Ride the urge out.
It passes.
When an urge hits, start a 15-20 minute wave timer with grounding techniques — free forever — plus an optional AI companion that knows your specific trigger.
No account. No setup. Just one button.
One tap, right when it hits. No login, no form, no explaining yourself.
The wave starts. A slow breathing animation keeps you company while it rises and falls.
Pick a grounding technique, or talk it through with the companion. Either way, you rode it out.
It feels permanent.
It’s 15 to 20 minutes.
An urge always feels like it will only build until you give in. It doesn’t. Left alone, it rises, peaks, and fades — on its own, whether or not you act on it. UrgeStop just gives you something calm to hold onto while that happens.
An urge is a wave, not a verdict — most pass on their own in 15 to 20 minutes if you just stay on it a little longer. UrgeStop gives you that timer with a breathing-wave animation, a library of grounding techniques, and a counter of moments the urge didn't win — all free forever, offline, no account. On top, an optional AI companion gives short, warm coaching about your specific trigger, with a two-layer safety check running on every message so a real crisis always gets real help, never an AI reply.
The urge starts. It feels like it will only get worse.
It usually peaks here — the hardest, shortest part.
It fades on its own, whether you acted on it or not.
Something to do while you wait it out.
Eight ready techniques — 5-4-3-2-1 senses, cold water, box breathing and more — free forever. A few of what’s inside — every one of them free, no account needed.
Name five things you see, four you feel, three you hear.
Splash your face or hold something cold — it interrupts the spiral fast.
In for four, hold four, out four, hold four. A few rounds resets you.
A short walk gives the urge somewhere else to go.
"I'm noticing an urge" loosens its grip more than arguing with it does.
Ten minutes on something else is often all it takes.
Start a session from your home screen, and watch the countdown on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.
A counter that only ever goes up, plus a private history you can search by trigger.
It knows your urge, not a generic one.
A short, warm coach that knows your specific trigger and remembers what helped last time. Tell it what’s actually going on — the 9pm sugar craving, the doomscroll spiral, the cart you keep almost checking out — and it responds to that, not to a script.
So you’re never alone in a bad moment.
A two-layer safety check runs on every message — a real crisis gets real help resources, instantly. This isn’t a legal disclaimer we buried in a menu — it’s the one thing we were most careful about while building the companion.
Every message you send is scanned locally, offline, before it ever leaves your phone.
A second, separate check reviews it before any reply is generated — belt and suspenders, not one gate.
The AI conversation stops immediately. No reply is generated. You see real help instead.
You’re not alone right now
We stopped the conversation here because what you shared matters more than a reply from us. Please reach out to someone who can actually help.

Your messages to the AI companion
What you write to the AI companion is sent to our AI processing provider solely to generate a reply, and is not used to train AI models or stored beyond your request. A safety check runs on every message before any reply is generated.
The urge timer, grounding techniques, your trigger history and moments-won counter are stored only on your device and never leave it.
Ten minutes, and it usually passes.
I open it when I'm standing in front of the fridge at 11pm. Twenty minutes later I'm just tired, not eating.
The timer is honest about how long it actually takes. It doesn't pretend the urge disappears in thirty seconds.
I use it before I open a shopping app. By the time the wave passes, the cart usually isn't worth it anymore.
