There are habit trackers that help you develop good habits. Let’s say you want to keep a daily journal or meditate; you manually check in every day and over time you’ll have developed a new habit. But living a balanced life also requires letting go of bad habits. And here too, an app can help you stay on track, by helping you quit smoking, binge eating, sugar, social media or any other addiction. Whatever you want to quit, it can all be tracked and left behind with the Days Since app on your iPhone.

Accountability and dedication are crucial when you are finally trying to quit a bad habit. And if it is something addictive like nicotine or alcohol, you need all the help you can get.

Here’s a simple counter that can motivate you: It’s been 15 days since you last drank alcohol, wouldn’t it be great if you could just keep going? A streak like this will help you when you’re at a party and you’re determined to stay sober. Or maybe everyone’s ordering dessert after dinner, but you don’t mind abstaining.

My personal refuge is sugar. Thanks to Days Since, I have been able to give up desserts and ice cream for over six months now.
