How it works

One breath changes everything

Cravy puts a conscious breath between your impulse and your action.

01 — TOUCH

A craving? Touch Cravy.

The moment a craving or impulse appears, place your finger on your Cravy to intervene.

02 — BREATHE

Follow the vibration

Haptic vibrations guide you through the pre-synced breathing protocol.

03 — DECIDE

You decide

After the breath, you consciously choose your next action — with one tap on your phone.

Why it works

Rewire your brain.

Cravy combines three mechanisms to build sustainable habits.

Interrupts the autopilot

The interrupt

Reaching for a distraction is a reflex. It fires before the deciding part of your brain is online. A pause at that exact point turns the action from automatic into deliberate.

Grüning et al., PNAS 2023

Brings the conscious mind online

The breath

A long, slow exhale engages the vagus nerve and lowers arousal within seconds. That's the window where the urge loosens its grip and a real choice becomes possible.

Russo et al., Breathe 2017

Trains both into a habit

The repetition

Habits are built by repetition, and come apart the same way. Every conscious pause weakens the old loop and quietly strengthens the new one.

Lally et al., 2010

Real results from real testers.

“I was sceptical but it actually works — not by locking me out but making my choice conscious again.”

Sofia L. · Verified tester

“I genuinely put my phone down now. The buzz in my hand makes me stop instead of swiping past a popup.”

Mara K.

“Down two hours of screen time in my first week. I didn't think a necklace could do that.”

Our story

About Us

We are two founders, an ETH biomedical engineer and a breathwork expert. Our mission: build products that help us live longer, healthier and happier.

We started with ourselves. The phone was already in our hands before we noticed. The app open before anything was decided. That is not weakness: these apps are built to bypass your head.

We tried everything to get out. What helped in the end was not another app but the opposite: a short pause between impulse and action. A deep breath. Enough room for the question: do I really want this right now?

So we built a device. Simple, smart, effective. That is Cravy.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can I just open the app anyway?+

Yes — it's a speed bump, not a cage. The breath makes the choice yours. Most people walk away more often than they expect.

Will it end up in a drawer?+

It's a pendant you wear, not a gadget you charge and forget. It stays with you, which is exactly when the autopilot hits.

Does it really work?+

Early testers report 57% fewer reflexive opens within the first week. One conscious breath genuinely interrupts the reach-for-phone reflex.

Which phone do I need?+

Any modern iPhone or Android. The companion app is free on both.

How long does the battery last?+

About a week per charge. The magnetic dock tops it up in under an hour.

What's the return policy?+

30 days, money back, no questions. If it doesn't change your habits, send it back.
