Nibble helps you manage indulgent habits — not by quitting, but by understanding. Whether it’s snacks, cigarettes, weed, or screen time, Nibble helps you track your cravings and slowly build better timing between them. Start by logging every time you indulge. After a few days, turn on Moderation Mode — and let Nibble start helping you space things out, one decision at a time. Each habit appears as an altar. After every indulgence, it seals shut and starts a countdown. When the time is right, it opens again — signaling you're allowed to go for it. The more you wait, the longer it stays shut next time. See your gaps grow Watch your spacing improve with every decision. Nibble visualizes how much, how often, and how spaced your habits are — over days, weeks, and beyond. Customize for any habit Nibble works for whatever you’re trying to manage: weed, sugar, soda, social media, snacks, energy drinks — you name it. No guilt, just guidance Nibble doesn’t push you to quit. It helps you slow down, make smarter choices, and shift your patterns gradually — without shame or pressure. Lockscreen widgets and custom shortcuts Track your habits quickly with widgets and custom shortcuts — right from your home or lock screen.
