A privacy-first PWA based on Dr. Alan Marlatt’s research. Uses brown noise and a visual countdown to help you bridge the 20-minute gap of acute craving. No ads, no tracking.
Hi Folks 👋
I built UrgeWave because I’m currently going through this addiction recovery journey myself.
I tried using many existing apps, but almost all of them were locked behind paywalls or cluttered with ads. I respect that developers need to make money, but when you are fighting an actual urge, those distractions are the last thing you need.
I decided to dig into the research (specifically Dr. Marlatt’s 'Urge Surfing' technique) and build the tool I actually wanted:
🌊 Simple: No sign-up, no gamification, just the timer.
🧠 Scientific: Uses Brown Noise and a 15-minute window to ride out the dopamine wave. 💸 Free: No paywalls, ever.
I’d love to hear your feedback on the audio volume or the PWA offline mode :)
