I shipped Quit All: an iPhone app with an SOS button for cravings

Source: Dev.to

Most habit apps are great at telling you what already happened. A streak counter, a calendar, a chart you look at the morning after you slipped. The So I built Quit All around the opposite idea: give people something to do in the moment a craving hits, not just a report afterward.

The core: SOS mode

The whole app centers on one button. When the urge shows up, you open SOS mode and it: starts a craving timer so you can watch the urge pass instead of acting on it swipes you through prompts and GIFs to break the loop helps you wait it out, then logs that you made it through Cravings are short. The app is designed for those few minutes, not for the dashboard you check later.

Everything else supports the moment

Around SOS mode, Quit All tracks the stuff that keeps you going: streaks, and relapse logging that doesn’t wipe all your progress when you slip money saved milestones and danger-time stats (when you’re most likely to relapse) Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets so progress stays visible It works for smoking, vaping, alcohol, porn, social media, weed, gambling, overspending, and caffeine.

The positioning lesson

The biggest thing I learned building this in public: “habit tracker” is a weak hook. Everyone has one, and it describes a feature, not a moment. The If you’re building something, it’s worth checking whether you’re naming a feature or naming the moment your user is actually in.
