The Anti-habit Tracker

Make the bad habit cost you.

Name the one thing you want to stop: the phone in bed, the morning doomscroll, the weekday takeout. Put a small stake on staying clean. Hold the line and you pay nothing. Slip, and the stake is charged.

How it works

Three steps, one habit at a time

  1. Name what you are stopping

    One habit, one line: no cigarettes, no scrolling before noon. Choose how many clean days to aim for and the stake, from $1.

  2. Keep the run clean

    If you slip, say so with one tap. At the end of the run, confirm you stayed clean and choose the next one: longer, higher, or the same again.

  3. Slipping costs the stake

    A slip, or a deadline that passes without your confirmation, charges the stake and starts a new run $1 higher. Every charge waits 24 hours first, so you can challenge it if something went wrong.

Habits you could stop with Samvara

  • No phone in bed after 10 pm
  • No doomscrolling before noon
  • No takeout on weekdays
  • No cigarettes
  • No porn
  • No alcohol

Building a habit instead, like a daily run or 20 pages a night? It works the same way: a skipped day counts as a slip.

Features

Firm enough to work. Fair when life happens.

  • Small stakes you choose

    You set the amount for each habit. Enough to make you pause before you slip, not enough to hurt.

  • 24-hour challenge window

    No charge goes through right away. You get an email and 24 hours to challenge it; doing nothing confirms it.

  • Pause

    Traveling or ill? Pause a running goal once per run, for up to 7 days. Nothing is charged while it is paused.

  • Charge caps

    Never more than $25 a day, $100 a week or $250 a month. Lower them any time; raising them waits 7 days.

  • Coach sharing Pro

    Share a goal with a friend or coach who can confirm you stayed clean. Shared goals are never charged automatically.

  • Trends Pro

    Your clean runs over weeks and months, not just this one.

  • Custom metrics Pro

    Count what matters to you: cigarettes, hours of screen time, takeout orders.

  • No-excuses mode

    Optional, per goal. Challenges are accepted only for rare emergencies, like a hospital stay or a death in the family.

Straight talk

Missed stakes go to Samvara. Here is how we keep it fair.

When you miss, the stake is Samvara's revenue. It does not go to charity or to other users. Because we earn when you miss, we have built in limits that work in your favor.

  • You choose the stake.It starts at the amount you pick, from $1. After a slip the next run is $1 higher, and the app always shows what is at stake.
  • Every charge waits 24 hours.You are told before any money moves, and one tap opens a challenge.
  • A person reviews every challenge.Nothing is declined automatically, not even in no-excuses mode.
  • Hard caps on charges.$25 a day, $100 a week, $250 a month at most, and you can set them lower.
  • Safety is never behind the paywall.Pause, caps, challenges and data export are free on every plan.
  • You can leave any time.Export your data and close your account from Settings, on the web or in the app. If a goal is still running, you pause it or end it first. Changed your mind? Sign back in within 7 days and everything is restored.

FAQ

Questions

Is the money real?

Yes. A stake is a real charge to your card if you miss, not a pledge or points. That is what makes it work.

What if I slip for a good reason?

Every charge waits 24 hours and you get an email first. Challenge it and tell us what happened; a person reviews it and no money moves until they decide. If you know in advance, pause the goal instead.

Where does the money from a slip go?

To Samvara. It is part of how the app is paid for, alongside Pro subscriptions. We say so up front, and the caps and challenge window above are there because of it.

What is the most I can be charged?

$25 in a day, $100 in a week and $250 in a month, across all your goals. You can lower these limits at any time in Settings; raising them takes effect after 7 days.

Do I need a card to sign up?

No. You sign up with your email and a 6-digit code. You add a card in Settings before your first stake; it is stored with Stripe and only charged if you miss. The 14-day Pro trial needs no card either.

Can I use it to build a habit instead?

Yes. Set the goal as something you do every day, like a run or 20 pages. A day you skip counts as a slip. Samvara is built around stopping things, but the rules are the same either way.

Who can use Samvara?

Adults 18 and over. We ask for your date of birth once to check your age and do not store it. Samvara is launching in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Why do I have to be 18 or over?

Because a stake is real money. When you set one, you agree that we may charge your card if you slip, and that is a contract we only make with adults. That is also why the examples include adult habits like alcohol and porn. We check your date of birth once and do not store it.

What does the name mean?

Saṃvara is a Pali and Sanskrit word for restraint: not following an impulse the moment it arises. Read about the name.

How do I cancel Pro?

Subscriptions are managed on the web. Cancel any time from the Pro page; you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
