Features & Capabilities

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

User Reviews

Great app for managing cravings and urges. So much more convenient than setting the timer myself and comes with tools to help regulate.

User friendly and welcoming. Would love to see the option to temporarily leave your surf to view the menu and come back to it.

It takes a bit to get use to it, to surf the urge… but once you click with it, you can’t stop coming back!
