The SoYi experience
Open it. Follow the flow. Zero friction. The autopilot rewires itself. Easy peasy.
Designed for the moment you need it most
It's 3pm. The craving hits again. Your sensible side says — you're not even hungry, lay off the junk! But you're exhausted and fed up. The last thing you need is a fight with yourself.
But you have just enough in you to reach for your phone and open SoYi. You tap the pink button — and feel yourself relax a little already. You know all you have to do is hand yourself over to Serene and let her take you through the next step. The notes you wrote on a calmer day for exactly this moment — triggers you recognised, the responses that actually help you — she's kept them safe, and surfaces the right ones now. No need to think hard. Just pick from what's already there.
Following the prompts, it clicks: you're not actually hungry — there's a restless feeling that needs an outlet. A walk outside, a breath of fresh air — that's what always works for you. So that's what you do. If you still want munching when you're back, a fresh apple. Refreshing, grounding. What you were looking for.
Grinding through a deadline, you reach for a bag of crisps. Something to chew — and the brain turns over again. Body trapped at the desk, but at least the mouth is moving. Less unbearable.
You're scrolling your phone for a break when you notice SoYi on your screen. You open it. One of the trigger situations catches your eye: Sensory & Oral Stimulation. That's you, isn't it? You ask Serene. She says: your nervous system needs sensory input to stay focused — this isn't a willpower failure, it's your body self-regulating. The crisps are doing a job.
She surfaces your notes. Written on a calmer day: a handful of nuts, carrot sticks, gum. Same fix, lighter on the system. You swap for the carrots. Back to the grind.
The child is finally asleep. The guilt sets in: "She's so little — why do I keep holding her to adult standards? I made her cry again. This morning I was dreaming of a lovely evening together. So much for that." Then your partner appears from nowhere with a list of what you did wrong. The anger on top of the guilt on top of the exhaustion. Too much. You cut yourself a slice of cake.
You're eating and scrolling when you catch SoYi on your screen. You open it. One of the trigger situations stops you: Avoidance & Numbing. That's you right now, isn't it? You ask Serene. She says: there's too much pain right now and you need somewhere to put it. The cake numbs it for a moment, keeps it at bay. But when it's gone, the feeling is still there, unresolved.
Any feeling is temporary. Don't try to fix it or fight it — just sit with it, watch it rise and fall, and it will pass on its own. You breathe with her. Something settles.
She surfaces your notes. Written on a calmer day: a hot bath. A face mask. Yoga. A voice message to a friend. Walk the dog. You send the voice message. Two sentences in, the tears come. Your friend calls back. The feeling has somewhere to land. Later, you fall asleep at peace. The cake is still there. You had one bite.
The core function
Craving hits — open SoYi and follow the flow.
No need to white-knuckle it. Just bring your fingertips here and let the motion redirect you. The flow prompts you through the moment — including your own notes, written in a calmer moment for exactly this one.
You don't have to abstain every time. Just walking through the flow deliberately counts — each pass lays down another layer of the new habit.
Also in the app — each one serves a specific role
You can't step beside a craving you can't see. The check-in builds the habit of noticing your inner state before the craving fires — creating the gap between impulse and response.
Writing is the settling mechanism. Even one sentence shifts you from automatic mode to observer mode.
The list of things that truly nourish you, built in a calm moment, becomes the resource you reach for in a pressured one. Meeting the real need, not the craving.
Patterns only become visible over time. Always 9pm, always after a hard call, always stress — clarity that comes from looking back, not just looking inward.
Make it yours
Go to Settings to add your name, your known trigger patterns, and your personal activities. The more SoYi knows about you from the start, the more useful it is at the moment you need it. You can update these any time.
