Ebb: Taper & Habit Tracker

Nobody quits four things on a Monday morning.

Ebb starts by measuring what you actually consume — cigarettes, drinks, junk food, caffeine, all of it — and then draws a curve down from that number. One you can hold, rather than one you break by Thursday.

ONE NUMBER FOR EVERYTHING

Body Load folds every substance you track into a single figure, weighted by what each unit costs you. It's how you compare a heavy Friday against a snacky Tuesday, and how you see the total come down even in a week where one thing went badly.

A CURVE, NOT A VOW

No day-one streak waiting to break. Ebb sets your rate from your own baseline, caps how fast it will ever push, and flattens the curve after a hard week instead of failing you. The alcohol taper is capped at 10% a week and cannot be raised — coming off heavy drinking too fast is genuinely dangerous, and this is the one place an encouraging app could do real harm.

IT FINDS WHAT PULLS WHAT

Most slips aren't one substance failing. They're one dragging another behind it. Ebb reads your own log for those links — "junk food follows alcohol by a day, at 3.4x" — and tells you the hours of today it expects to be hardest, before they arrive.

KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BOTTLE

70 products sold in India, hand-checked: Kingfisher Strong, Old Monk, Royal Stag, country liquor, Classic, Gold Flake, beedis, gutkha, khaini, Maggi, vada pav, jalebi, filter coffee, Sting. Each with its real composition, what it does, and what to swap it for.

WHAT YOUR BODY DOES ON THE WAY

Log what you notice — headache, poor sleep, brain fog — and Ebb times it against what you had and finds the delay. It stays observational: it never diagnoses, and symptoms that could mean something serious route you to medical help instead of into a chart.

RIDE OUT THE URGE

A breathing timer with your own numbers on it: how long your cravings actually last, and how many you've already ridden out.

IT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

No account. No server. No analytics. Export a full backup as a file whenever you like, or turn on optional backup to a hidden folder in your own Google Drive that only this app can open.

NO SHAME

Daily guilt reminders are off by design. Going over plan logs anyway, and the curve adapts.

Ebb is a tracker, not a treatment. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or give medical advice. If you are drinking heavily every day, talk to a doctor before you start cutting down.
