Maureen vs Hold

Maureen is your everyday companion toolkit for structured eating, without the dietary rules. Whether you eat more than you meant to, less than you need, or simply want a steadier rhythm around meals, you're in the right place. YOUR DAILY SUPPORT • Meal Plan: Cut decision fatigue by planning the week's meals ahead of time. Optionally log what you've had, link a recipe, and save your favorites. • Recipes Library & Cook Mode: Organize your recipes and steady the cooking, with step-by-step guidance and timers that follow along. Cooking for more? The ingredients scale with the servings. • Pacer: Give every meal a beginning and an end with gentle bite cues and a short rest in between, at a pace that you set. Task Timer brings the same shape to your to-do entries and marks them done for you when completed. • The Ladder: Turn intentions into small visible wins. Set repeating routines or one-off tasks like groceries under To-do, or score what you've been avoiding under Climb to build an exposure hierarchy you take one rung at a time. • Daily Check-in: Give the day a weather report. Log your mood in one tap, as often as the day changes. • Insights: See what a month was actually made of. Your behaviors drawn as a calendar of the period you're looking at, alongside your check-ins, moods and activity. • Reflections: Write as the day goes, on one running timeline. Look back at any entry whenever you want it. IN THE MOMENT Equip yourself with coping strategies and regulation techniques grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). • Urge Surfing: Let an urge rise and fall on its own without acting on it. Name it, rate the intensity, and breathe through the peak while it passes. Noticing it is the practice. • Breathwork: Settle your nervous system directly when the pull feels physical, with breathing exercises and somatic techniques: Physiological Sigh, Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Body Scan, and Progressive Muscle Relaxation. • Grounding: Come back to the room when your head is somewhere else. Work down from five things you can see to the one you can taste, with voice guidance to walk you through it. COMMUNITY • Forum: Connect with people who don't need it explained. Share small wins, advice, strategies, recipes, or find an accountability buddy. Post anonymously any time, because privacy matters here. • Messages: Talk to someone one to one. Requests, blocking and reporting are built in, so a conversation only opens if you want it to. DISCLAIMER Maureen is a self-guided wellness tool.

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. Regain self trust with food through Hold HOLD PLUS • Unlimited Holds, any time • Full exercise + danger window notification system • Weekly recap and charts • Personal risk map — your most vulnerable days and times • Trigger analysis and reset effectiveness • 8-week progress trends Hold Plus is an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Hold is a mindfulness support tool, not a medical or mental health treatment, and not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or care.
