# Koko

> Koko is a gentle, private iPhone app that helps people break unhealthy habits and addictions one day at a time. A friendly koala companion supports daily pledges, honest check-ins, a private journal and a supportive chat. Koko is in early access; people can join the waiting list on the website.

Koko is a support tool. It is not medical care, therapy or a crisis service, and it does not replace professional help. People in danger or crisis should contact their local emergency services.

## What the app does
- Live streak timer (days, hours, minutes, seconds) for each habit, worded to fit the habit ("days sober", "days clean", "days bet-free", "days smoke-free", "days spend-free", "days in control", "days screen-free")
- Daily pledge, with a personal "reason" the user writes themselves
- Daily check-in: mood, craving strength (1-5) and triggers (stress, boredom, loneliness, social pressure, routine, curiosity, tiredness)
- Progress view: mood and craving trends and most common triggers
- Private journal for each habit
- Chat with Koko: a warm, non-judgemental AI companion; includes crisis-language detection that points to emergency resources
- Koko Insights: short daily summaries and weekly look-backs
- Gentle reminders to check in and make the daily pledge
- Habits supported: alcohol, nicotine and vaping, drugs, gambling, porn, food, shopping, social media (one or several at once)

## Privacy, in plain words
- Check-ins, journal entries, pledges and streaks are stored on the user's device.
- Chat messages are sent to a secure AI service to generate Koko's replies. They are not sold or used for advertising.
- The website uses Google Analytics to count visits. Its sign-up form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to block spam.

## Availability
- iPhone first. Currently invite-only early access via a waiting list.
