Crest - Urge Surfing

Description

Every urge rises, peaks, and fades — just like a wave. Crest helps you ride through cravings instead of giving in.

WHAT IS URGE SURFING?

Urge surfing is a proven technique from therapy (DBT). The key insight: most urges peak within 10-20 minutes, then naturally fade. Most people give in during the rise, never learning that urges pass on their own. Crest gives you a beautiful, calming experience to ride out that wave.

HOW IT WORKS

Tap "Start Surfing" when an urge hits. Watch your wave rise, crest, and fall in real-time. Gentle haptic feedback guides you through each phase. Access coping tools to stay present. Celebrate when you've successfully surfed the wave.

FEATURES

◆ Beautiful wave visualization that matches your urge's journey
◆ Four phases: Rise → Crest → Fall → Calm
◆ 8 coping tools: breathe, ground, affirm, journal, body scan, cold, move, delay
◆ Countdown or count-up timer — your choice
◆ Track streaks, patterns, and progress over time
◆ Insights to discover your triggers and trends
◆ iCloud sync across all your devices
