UrgeCheckCheck the urge. Choose what happens next.
Most apps count the days after. UrgeCheck is for the moment before: one button that helps you pause, pick a different response, and learn what works for you. For social media, smoking, gambling, alcohol, gaming, porn, shopping, trading, phone use, or anything else.
Private beta · iOS and Android
People usually know what they want to change. They struggle at the moment of action. And most apps only show up afterwards, to count the damage.
There is a gap between an urge and an action. UrgeCheck exists to make that gap a little wider, and to put a real choice inside it.
Not days survived. Successful urges interrupted. And whether you need the app less over time.
Four steps. Under a minute. Two taps from your home screen.
- Check
Tap the button
A large button on the home screen and in the tab bar. Rate the urge and tap what happened just before. No typing.
- Pause
Breathe with the ring
A one-minute pause with a breathing ring. Long enough to break the autopilot, short enough to actually do.
- Choose
One concrete step
A cooling-off before a bet. A routine swap for a cigarette. An intent check before you open the app. Picked for the behavior, the intensity and what has helped you before.
- Learn
See your pattern
Your risk window, your top triggers, and what has worked more than once. A lapse is logged as data and your lifetime progress never resets.
Urges look different. The moment before them doesn’t.
Each behavior gets its own interventions. A cooling-off for a bet, a routine swap for a cigarette, an intent check before you open the app. Over time UrgeCheck notices what shows up before what: “Drinking appeared before 6 of your last 9 smoking urges.” Correlations from your own log, never diagnoses.

Built for the most sensitive data you have.
Interrupt, don’t shame
No “streak broken”. No guilt copy. A lapse is logged, understood, and used.
Safety overrides engagement
Crisis language pauses the game layer and routes to real help. Coach will never suggest a bet, a trade, or a way to win money back.
Nothing shared by default
Your Circle hears from you only when you ask. And never which behavior unless you allow it.
Minimum collection
No behavioral advertising. No sale of recovery data. Export or delete everything in two taps.
No dark patterns
No forced daily check-ins, random rewards or manipulative notifications. Missions are finite on purpose.
Less necessary over time
The goal is independence. We measure success by urges you handle, not minutes you spend here.
UrgeCheck is a behavior-change tool, not a medical product. It does not diagnose or treat any condition, and Coach is not a doctor, therapist or financial advisor. If you’re in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. Read our privacy policy.
Free for every behavior. Pay only for Coach.
No ads, no data sales, and nothing built to keep you tapping.
