Why I built a quit-app around the craving, not the chart

Most habit apps are great at hindsight. A streak counter, a calendar, a chart you look at the morning after you slip. None of it helps in the 90 seconds when you actually want to relapse.

So I built Quit All around the opposite idea: a button for the moment a craving hits.

SOS mode

Open it during a craving and it starts a timer, then walks you through prompts and GIFs until the urge passes. Cravings are short — the app is designed for those few minutes, not the dashboard.

Everything else supports the moment

Streaks, relapse logging that doesn't wipe your progress, money saved, milestones, danger-time stats, and widgets. It works for smoking, vaping, alcohol, porn, social media, weed, gambling, overspending, and caffeine.

It's a solo build, free to download.

I'd love feedback on whether "SOS button for cravings" lands as the framing.
