Breaking the Cycle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Breaking the Cycle is a private, judgment-free space to understand your patterns and build the life you want — one day at a time. Whether you're working on a substance, a behavior, or a thought pattern, this app gives you real tools for the moment an urge hits, and a clearer picture of your cycle over time. BREAK THE CYCLE, RIGHT NOW When an urge hits, start the timer. Ride it out with guided breathing, grounding exercises, or a reminder of exactly why you started. No shame if you slip — the app tracks your total journey right alongside your current streak, because one hard day doesn't erase your progress. YOUR CYCLE, VISUALIZED Map your own version of the trigger, build-up, giving in, acting out, and aftermath cycle, in your own words. As you log real moments, a simple wheel lights up to show exactly where you're getting stuck most, so you know what to actually work on. COPING TOOLS THAT MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE - Guided breathing (box breathing, 4-7-8, and more) - 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercises - Quick mood check-ins - Thought reframing for hard moments - Small daily challenges to build new habits YOUR PRIVACY, PROTECTED Everything you write stays on your device. Journal summaries are generated entirely on-device, nothing you write is ever sent anywhere. NEVER ALONE Crisis resources, including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and Crisis Text Line, are one tap away from every single screen. Breaking the Cycle is free to use, with optional ads on a few screens. A one-time $1.99 purchase removes them completely. Every coping tool, the journal, and the cycle wheel are free either way. This app is a support tool. It supplements, but never replaces, professional care.
