Most habit apps want you to quit. Bads just wants to help you understand yourself. Log what happened, when, and where - in a simple conversation that takes seconds. Over time, Bads finds the patterns you couldn't see yourself: the Friday mornings, the commute home, the specific places where certain habits tend to show up. And when a tough moment hits, Bads is ready. It surfaces strategies that have helped others in the same situation: breathing techniques, physical resets, harm reduction tips. Tailored to your habits, available right when you need them. No streaks to break. No shame. Just awareness, and the tools to do something with it. What Bads does: - Conversational logging - quick, calm, no forms - Pattern detection - In-the-moment coping strategies and guides - Curated reading from trusted health sources - Works for alcohol, tobacco, weed, gambling, and more Progress isn't always a straight line. Bads meets you where you are.
