## What is Not This Time?

Pause before a craving becomes action.
Not This Time is a simple 3-minute craving timer for the moment you want to eat but wish you could wait first.
When food cravings hit, they can feel urgent. This app helps you slow down, notice the urge, and give it a few minutes before you decide what to do next.

----

How it works:
- Choose what you’re craving
- Start a 3-minute pause
- Listen to the ticking timer
- Stay with the craving as it rises and fades
- Decide again when the timer ends

----

Cravings are not always the same as hunger.
Sometimes they come from stress, emotion, habit, boredom, or late-night snack impulses. Not This Time gives you a small space between the urge and the action.

----

Useful for moments like:
- Emotional eating urges
- Stress eating
- Late-night snacking
- Overeating impulses
- Cravings during a diet or fat-loss phase
- Wanting more control before you eat

----

Free features:
- 3-minute craving timer
- Simple craving check-in
- Ticking sound
- Local history
- No account required

----

Upgrade to Pro for extra support:
- Soothing white noise
- Guided voice support
- 5-minute and 10-minute timers
- More options for stronger craving moments

----

Not This Time is not about fighting yourself.
It is about giving yourself one small pause before the next bite.
