What Everbead is
- Each night you check in. A clean night lights a bead. A slip leaves a hollow bead, and every bead you lit stays.
- When an urge hits, tap Urge for a one-minute breathing pause while it settles.
- Each urge you beat unlocks an answer in Insights, like when your urges hit and what helps you most.
- No account and no server. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. We can’t see it.
- The name, icon and notifications look like a habit app. Face ID can lock it.
- $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, free for the first 7 days. Coming soon to iPhone.
Everbead has no content blocker, no community and no accountability partner. If you need one of those, pick an app that has it.
