Break the loop.
A streak you can see, an urge mode for the hard minutes, a voice you choose, and something to do with your hands at 1am. No account. Everything stays on your phone.
Three things, done well.
Most quit apps try to be a whole life coach. Strak does the few things that matter at the moment they matter.
A streak you can see
One big number, a bar to 30 days, and your total clean days underneath. A relapse resets the streak, not the total, and never your best.
Urge mode
One tap. A breathing circle that paces you through the fifteen minutes an urge actually lasts, your own "why" in your own words, a game, and a neutral WhatsApp message to one person.
Short reads, two voices
Twenty reads on why this is hard, what an urge does, the flatline, the grey zone, shame vs. guilt. Each in Coach or Kind, whichever you need.
Thirty-second check-in
How strong were the urges today, and what set them off. After two weeks the pattern is obvious, and the pattern is the whole fight.
Night mode & reminders
The home screen switches to a calmer message during your dangerous hours. A quiet daily reminder at the hour you choose.
Milestones you can share
Days 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90, 365. Each one gets a moment and a clean share card that says nothing explicit.
Same tools. Different tone.
Every note, button and read exists in two versions. Pick the one that gets through to you; switch any time.
Coach
Direct. No excuses. Tells you when you're about to slip and doesn't soften a relapse.
"You didn't relapse because you were weak. You relapsed because you had no plan at 1am. Make one."
Kind
Calm and steady. Treats a slip as information, not failure, and keeps you moving.
"A slip after twelve clean days is still twelve clean days. Tonight, just get to sleep."
Dark by default. Light if you want it.
Give the urge nothing to work with.

Nothing here leaves your phone.
This is a private thing. We built the app so that we never have to be trusted with it.
No email, no password, no sign-in. Nothing to leak.
Everything you enter stays on your device. We can't see it, so no one else can either.
No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Payments go through Apple or Google, not us.
That's the whole retention policy. Read the policy →
Asked a lot.
Does my accountability partner know what the app is for?
No. Urge mode opens WhatsApp with a short, neutral message already written, something like "got five minutes to talk?". They don't need the app and they won't know why you're writing unless you tell them.
Is Strak a replacement for therapy?
No. It's a tool for the daily work: tracking, the hard minutes, and understanding what's happening. If compulsive behaviour is affecting your health, relationships or safety, please talk to a professional. Strak works well alongside that, not instead of it.
Why no account?
Because this is private, and the only data that can't leak is data that was never collected. The trade-off is that we can't restore your streak if you lose your phone without a backup. We think that's the right trade.
What happens when I relapse?
You log it, optionally with a note about what was going on. The current streak resets; your total clean days and your best streak stay. Over time the relapse notes show you the pattern, which is the point.
Will there be an Arabic version?
Not at launch. English first, then we'll see where the users are.
When does it launch?
Android closed testing starts first, then both stores. Follow along on TikTok or email hello@strakapp.com and we'll tell you the day it's live.
Your streak starts the day it launches.
iPhone and Android. One codebase, one price, nothing collected.
