## What is Urge?

Urge helps you take control of your habits by creating healthy intervals between usage. Whether you're managing nicotine pouches, cigarettes, or other habits, Urge provides the structure and motivation you need to find balance.

KEY FEATURES

Smart Timer System
Set precise intervals between each usage — from 15 minutes up to 8 hours, in 15-minute steps. The app tracks your timing and helps you maintain consistent patterns throughout the day.

Auto-Progression
Let Urge gradually increase your intervals week by week. Set a target interval and a timeframe, and the app automatically adjusts your schedule so you improve without even thinking about it.

Detailed Statistics
Monitor your progress with comprehensive tracking. See your daily patterns, streaks, and improvements over time.

Daily Streak Goals
Build momentum by maintaining your streak. The app celebrates your consistency and motivates you to keep going.

Panic Mode
Sometimes life happens. When you need flexibility, panic mode allows occasional breaks from your routine while keeping your long-term progress intact.

Dynamic Island Integration
See your timer at a glance with Dynamic Island support on iPhone 14 Pro and later. Fully localized in 26 languages.

Widgets & Live Activities
Stay on track with Live Activities that keep your progress visible on the lock screen throughout the day.

Encouraging Feedback
Get motivational messages that adapt to your progress, celebrating successes and providing support when you need it.

WHY URGE?

- Increase time between usage naturally
- Set up automatic weekly progression toward your goal

- Track your progress visually
- Stay motivated with daily goals
