The problem with streaks

One slip should not erase every good day.

Most quit apps count days in a row. Miss one and the number drops to zero. Weeks of effort, gone in a second.

That is not how quitting works. It is how guilt works.

FizzFree keeps no streak to lose and no all-or-nothing reset. It never shames you for a slip. It just shows where you are today.

The Glass and the Bubble Monster

Picture a glass on a table.

Every clean check-in pops its bubbles, and the glass goes clear.

On a fizz day, the bubbles pile up and clump into a cheeky Bubble Monster. Then clean days shrink it again, until it pops.

One calm check-in a day shows how many days you have gone without and how the monster is doing.

  1. Clean day: bubbles pop.
  2. Fizz day: the monster appears.
  3. Clean days: it shrinks.

What's inside

Small tools for the moments that matter.

Fizz Map

Name the moment before it names you.

Lunch at your desk. The 3 pm slump. The drive-thru. Game day. Gaming night. Name the moments you reach for a drink, and get a quiet nudge 10 minutes before.

Add your own moments anytime.

Ride the Fizz

Ninety seconds for a craving.

Hold a finger down. Bubbles rise. Lift on a slow breath and they pop. That is the whole exercise.

90 seconds. One finger. One breath.

Sugar Jar and goal

See what you did not drink.

The sugar you skipped stacks up as cubes in the jar. The money you did not spend fills a goal you name, like "New sneakers, 62%".

Sugar Jar screen

Taper Dial

Come down step by step.

Lower your weekly allowance a little at a time instead of stopping overnight.

Sunday Letter

A note from your own week.

Each Sunday, a short letter written on your phone from your week. Your easiest moment. Your hardest moment. The swap that won.

  • Your easiest moment.
  • Your hardest moment.
  • The swap that won.

What's in your can?

The Swap Lab stacks a drink's sugar into teaspoons, sets its caffeine against the FDA's daily figure, and suggests a drink to make instead.

Energy drinks

Quitting energy drinks? It tracks those too.

Choose energy drinks as your drink and FizzFree tracks the caffeine and sugar you skip, as well as the money.

Prefer to ease off rather than stop overnight? The Taper Dial is there for that.

Where you are: setup screen

Made for where you live

Your swaps should sound like your town.

Tell FizzFree where you are in setup, and the swaps and units follow. In the US South that might be unsweet or half-sweet tea. In the Northeast, seltzer. Amounts show in the units you use.

FizzFree is available in many languages, and you can add your own swaps and moments at any time.

Private by design

No account. No sign-up.

Your check-ins, goals and notes stay on your phone. There is nothing to create and nothing to log into.

The app has no voice and no stock sounds. Every sound was made for FizzFree, and one switch in Settings turns them all off.

From the founder

Built by FizzFree Labs.

I'm John Osakwe, and I founded FizzFree Labs. It started with a challenge between my girlfriend and me to stay off fizzy drinks. I built FizzFree the way I'd want a habit app to treat anyone: no shame, no reset, private by default. I also run Etest Tech Hub in Lagos, Nigeria, where we build mobile apps.

Do I have to quit completely?

No. You can quit for good or cut down at your own pace. The Taper Dial lowers your weekly allowance step by step.

What happens if I slip?

Nothing dramatic. The bubbles pile up into a Bubble Monster, and clean days shrink it again until it pops. There is no streak to lose and no reset to zero.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no account and no sign-up.

Where is my data stored?

Your check-ins, goals and notes stay on your phone.
