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
problem is that none of that helps during the 90 seconds when you actually want to relapse.
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
second I started describing it as "an SOS button for cravings," people immediately got it.
If you're building something, it's worth checking whether you're naming a feature or naming the moment your user is actually in.
## Try it
- App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quit-all-break-every-habit/id6760978934
- Website: https://quit-all.com
Free to download, with optional premium. I'd genuinely like feedback on whether "SOS mode for cravings" lands as the main hook, or if you'd lead with
something else.
