We built the app to help you quit 🌽. Or really any bad habit tbh. You and your buddies make a digital monkey that you keep alive by checking in daily (with everyone either keeping their own individual monkey alive or sharing a monkey amongst the tribe where if one person slips up, everyone feels the consequences). Feel a craving? Ping a friend or have your monkey guide you through an urge control exercise. Free version with lives, or paid pledge mechanic for folks who need higher stakes.

My friend and I built this app because we wanted to control our habits and believe that technology can be a tool for good in helping us improve our lives. It's built for fun as a passion project, so we welcome any and all feedback! There are a lot of productivity / self-improvement habits out there, but we wanted to try our hand at building something for ourselves.

It has actually helped us both quit bad habits and we would love to hear any reactions as to how it helped (or did not) help you quit your bad habits! Lots of ideas for where to take this next.

And weirdly - adding the paid pledge mechanic was ultimately what did it for us. Raising the stakes made the consequences of failure more immediate.
