PauseEat vs Curb

Food addiction isn't your fault—it just requires a scientific approach and gentle support. PauseEat helps you regain control over your relationship with food, stopping the cycle of "regret after eating" through mindfulness and behavioral psychology. PauseEat is not a calorie counter. It is a specialized tool for overcoming binge eating, emotional eating, and food dependency. ### KEY FEATURES **3-Minute Impulse Interception** When the urge strikes, give reason a chance to catch up. * **Guided Breathing:** One-tap access to visual breathing exercises to calm physiological urges. * **Audio Therapy:** Built-in white noise (Rain/Forest) and gentle voice cues to shift your focus. * **Post-Calm Check:** A simple assessment after the 3-minute window to evaluate your urge intensity. **Scenario-Based Warnings** Proactively avoid high-risk moments. * **Smart Triggers:** Set custom alerts for specific scenarios like "Weekend Home Alone" or "Work Stress." * **Advance Alerts:** Get notified 15 minutes before high-risk times to prepare your mental defenses. * **Location Awareness:** Receive reminders when nearing trigger locations (e.g., convenience stores). **Alternative Action Library** Replace old habits with positive choices. * **Curated Solutions:** Access a library of actions categorized by need (e.g., "Feeling Low" → "5-min Stretch"). * **Actionable Steps:** Each alternative comes with clear steps to lower the barrier to action. * **Customization:** Build your own personalized toolkit of coping mechanisms. **Impulse Journaling & Analytics** See the patterns to change them. * **One-Tap Logging:** Quickly record triggers, emotions, and contexts without tedious typing. * **Heatmaps:** Visualize your high-risk times of day and week. * **Monthly Insights:** Discover which emotions trigger you most and which alternative actions work best. **Supportive Community** * **Anonymous Sharing:** Post your "Impulse Diary" safely to receive encouragement. * **Topic Squares:** Discuss coping strategies and success stories. * **Mutual Aid Groups:** Form small, private groups for accountability. ### WHY PauseEat? * **Healing Design:** A mint-green, low-pressure interface designed to reduce anxiety, not add to it. * **Positive Reinforcement:** Earn growth points for every impulse resisted and every log made. * **Privacy First:** Your data is encrypted and community features support full anonymity. ### SUBSCRIPTION & TERMS This APP is currently offering a "Free Experience" period.

It's not 2pm when you fail your diet. It's 2am. You're tired. Your willpower is gone. And DoorDash is one tap away. Curb is the app you open instead. No meal plans. No calorie counting. No streaks you have to maintain perfectly. Just — one button, at the moment the craving hits, that reminds you why you started. **HOW IT WORKS** When alcoholics want to drink, they call their sponsor. That one interaction is enough to break the loop. Nobody built that for food. Until now. Open the app. See your goal photo. Remember your reason. See how many days you have left. That's it. The craving passes. You win. **WHAT'S INSIDE** • Your photo — your goal body, your before photo, someone you want to be there for • Your reason — the truest thing you've got, in your own words • Your countdown — days until the moment that matters • Your streak — every day you open this instead of ordering out **THE SLIDESHOW** Press I'M STRUGGLING and Curb walks you through 4 cards — your photo, your reason, your countdown, your streak — each one a reminder of what you're doing this for. It ends with the numbers: cravings curbed, calories saved, money saved, days remaining. Then two buttons: I'M STAYING STRONG. I SLIPPED TODAY. No judgment either way. Just honesty. **THE SLIP FLOW** Slipping doesn't break your streak. The next time you open the app, Curb asks: was it worth it? Over time it builds your regret percentage — the number that tells you whether caving actually makes you feel better. Spoiler: it usually doesn't. **WHO THIS IS FOR** You eat well during the day. You fall apart at night. You've tried apps before and they didn't stick because they were built for your best self, not your 2am self. Curb is built for 2am. **FREE FOREVER** The core experience — photo, reason, countdown, slideshow, win/slip tracking — is completely free. No paywalls on the thing that actually works. Premium unlocks multiple photos and reasons so the slideshow never gets stale, plus an alternatives card with exit ramps when you need options instead of willpower. --- Download Curb. Open it before you open DoorDash.
