Craving Toolkit for Addiction

Jacob Havelka

About this app

When a craving hits, you don't need a lecture. You need something that works in the next 10 minutes.
Craving Toolkit is an addiction recovery app built for the moment between craving and action — the window where most relapses happen. This is not a sober tracker that punishes you with broken streaks. This is a field manual for when your brain stops feeling trustworthy.
Built from years of lived recovery experience and grounded in modern addiction science, Craving Toolkit gives you practical tools for cravings, urges, and the dangerous "screw it" moments that turn one slip into a full relapse.
WHAT YOU GET:
• Survive the first 10 minutes of a craving with emergency tools designed for crisis moments
• Daily mood check-in with sober days and milestone tracking
• Voice of Truth — record your own calm voice when you're steady, play it back when your brain lies during a craving
• Urge surfing exercises to ride out the wave instead of obeying it
• Recognize the addictive voice and the lies your mind tells you in danger moments
• Map your triggers — stress, loneliness, boredom, shame, reward — before they fire
• Log cravings: intensity, trigger, what tool worked
• Slip recovery worksheets to get back on track without the shame spiral
• Counter-action prompts to interrupt the urge with your body
• Breathing exercises with guided animations for nervous system regulation
• See what you've reclaimed — money and time saved, day by day
WORKS FOR ANY ADDICTION OR COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR:
Alcohol, drugs, nicotine, smoking, vaping, overeating, binge eating, porn, sex addiction, gambling, doom scrolling, compulsive shopping, self-harm — any pattern where you keep doing something you already decided to stop. Whether you are quitting drinking, quitting smoking, recovering from a relapse, or trying to break a compulsive habit, the tools are the same.
WHY THIS APP IS DIFFERENT:
Most addiction recovery apps are sober trackers or social networks. Craving Toolkit is built for the actual hard moments — the cravings, the bargaining, the lies your brain tells you when logic disappears. The tools are based on the work of leading researchers in addiction science, including dopamine regulation, urge surfing, neuroplasticity, and the role of trauma in compulsive behavior. But this is not a clinical app. It is built for real recovery, by someone who's been there.
YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE:
No account required. No cloud sync. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing leaves your phone — ever. Recovery is personal, and your data should be too. This is one of the few addiction recovery apps with true offline privacy.
WHO IT'S FOR:
Anyone in early recovery, long-term recovery, or supporting someone else through addiction recovery. People tired of streak-based sobriety apps that punish them for slipping. People who want practical relapse prevention tools, not motivational quotes.
Built by someone with their own history of addiction and recovery. Not a clinic. Not a corporation. Just tools that actually work when things get hard.
If you are in crisis or need professional support, please reach out to a mental health professional or your local emergency services. This app is educational and is not a substitute for treatment, therapy, or detox.
