Crest - Ride Out Cravings

A JOURNAL THAT FILLS ITSELF IN Crest has a third tab. Every day you logged an urge colours itself by how hard that day was, so the month is already a picture before you write a word. Tap the month name and it pulls back to the whole year at once. Tap any day to see what happened on it and add a line. Everything you wrote that month sits under the grid, so your own words are on the surface instead of buried a tap deep inside a date. That includes what you wrote before there was a Journal to write it in. Notes you left on a surf - during it, or in the log afterwards - are in there too, marked so you can tell them apart. They stay on the surf they belong to and are still edited there; the Journal just stopped pretending they did not exist. DECIDE BEFORE THE URGE ARRIVES Write one line about what you'll do next time, and Crest gives it back to you mid-urge. It drafts the first version from what actually beats you, and it appears on your Home screen and on your widget. PROOF THAT IT'S WORKING The card on Home says it in a sentence now instead of a fraction, and it names exactly what it counts. Once you've rated twenty surfs it changes job. By then you know urges pass, so it starts answering the next question instead: how much further they're falling now than they used to. Your best streak and your count for the week moved to Progress, where the rest of the numbers already were. IT LEARNS WHICH TOOL WORKS After a surf, Crest asks one question: did anything help? Over time it stops offering eight options at the worst possible moment and starts leading with the one that works for you. WIDGETS The Home Screen widget has the wave in it now. During a surf the water rises through the climb, stands highest at the crest, and visibly drains as it passes, so a glance tells you not just how long is left but whether the worst of it is behind you. Lock Screen widgets are new: a ring and a countdown, the phase and what's coming next, or a single line. The Live Activity keeps up with the surf now, so the phase on your Lock Screen changes as the wave does even while your phone is in your pocket. When the twenty-five minutes are up it says so, and then reminds you the surf is still waiting to be logged. Swipe it away whenever you like. ONE SET OF COLOURS Every intensity number in the app now uses the same scale, running from a calm blue up to coral. Four different places used to draw the same number four different ways, so a 7 could be orange on one screen and green on the next. Your ratings are unchanged. They finally agree with each other. The category colours are calmer too, and the charts, the time-of-day grid and the streak flame now sit inside Crest's own palette instead of borrowing system colours. ALSO NEW • Log an urge that already passed, without running a timer • Tap the phase name mid-surf to read why it works • "That's 12 in a row" after a surf, once you have a run going
