GiveUp questions and answers

Answers to common questions about GiveUp, the Habit Mesh, relapse handling, privacy, plans, and platforms.

What habits can I track with GiveUp?

Anything you're giving up or cutting down — sugar, white bread, tea, coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, and more. You can track several at once, each with its own streak, unit, and cost.

What is the Habit Mesh?

It's the heart of GiveUp: a glowing network where each habit is a node connected to the others. Nodes grow and brighten as your streaks get longer, turning your progress into something visual you want to protect.

What happens when I relapse?

You choose how to log it. A slip keeps your streak running, and a planned treat day is recorded as a positive rather than a failure. A full relapse resets the counter — but if you have a streak freeze, you can spend it to turn that reset back into a slip. You earn freezes at milestones and can hold up to three.

Is my data private?

Your habit list, streaks, and relapse history are stored locally on your iPhone. There's no GiveUp account, you can lock the app with Face ID, and optional sync uses your own iCloud rather than our servers — we never receive your habit list. Two things do leave the device: anonymous usage analytics that help us improve the app, and — if community sharing is on — an anonymous milestone post (the habit category, the day count, and your country, with no name or device attached) that appears in the community feed. Community sharing starts on and can be switched off any time in Settings.

Is GiveUp free?

GiveUp is free to track one habit, as a list. Premium unlocks unlimited habits and the visual Habit Mesh view, and is available as a one-time lifetime purchase or a yearly plan. Themes, the Face ID lock, widgets, and data export are free on every plan and never paywalled.

Which platforms does GiveUp support?

GiveUp is built natively for iPhone (iOS 17 and later), with home-screen widgets. There's no Android or web version today.

GiveUp is a privacy-first, multi-habit quit tracker for iPhone. Track everything you've given up — sugar, bread, tea, coffee, smoking, alcohol — as one glowing network of streaks that grows the longer you hold on.
