Still
For a cooked baseline
Real life feels boring because the volume was too high.
Locks fail when you know the bypass. This is not another blocker, streak, or dopamine toy. It is a place to sit with the urge until it falls — the way addiction research actually treats craving.
Urge surfing
Marlatt: cravings are waves. Bowen & Marlatt (2009) found that watching the urge, without feeding it, changed what people did next.
If-then plans
Gollwitzer: “If I am about to bypass the lock, then I open Still.” Written in a calm hour so you are not negotiating at the peak.
Honesty, not streaks
Lembke starts with data. No points. No flame to protect. A slip is logged, not punished. Shame is another loop.
Deliberately dull. If this app ever feels exciting, it failed.
