About

Summit

Read full description

Most apps hand you a day counter and a website blocker, then leave you alone the moment an urge actually hits. Summit is built for that exact moment. When the urge comes, you open Summit and it gives you one specific technique to get through the next 60 seconds. Not willpower. Not shame. A real, practical action you can take right now. The urge button is free. WHAT MAKES SUMMIT DIFFERENT • In-the-moment interventions — 20 evidence-based techniques drawn from CBT, ACT, and Stoic practice: urge surfing, thought defusion, box breathing, cold shock, physical resets, and more. Five are free; Summit Pro unlocks all of them. • Matched to you (Summit Pro): the SOS weighs your mood, where you are, how strong the urge is and what has worked for you before, then tells you why it picked that technique. • Trigger insights (Summit Pro): see your urge patterns by time of day, context and mood, and watch them change as you rewire your habits. • Streaks that mean something — every urge you beat builds momentum. Track your progress, hit milestones, and stay motivated. • A Reframe library — short, science-backed reads that retrain how you think about the habit. Some are free; Summit Pro opens the full library. BUILT ON A SIMPLE IDEA Urges are waves. They peak and they pass—usually in minutes. You don't need to be stronger than the wave. You need a plan for the 90 seconds it's cresting. Summit is that plan, in your pocket. SECULAR. NON-SHAMING. PRIVATE. No lectures. No fear-mongering. No sharing your business with anyone. Just a calm, well-made tool that treats you like an adult trying to build discipline—whether you call it a reboot, PMO recovery, or just getting your focus and time back. Start today. The next urge is coming. Be ready for it. — Summit is free to download. Every feature is free for your first 7 days, with no payment needed. After that, the urge button with five core techniques, your streak, milestones and part of the library stay free. Summit Pro is optional. It adds techniques matched to you, all 20 techniques, your urge patterns, the full library and the leaderboard. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (Annual or Monthly), or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscription options: • Annual (auto-renewing) • Monthly (auto-renewing) A one-time Lifetime purchase is also available for unlimited access with no recurring charge (charged once at purchase). Exact prices are shown in the app in your local currency before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. Your subscription renews automatically at the same price each period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
