Anything you name

Whatever it is you're quitting

Smoking, vaping, alcohol, porn or social media: pick a goal from the list or name your own. Each goal has its own counter. Tracking a habit does not constitute an addiction diagnosis.

If you are dependent on alcohol or take benzodiazepines, seek medical advice before stopping: abrupt withdrawal can be dangerous. NHS sources: alcohol · benzodiazepines.

How it works

Your goal, your otter, your daily check-in.

01

Meet your otter

Name it, and it's yours. Its mood follows how you're doing — and it's the first thing you see when you open the app. That's the whole trick: you don't come back for a chart, you come back for someone.

02

Add what you're quitting

Pick from the list or type your own. Each one keeps its own count of clean days and its own record, so quitting two things at once doesn't mean losing both when one slips.

03

One check-in a day

How was today, and how do you feel? Your otter celebrates with you, or comes over to comfort you. Its mood bar never drops because you had an honest bad day — which is exactly why answering honestly is safe.

04

When the urge hits, breathe

Open a breathing exercise and follow the rhythm on screen. You can also choose from 14 free mini-games or record an urge in your journal. These tracking tools are not a treatment.

05

See what you're getting back

Enter what your habit costs in money or time. Loutra calculates estimates from your inputs and tracked days, then shows projections. These are personal estimates, not a promise of savings.

The day it goes wrong

Slip up? No shame here.

The counter for the affected goal restarts from the relapse date. Other goals and your history stay. Savings estimates subtract one day for a day with a relapse, without falling below zero. You can resume tracking without judgment.

You were honest and you came back. That's the part that counts.

Loutra after a relapse: It's okay. You're still here. Your streak starts fresh today.
No small print

Quietly on your side
