When the urge hits, you don't have to sit with it alone. Neap is a quiet companion for people who want to stop gambling. It doesn't judge you, lecture you, or make you promise "never again". It simply helps you get through the hard few minutes β€” and as those minutes add up, the rest gets easier. The name and icon are deliberately neutral, so you can carry it on your phone without explaining anything to anyone. WHAT THE APP DOES In the moment, it gives you something concrete to hold on to: paced breathing, a timer to wait out the wave, the reasons you wrote in your own words, and the number of someone you trust. In calmer moments, you map your triggers, build routines that meet the same need gambling did, and watch the money you didn't gamble add up. HIGHLIGHTS β€’ SOS urge flow β€” one tap away. 4-4-6 breathing, a 20-minute countdown, a plain-language reminder of how the odds actually work, your own reason cards, and a one-tap call to your trusted person. Urges usually fade in 20-30 minutes; the flow is built to carry you across exactly that window. β€’ Crisis support β€” reachable in one tap from every screen. In TΓΌrkiye, YEDAM 115 (free, confidential, 24/7) and emergency services can be dialled directly; elsewhere you are pointed to your own country's lines. Crisis tools stay free, always. β€’ Clean-day counter β€” your current streak, your longest streak and your total clean days. Even if the counter restarts one day, your total stays with you. β€’ Savings tracker β€” based on your own monthly estimate, it shows the money that didn't go to gambling and how close it brings you to a goal you choose (rent, debt, a trip, a phone). β€’ Trigger map β€” log urges with intensity, emotion, place and who you were with, and your pattern becomes visible over time. If-then plans take the decision off your shoulders in the hard moment. β€’ Shields β€” practical layers that put time between the urge and the act: setting up BetBlocker, Screen Time restrictions, DNS blocking, clearing out promo notifications and emails, a cash plan, and a trusted contact. Each one is explained step by step. β€’ Slip flow β€” if you slipped, you're still here. You record what happened, calmly; your total clean days and longest streak are never erased. A slip is not the end of the road. β€’ Daily rituals β€” an optional short morning commitment and a two-question evening check-in. Nothing is mandatory. OUR PRIVACY PROMISE No account. No email. No server. Everything you write β€” urge logs, reasons, amounts, the number of the person you trust β€” stays on this phone in an encrypted database. There is not a single network request in the app's code, so the data cannot technically be sent anywhere. No ad networks, no analytics, no tracking. You can export most of your data any time β€” the export states exactly what it covers β€” and erase all of it with one tap. COMPLETELY FREE The entire app is free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no ads. We take no advertising or sponsorship money from the gambling industry, and no betting site is linked from any screen. IMPORTANT Neap is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, and it is not a substitute for assessment by a doctor, psychologist or addiction specialist. Its content is informational and supportive. You must be over 18 to use the app. If you are in immediate danger, please call your local emergency number.
