The lasting way to break a bad habit is to replace it with something better. Tell Replacify what you struggle with, and it matches you with a replacement path that fills the same time, energy and need your old habit used to. Then it stays with you, step by step, until the new habit is yours. SOS: YOUR CRAVING EMERGENCY BUTTON When a craving hits, one tap opens your SOS toolkit. You get an activity matched to your struggle, a guided timer to ride out the urge, and a check-in afterward so you can see your patterns. SOS is free for every user, forever.
