Your sleep schedule is off. Phase shifts it back — one day at a time. Phase is a guided program that fixes your broken sleep schedule through small, progressive daily shifts. No vague advice. No endless tracking. Just a clear plan that moves your bedtime and wake time closer to your goal — 15 minutes at a time. Tell Phase when you currently sleep, when you want to sleep, and it builds a personalized day-by-day plan to get you there. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a program that fits your situation - Set your current and goal sleep times - Get a personalized day-by-day schedule - Follow science-backed daily nudges - Watch your sleep shift into place 6 SLEEP PROGRAMS Phase is not one-size-fits-all. Pick the program that matches your situation: - Sleep Schedule Reset — the original 14-day phase shift - Night Owl Fix — stop going to bed at 3 AM - Jet Lag Recovery — get back on local time fast - Weekend Drift Reset — fix the Sunday-night-to-Monday-morning gap - Shift Work Transition — adjust to a new work schedule - Early Riser Challenge — become a morning person in two weeks YOUR DAILY NUDGES Every day, Phase gives you timed nudges based on your schedule and your local sunrise and sunset: - Morning Light — get sunlight early to reset your internal clock - Caffeine Cutoff — stop caffeine at the right time so it does not interfere with sleep - Screen Dim — reduce blue light before bed to protect melatonin - Wind Down — start your pre-sleep routine at the right moment - Bedtime — hit the pillow at your new target time All nudge times adjust automatically as your schedule shifts forward each day. Toggle nudges on or off and fine-tune timing to fit your life. WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITY - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for sun position, nudge checklist, bedtime countdown, and sleep stats - Bedtime Live Activity — a countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as bedtime approaches - Bedtime alarm that rings through Silent Mode and Do Not Disturb WHAT MAKES PHASE DIFFERENT - A real program, not a tracker — a clear plan with a finish line - Location-aware — nudge times sync with your actual sunrise and sunset - Works offline — no account, no login, no cloud - Science-backed — based on circadian rhythm research - Beautiful Sun Arc — a visual map of your day showing light, nudges, and targets - Schedule exceptions — have an early flight? Adjust one day without breaking your plan - Takes 30 seconds to set up TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your journey laid out. Check off each day. Build streaks. Get encouragement when you need it. Know exactly how far you have come and how close you are to your goal. HEALTHKIT INTEGRATION Phase reads your sleep, sunlight, exercise, and caffeine data from Apple Health to auto-verify nudges and show activity bars on your daily timeline. Phase never writes to HealthKit — your data stays yours. BUILT FOR FOCUS No charts. No dashboards. No social features. Phase does one thing and does it well — it fixes your sleep schedule. Your body has a clock. Phase helps you reset it. Terms of Use: https://www.theblackholecompany.com/termsConditions.html

You already know how many days it has been. SoberPath shows you what those days are actually worth — and what keeps getting in the way. TRACK WHAT MATTERS • A live counter down to the second, from the day you choose • Money saved and units avoided, in your own currency • Health milestones with the date you reached each one • Cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, caffeine, social media, gambling — or write your own A JOURNAL BUILT FOR CRAVINGS Tap a mood and write a line. Over time those lines become the most useful thing in the app: a record of what sets you off, and what got you through it. INSIGHTS THAT NAME THE PATTERN Once a week, SoberPath reads back your recent entries and tells you what it sees — the hours your cravings cluster in, the situations behind them, and the responses that have actually worked for you. A SLIP IS NOT THE END Log a slip and choose whether your streak continues or restarts. Either way, everything you have already done stays in your stats. Progress here is never all-or-nothing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal stays on your device. Daily questions and reflections are generated on-device and never leave it. Weekly insights send a short, anonymised digest — no name, no dates, no account. There is no sign-up. ARABIC AND ENGLISH Fully localised, right-to-left included, switchable inside the app. SOBERPATH PRO Unlimited habits, AI reflections and weekly insights, full statistics, the sobriety calendar, and Home & Lock Screen widgets. SoberPath is a tracking and reflection tool. It is not medical treatment, and not a substitute for professional support.
