SlipFix — Project Brief

SlipFix is a mobile app (iOS-first) that helps people quit an addiction — weed, nicotine, or alcohol. The user picks one during onboarding.

The core idea: Slips aren't failures — they're data points in a downward trend. The whole philosophy is "don't shame the slip, fix it and move on." No punishment, no red error states, no resetting scoreboards. It's built on the thesis that bad habits outweigh good ones, so the app focuses on subtraction (removing the bad) over addition.

The signature mechanic: the "Why Video" — the user records a video of their sober self explaining why they're quitting, then plays it back during cravings as a gut-check from their better self.

What it tracks: days clean, urges resisted, slips, money and time saved, a journal, and recovery milestones (educational: what's healing in your body at day 1, 3, 7, 30, 90).

Who it's for: people trying to quit a habit who want a supportive, non-judgmental companion rather than a clinical or shame-based app.

Look and feel: premium dark mode — a blue-black background (not pure black), atmospheric and calm. The primary color is a teal-bright green, with neon-violet accents for interactive bits. Think Apple Health meets Headspace, in a dark canvas.
