Beating an addiction is hard on your own. BetterStep gives you the tools clinics actually use: count your clean days, get through cravings, and see your body recover.
Whatever you're trying to quit, drinking, drugs, nicotine, gambling, BetterStep helps you put one day behind you, and then the next.
It was built with the treatment centers that do this every day, so the tools inside are the same ones their patients use. The only difference is you carry them in your pocket now.
See where you stand
Your streak, the money you haven't spent, how your sleep and recovery are trending. It's all on one screen, and your day count is always one tap away.
Get through the craving
Cravings don't last, but in the moment they feel like they will. When one hits, open Craving SOS: a short guided audio that talks you through it instead of leaving you to white-knuckle it alone. Breathing exercises and calming sounds are there for the rest of the day too.
Check in with your body
Rest your finger on the camera and BetterStep reads your heart rate and heart rate variability. It's a simple, honest way to watch your body settle as you heal.
An assistant that actually pays attention
The AI assistant looks at your real day and gives you plain, practhat catch you off guard, like the hour you'd normally give in.
Something to keep you going
Build streaks, earn ranks, and climb the leaderboard next to people doing the same hard thing. It's a lot easier when you're not doing it alone.
Small things, every day
A quick morning check-in, short daily tasks, breathing sessions, a screen widget that keeps your streak in sight.
Recovery isn't a straight line, and BetterStep won't pretend other one step at a time.
Added guided audio for cravings, including Craving SOS and a calm morning session.
Added a sound mixer so you can build your own background sounds.
The heart rate check now taps gently with each heartbeat.
Smaller fixes to make everything run smoother.
