Quiet · Local · Yours
When the craving comes, you’re not alone with it.
Fjara is made for the one moment the urge shows up — for a drink, a cigarette, or another habit you want to let go of. You open it, tap once and ride the wave: a breathing exercise you feel as a gentle vibration in your hand, breathing you calmly through the moment until the craving ebbs away. The core is free for good — no account, no server, nothing watching you.
Fjara is Icelandic for the ebb — the moment the wave turns and draws back. You ride each craving like a wave and stay with it until, in its own time, it settles and recedes.
“Cravings come in waves. Fjara stays with you while they rise — and while they recede.”
How it works
One button, for the moment it matters.
When the pull toward alcohol, a cigarette or another old habit shows up, there is nothing to figure out. You open Fjara and ride the wave.
1 · Open Fjara
The moment a craving comes, open the app and tap “Ride the wave.” That's it — nothing to set up, nothing to decide, no thinking required.
2 · Feel the wave
A slow, gentle vibration rises and falls beneath your hand. It sets the rhythm for your breathing and stays with you through the moment — you can close your eyes; there's no need to watch the screen.
3 · Let it pass
You breathe along until the wave recedes and the urge softens. Then you carry on with your day — a little steadier than you were a few minutes ago.
Beyond the moment, Fjara gives you a short daily check-in, a private journal with your own plan for hard moments, and milestones you can see as they arrive. With Plus you can add longer exercises, more breathing techniques, an on-device soundscape and an Apple Watch app.
What Fjara stands for
Four things you can rely on.
Built for the moment
A slip usually happens in a single short minute — and that’s exactly when nothing useful is at hand. Fjara is there for that minute: one tap on “Ride the wave,” and a gentle vibration swells and subsides beneath your hand. Your breath follows it on its own. No thinking, no right or wrong — just one button that carries you through.
Private by design
Your data never leaves your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no analytics SDKs, no advertising IDs. What you entrust to Fjara belongs to you alone — privacy here is not a feature, it is the foundation of everything. Delete the app and it’s all gone. Completely.
Discreet on your wrist
Even in company, with a drink within reach, you can ride the wave — quietly on your Apple Watch. You feel the vibration, the time left and the breathing phase on your wrist, without reaching for your phone. No one at the table needs to notice. The Apple Watch app is part of Fjara Plus.
Dignity, not shame
No confetti, no leaderboards, no streak pressure. Fjara shows your path calmly: days, notes, milestones — and your own plan for hard moments, prepared in advance. If a day goes differently, the next one begins without reproach and keeps the distance you’ve already come.
Honesty first
What Fjara is not.
We do not promise you sobriety. No app can — and anyone who claims otherwise is not being honest with you.
What Fjara is
- A one-button breathing wave you feel in your hand, for the moment a craving comes.
- A short daily check-in and a private journal with your own plan for hard moments.
- A calm record of your path — days, notes, milestones you can see.
- Entirely local: no account, no server, no tracking.
What Fjara is not
- Not a medical device. Fjara does not diagnose, treat, alleviate, or cure anything.
- Not a substitute for therapy, withdrawal treatment, medical or psychological care.
- No promise of a cure. Fjara does not make you sober — it accompanies you.
- No lecturing, no shame, no pressure. Your decisions remain yours.
Important: Abrupt withdrawal (for example from alcohol) can be medically dangerous — talk to a doctor first. In an acute crisis, contact emergency services (112 across Europe, or your local emergency number), a crisis helpline, or an addiction counselling service near you.
Privacy as protection
No one needs to know Fjara exists.
People who change their relationship with a substance often have good reasons to keep that to themselves. So Fjara is built to know nothing about you.
- All data is stored exclusively and locally on your device.
- No account, no registration, no e-mail address.
- No servers of our own — the app initiates no connections by itself.
- No analytics, no tracking, no advertising IDs, no third-party SDKs.
- Delete the app, and all Fjara data is gone. Completely.
