Quit by
slowing down.
Cold turkey asks for everything on day one. Cadence asks for one less — a daily target that fades to zero, a countdown to your next session, and a ping the moment it opens.

The method
Small steps down, held honestly.
The curve
Pick your finish line.
Tell Cadence what a normal day looks like and when you want to be done. It lays a glidepath from here to zero — and stays yours to bend: the length, the landing, the shape of the descent, any day you need.
The pacing
Never guess the next one.
Your daily target spreads across the hours you're actually awake. A ring counts down to the next window and a notification lands the moment it opens — the space between sessions grows without you watching a clock.
The proof
Watch the count fall.
What actually happened, day by day. The money you kept instead of burned. The milestones your body hits on the way down. Going over is recorded kindly — hidden reality is how tapers die, so nothing here hides.
One method. Any habit.
Run tapers side by side — each habit gets its own curve, its own pace, its own finish line.
Who it's for
Tapering isn't for everyone.
If cold turkey works for you, you don't need an app — go. cadence is for the rest of us: the ones who have quit five times, who know willpower runs out by Thursday, who need the exit to have stairs instead of a ledge. Slowing down isn't the weak version of quitting. It's the one that survives a bad week.
Cadence is a self-management tool, not medical advice. For heavy alcohol dependence, taper with a clinician — stopping abruptly can be dangerous.

The fair questions
Yes — deliberately. Cold turkey stakes everything on your worst day having zero. A taper asks today to be slightly easier than yesterday, which is a promise you can actually keep on a bad week. The finish line is the same: zero. You just arrive with your nervous system on your side.
You log it, and Cadence records it kindly — an over-day looks like an over-day, never a hidden one. Nothing resets, nothing shames you. You can hold today's target where it is, stretch the whole curve by a week, or just carry on. Untracked reality is how tapers actually die, so logging is never blocked.
The plan ends; the app doesn't. Your history, savings, and health milestones stay, and the urge tools keep working for the moments that still sneak up. If you chose a floor above zero — say, two coffees a day — Cadence holds you there instead.
On your phone by default — Cadence runs fully offline with no account. If you create an account, your plan syncs to your private row in our database, protected so only you can read it. No ads, no trackers, no selling data — and you can delete the account and everything in it from inside the app.
Because a taper is a season, not a lifetime. Most people run one or two curves and are done — the weekly plan exists exactly for that. If Cadence gets you to zero in eight weeks, it will have cost you less than the habit did in three days.
Day one is just
one less.
Start tonight with the sliver of day you have left. The curve does the rest.
