Bads vs Hold

Most habit apps want you to quit. Bads just wants to help you understand yourself. Log what happened, when, and where - in a simple conversation that takes seconds. Over time, Bads finds the patterns you couldn't see yourself: the Friday mornings, the commute home, the specific places where certain habits tend to show up. And when a tough moment hits, Bads is ready. It surfaces strategies that have helped others in the same situation: breathing techniques, physical resets, harm reduction tips. Tailored to your habits, available right when you need them. No streaks to break. No shame. Just awareness, and the tools to do something with it. What Bads does: - Conversational logging - quick, calm, no forms - Pattern detection - In-the-moment coping strategies and guides - Curated reading from trusted health sources - Works for alcohol, tobacco, weed, gambling, and more Progress isn't always a straight line. Bads meets you where you are.

Hold is a gentle urge interruption system for emotional eating and cravings. When an urge hits, you don't have to give in to autopilot or white-knuckle it. Hold will predict when the urge will hit and notify you. Open Hold, start a guided pause, and let the moment pass with you in control. HOW IT WORKS • Start a Hold the second a craving shows up • Ride out a calm, guided 10-minute pause — it keeps counting even if you put your phone down • Name what you're really feeling: stress, boredom, loneliness, tiredness, or reward • Choose a comfort swap and log what happened • Watch your patterns take shape over time WHY IT HELPS Most snacking isn't about hunger — it's about a feeling. Hold helps you notice the trigger, create a little space, and build a calmer relationship with food, one pause at a time.
