Two minutes. Nothing to decide.
The demo plays Mendway’s craving flow in three steps. First, “Nothing to decide yet.”: a ring paces your breathing, and you don’t have to count. Second, “What set this off?”: six short answers to tap, such as Stress or After work. Third, “Here’s what’s in the room with you.”: the money you’ve reclaimed, the days behind you and the waves you’ve ridden, the reason you wrote when you started, and an “I rode it out” button. The habit choices below switch the step two answers to that habit’s own.
The craving flow, as it runs in the app. Numbers shown are from an example account.
Mendway helps you quit drinking, smoking, vaping, porn, sugar and fast food, or gaming. When a craving hits, it walks you through it. When you slip, it keeps everything you’ve built.
For iPhone, iOS 16.4 or later. Not offered in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland.
A slip resets one number.
Your money, hours, waves ridden, badges, forest and check-ins all stay. Only the day count starts again.
Not a streak. A running total that only grows.
What Mendway counts.
Mendway counts the money you didn’t spend, the hours you got back and the cravings you rode out. Every number grows, and a bad night can’t take any of them away.
Built for drinking, smoking, vaping, porn, sugar and fast food, or gaming.
A tree for every month you stay with it.
Each month grows one tree, a little for every day you count. Slips don’t cut any of them down.
Badges count time, money and cravings ridden out, so there’s always one within reach.
If you told us your longest stretch was a few days or a couple of weeks, the Forest tab tells you the day you pass it. Every day from there is somewhere you haven’t been.
Yours, and nobody else’s.

Four quick answers.
Is the craving tool really free?
Yes, the craving flow is free forever, for everybody, along with the counters, check-ins, badges, the forest and recording a slip. Premium adds Insights and a data export, and never limits the tools that help you.
What happens if I slip?
You keep your money, hours, forest, badges, check-ins, waves ridden and total days, exactly as they were. The only thing that moves is that habit’s day count, which reads day 1 from today.
Who can see my data?
Your account data is kept with Supabase, and nobody else who uses Mendway can see your habits, check-ins or notes. It isn’t end-to-end encrypted, so the people who run Mendway could technically see it.
Is Mendway medical treatment?
No, Mendway is a self-help tool, not medical advice or treatment. Please check with a doctor before making medical decisions.
Why I built this.
If you’re reading this late at night, I know the hour. Phone in hand, long after you meant to put it down. Promising yourself tomorrow will be different, with the food, the drink, whatever it is. I’ve made those promises too.
I built Mendway to see if one calm way through a craving could work for all of them, and because so many of us are in the same place.
You don’t have to fix everything tonight. Just this one. The rest will still be here.
Next time a craving hits, you’ll have somewhere to go.
