty-one urges, and that this number is untouched. That is the whole difference between an app that punishes and an app that walks with you.
What is inside
Five things. Not fifty.
A button for the hard nights
One tap from any screen. The phone vibrates to guide your breath — in for four seconds, hold, out for six. Eyes closed, no sound, no earphones, no signal needed. Then a verse, a prayer, and “feeling better?”
A counter down to the second
Days, hours, minutes. And the date of your day 90 written underneath, so the finish line has a face.
A word every day
A verse, a short prayer, and thirty written steps whose focus shifts with what actually knocks you down: boredom, loneliness, stress.
Stats that explain
What comes before a relapse, your risky hours, and sentences like “your mood is lower on the days you are alone.” Never a grade.
A door you close in advance
Agnus pauses the apps you choose during the window where you fall, and turns on the iOS web filter. Screen Time enforces it, even with the app closed — and Apple never tells us what you picked.
Our promise
What Agnus will never do.
Grade you day after day.
The intake questionnaire gives a score once, compared to a benchmark described in our code — not to an invented average. After that, never again.
Compare you to other people.
No leaderboard, no rank, no “you are among the worst.” Your only reference is yesterday's you.
Shame you.
“I relapsed” triggers no judgement. The day counter restarts; what you learned stays.
Trap you with the price.
You try the emergency button for real before you see a single figure. And when the price comes, it says everything: length, renewal, cancellation.
What is Agnus?
Questions
What people ask us.
How much does Agnus cost?
€26.99 for three months, or €10.99 per month. There is no free trial and no free tier: the whole app sits behind the subscription. It renews on its own and can be cancelled at any time in your iPhone settings.
Is there an Android version?
Not today. Agnus is an iPhone app. Nothing has been decided about Android.
Does the score tell me whether I am addicted?
No. The intake questionnaire is not a diagnosis, and Agnus is neither a medical device nor a substitute for a health professional. The score marks a starting point, appears once, and never comes back inside the app.
Does the button work without internet?
Yes. The breathing, the counters, the daily verse and the prayer all live on your phone. The network is only used to back up your streak if you create an account, and to read full books of the Bible.
Can anyone see my answers?
No. They stay on your iPhone. If you create an account to back up your streak, only your counters and daily check-ins go to our server: they are never sold, shared, or used for advertising.
Do I have to create an account?
No. We only offer it after the subscription, and “Later” still lets you in. Apple and Google only: no email, no password to remember.
Which Bible translation?
The World English Bible in English, Louis Segond 1910 in French. Both are in the public domain.
Does Agnus really block sites and apps?
Yes, by leaning on Screen Time — Apple's own mechanism. You pick the apps to pause during a time window, and the web filter switches on. iOS enforces the block, even when Agnus is closed. We never see what you picked: Apple does not give us the names.
Your button, for next time.
The night, the boredom, the endless feed. It will come back. The only question is what you do in the sixty seconds that follow.
