Shift helps you drink less on weeknights by focusing on the moment before your usual first drink. Pick the weeknights you want to change, choose your usual drinking time, and select one non-drinking action to do first. When the evening cue shows up, Shift helps you start that action for 10 minutes before deciding whether to drink. The next morning, log what happened and how you feel. Over time, Shift shows which nights and actions help you wake up clearer and follow through the next day. Use Shift to: - Plan alcohol-free or lighter weeknights - Choose one action to do before drinking - Set optional evening and morning reminders - Save last night's outcome in one tap - Track clearer mornings and better follow-through - Review which actions helped most Shift is private by design. Your plan, evening outcomes, reminders, check-ins, and progress stay local on your device. Shift is for mindful drinking and habit support. It is not medical care, therapy, detox support, withdrawal support, addiction treatment, diagnosis, recovery support, or emergency support. If stopping alcohol could cause withdrawal symptoms, seek medical support. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
