## What is Sprout Wave?

Temptation comes in waves. Ride it out.

Sprout Wave is a simple Apple Watch utility that helps you resist cravings and impulses using urge surfing — a technique from behavioral psychology.
The science is simple: most cravings peak and fade within 60–90 seconds if you don't act on them. Sprout Wave gives you exactly what you need in that moment — a timer, a breathing guide, and a calming visual — so you can ride the wave instead of giving in.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Feel a craving. Tap the complication or open the app.
2. Watch the wave rise and fall as you breathe through it.
3. At 90 seconds, check in — did the wave pass, or are you still riding?
4. Reflect honestly. No judgment. Just the next step.

WHAT SPROUT WAVE HELPS WITH
Eating • Smoking • Vaping • Alcohol • Drugs • Gambling • Shopping • Social Media • Gaming • Caffeine • Anger • Pornography • and more

FEATURES
— 90-second animated wave timer that visually mirrors a craving: rises, peaks, and drains away
— Apple-style breathe in / breathe out guidance with haptic cues
— Live heart rate monitoring — a gentle nudge when your HR spikes during a craving
— Rotating encouragement messages tailored to your category
— Compassionate reset — no shame if you gave in, just the next step
— Customizable category list with your own priority order
— Watch face complication and Smart Stack widget for instant access
— No account. No subscription. No tracking. Just you and the wave.

THE SPROUT PHILOSOPHY
Sprout Wave doesn't track streaks or show you charts. It exists for one moment: the moment you feel the pull. Small wins grow big change.
