Thinking about taking a break, or quitting for good? Kobbling is a more playful way to break a pattern with alcohol, cigarettes, snus or other nicotine. One day at a time, you light the lantern and your own island grows. No account, no lectures. ONE DAY AT A TIME Pick a break with an end date, like 30 days, or quit for good. In the evening, rest your finger on the lantern and answer how the day went. It takes ten seconds. A jetty, a shed, a lighthouse: your island grows with you, and guests find their way. WHEN A CRAVING HITS A craving is like a wave. It rises, peaks and settles. Tap the wave and breathe through it, step out of the room, or call someone you chose ahead of time. Helplines for your country are one tap away. PLAN THE HARD DAYS The Friday dinner, payday weekend, New Year's Eve. Add a storm warning, decide ahead of time what you'll do, and get your plan in the morning. WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR BODY? Week by week, Wellbeing shows what tends to happen in your body and mind, with sources and how well documented each point is. You also see how much money you've saved. ONE BAD DAY ISN'T THE END Didn't go as planned? Answer honestly. Your streak starts over, but your island keeps every piece. Coming back the next day earns a badge of its own. ON APPLE WATCH Answer the day, breathe through a wave with gentle haptics, and see your days on the watch face. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS β€’ No account and no email β€’ Everything stays on your iPhone and Apple Watch β€’ No tracking and no ads β€’ Notifications never mention what you're taking a break from FREE AND PLUS All the help is free: the clock, the lantern, the wave, storm warnings, the helplines, Wellbeing and the money you save. Your island grows free for the first seven days. With Kobbling Plus your island keeps growing every day, with every guest, more finds, real weather and your patterns. New subscribers can try the yearly plan free for 7 days. You can also choose monthly or pay once. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in Settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.

If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Talk to a healthcare professional first. The tools draw on well-known ways of changing habits, like planning ahead for hard situations and doing something else when a craving hits. The app itself has not been tested in a study.
