About Habit Switch: Swap Bad Habits
You don't break bad habits. You replace them. Habit Switch pairs every bad habit with a good one that feeds the same need — doomscrolling with reading, stress eating with a walk, the after-work drink with a shower reset. Then it helps you win the only moment that matters: the seconds between feeling an urge and acting on it. THE URGE SURF • Feel the urge → press one button → ride a 90-second animated wave while the craving crests and passes, with soothing white noise under it • Your replacement habit is waiting at the bottom, one tiny step at a time • Reachable from the Lock Screen, Control Center, the Action Button, Siri, widgets and your Apple Watch — help before the habit wins ONE HONEST NUMBER • The Swap Score: the percentage of urges you swapped over the last 7 days • Days clean, streaks, week and month maps — built from what actually happened A COACH IN YOUR CORNER (PRO) • Talk any urge through with a calm AI coach that knows your switch, your triggers and your streak • It runs entirely on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence — nothing you type ever leaves the device KINDNESS, NOT SHAME • A slip is data, not a verdict: tag what set it off and the app turns it into insight • When a real streak resets, Habit Switch honors what you built instead of guilting you — the days you proved don't disappear KNOW YOUR PATTERN • The urge clock finds your danger hour (Pro) and a predictive reminder gets ahead of it • A free weekly review: what worked, what tripped you, and one intention for next week FREE, AND ACTUALLY FREE • Every switch, unlimited — not one, not three. All of them, forever • The urge surf, the Swap Score, the weekly review, the Watch app and every widget • Supported by a single ad card at the bottom of the screen, never during an urge HABIT SWITCH PRO — $0.99 ONCE • No ads, anywhere • The on-device AI coach conversation • Custom pairs, the urge clock, month map and danger-hour reminders Pro is a one-time $0.99 purchase. There is no subscription and nothing renews. PRIVACY, FOR REAL No account. No analytics. No servers. Your habits, history and everything you tell the coach stay on your devices, backed up to your own iCloud — we couldn't read them if we wanted to. Ads are served by Google AdMob and never see what you log.
