Reclaim

Yes. Core features — streak tracking, daily check-ins, SOS breathing, mood scoring, the Kintsugi rank system, backfill, and personal mantras — are free forever. Pro unlocks unlimited journals, advanced analytics, cloud sync, and data export for $49.99/year (with a 3-day free trial) or $4.99/week.

Inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, the rank system has 6 levels: Gathering, Mixing, Binding, Filling, Gilding, and Wholeness. You earn XP from check-ins, mood logs, and journals. Honestly reporting a relapse earns bonus XP — because real growth includes setbacks.

Yes. Data is stored with enterprise-grade encryption and row-level security policies. Error monitoring automatically strips emails and IP addresses before logging. We never collect sensitive information before the paywall, never share data with third parties, and you can delete your account and all data anytime from the app.

When an urge hits, tap the SOS button to start a guided 4-7-8 breathing session: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8, repeated for 3 rounds. A full-screen calming animation with haptic feedback guides each phase. Your personal mantra is displayed to remind you of your commitment.

Yes. Sign in with Google, Apple, email OTP, or SMS (China), and your data syncs automatically across all devices. Streaks, moods, journals, ranks, and settings are never lost when you switch phones.

Absolutely. Every chart, heatmap, and trend line is generated from your actual check-in data. We never inflate numbers or show predetermined results. Your mood trends, trigger rankings, and streak history reflect exactly what you recorded.

No. Reclaim is a self-help tool to support your recovery journey. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please seek help from a qualified professional.

Breaking a habit requires consistent tracking, understanding your triggers, and having a plan for when urges hit. Research shows that daily accountability (like check-ins), emotional awareness (like mood logging), and immediate coping tools (like breathing exercises) significantly improve success rates. Reclaim combines all three into a single app — track your streaks, identify patterns in your mood data, and use the SOS breathing exercise in moments of weakness.

Urges are temporary — most pass within 15-20 minutes. The key is to interrupt the impulse with an immediate action. Reclaim's SOS button launches a guided 4-7-8 breathing exercise that activates your parasympathetic nervous system, slowing your heart rate and reducing anxiety. Combined with your personal mantra displayed on screen, it gives you a concrete tool to ride out the urge instead of giving in.

There is no universal timeline. The often-cited "21 days" is a myth — research suggests behavioral changes can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days depending on the person and habit. What matters more than a number is consistent daily effort. Reclaim's streak tracking and Kintsugi rank system are designed for the long haul: you see your real progress accumulate over weeks and months, and the rank system rewards persistence rather than perfection.

No. Relapse is a normal part of recovery, not a sign of failure. This is the core idea behind Reclaim's Kintsugi philosophy — just as broken pottery becomes more beautiful when repaired with gold, setbacks can become part of your growth story. In Reclaim, honestly reporting a relapse actually earns you bonus XP, because acknowledging a setback takes courage and is itself a step forward.

Yes. Reclaim supports 9 addiction types including social media, gaming, and screen time — making it ideal for a dopamine detox. The daily check-in tracks your clean days away from overstimulating habits, the SOS 4-7-8 breathing exercise helps you resist cravings for quick dopamine hits, and mood tracking reveals which times of day you're most vulnerable to doomscrolling or binge-watching. The recovery timeline shows research-backed milestones for how your brain's reward system normalizes over time — including dopamine receptor recovery after 90 days.

The 4-7-8 breathing pattern — inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8 — is designed to stimulate the vagus nerve, the longest cranial nerve that connects your brain to your gut. Extended exhalation activates the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting your body from "fight-or-flight" to "rest-and-digest." This lowers your heart rate, reduces cortisol, and calms the anxiety that often triggers cravings. Reclaim's SOS button guides you through 3 rounds with calming animations and haptic feedback, making it easy to activate this response in the moment you need it most.

Most recovery apps focus on one thing: I Am Sober emphasizes community, Nomo centers on accountability clocks, and Quitzilla tracks financial savings. Reclaim takes a fundamentally different approach by combining streak tracking, mood analytics, AI coaching, SOS 4-7-8 breathing, journaling, a research-based recovery timeline, and an accountability partner into a single integrated toolkit. Its Kintsugi philosophy sets it apart — instead of resetting your progress on relapse, Reclaim rewards honest reporting with bonus XP. This "relapse is not failure" approach is backed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) showing that 40-60% of people in recovery experience relapse, and self-compassion significantly improves long-term outcomes.
