EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOLOGY

Every technique is grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. These aren't gimmicks—they're proven therapeutic tools adapted for the critical 60-second window.

FREE TO USE

Urge is free with optional support through Buy Me a Coffee. We believe everyone deserves access to tools that help them take control.

WHY URGE WORKS

Traditional willpower fails because it relies on the same part of your brain that's overwhelmed. Urge uses rapid physiological interventions—breathing, movement, sensory awareness—to engage different neural pathways and give your prefrontal cortex time to come back online.
