In short

Curtail is a quit-habit app for cravings across sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, shopping, short video, caffeine, or custom habits. A one-tap SOS pod offers a 20-minute urge-surfing timer, breathing animation, and an on-device AI coach that works offline. Slips do not erase the longest streak, total progress, or garden.

About

Most quit apps punish you for being human: a slip wipes your streak, and when the craving actually hits, the app is nowhere. Curtail is built the other way around. When a craving strikes, one tap opens a full-screen rescue pod with a 20-minute urge-surfing timer, a calming breathing animation, and an AI coach that works offline. And when you do slip, nothing is erased - your longest record, your total progress, and your garden all stand.

WHAT YOU GET

- SOS Rescue Pod: 3 seconds from craving to calm. A 20-minute urge-surfing timer with wave-breathing animation and an on-device AI coach you can talk to - even offline. - Permanent Record: A slip only ends the current chapter. Your longest streak, total clean time, and every wave you rode are kept forever. - Shame-Free Logging: Log a slip in 10 seconds with a slider and two taps. The AI responds with zero judgment, one insight, and one strategy for next time. Every past entry stays editable. - Multiple Profiles: Track sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, vape and nicotine, shopping, short video, caffeine, or anything custom. Want to drink less, quit for good, or taper slowly? Pick abstinence or taper mode per profile - all in one app with a unified timeline. - Trigger Radar: A private heatmap shows when cravings strike (weekday x time of day) plus your top emotional triggers. Computed on your device, never uploaded. - Growth Garden: Every day you hold and every craving you ride makes your garden grow. Export a share card showing your longest record and total progress - not your failures. - Apple Watch SOS: A wrist-sized rescue button with haptic breathing, so help is there even when your phone is not. - Lock-Screen Widget and Live Activity: Start surfing straight from your lock screen and watch the wave pass in real time. - Privacy First: No account, no analytics, no ads. Your data lives on your device with optional private iCloud sync, and you can export everything as JSON or CSV anytime. - Honest Progress: Whether your goal is sobriety, a sugar detox, or fewer late-night scroll sessions, Curtail counts your sober days, your streaks, and the urges you resist - a clean counter for the whole journey of addiction recovery. - Food Label Scan: Point your camera at a nutrition label and Curtail flags hidden sugar aliases the front label hides (Pro).
