How can we help?

It shows you the choice you already made: “Instead of scrolling in bed — you’d rather read one page of my book”, with the easiest way in. Tap “I’m doing it” and your count goes up. That’s the whole app, on purpose.

Nothing bad. “Not right now” gives you three gentle paths — something else, a minute to breathe, or “not tonight”, which closes with no guilt. Nothing ever counts against you; there are no streaks to lose.

Free, always: one active swap, the button on your lock screen (iPhone) or notification shade (Android), your full count and milestones, the breathing pauses, and crisis support. No account needed. Premium adds more active swaps, per-swap reminders, AI suggestions, every placement (widgets, watch, Action Button…), and 19 more colours.

In the app: You → Add the button. Every surface has numbered steps, and where your phone allows it, a button that does the setup for you. iPhone surfaces like Siri, Back Tap and the Action Button all share one small shortcut the app helps you create.

They’re stored on your phone. If you sign in, they’re also backed up to your own space so a new phone can restore them. When you save a swap, its text is safety-checked on our EU server so the app can offer real help if it reads like more than a habit — it isn’t stored there. AI suggestions (Premium) send only the swaps you can already see. Full details: the privacy policy.

No. It doesn’t watch your screen time, track your location, or score you. It only knows what you type into it, and the only number is a count that goes up.

Nothing is deleted, ever. Your extra swaps “rest” — held gently, switchable any time — and one stays active. Premium brings them all back exactly as you left them.

Through the store, not the app: iPhone — Settings → your name → Subscriptions → I’d Rather → Cancel. Android — Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → I’d Rather → Cancel. You keep Premium until the period ends. (In the app: You → Subscription → “Change or cancel” jumps straight there.)

You → Privacy & data → Export my data — a JSON file with your swaps, count and settings, shared wherever you choose.

It works on the wrist: press, choose, breathe, count. Your swaps and colour sync from the phone; wrist swaps sync back when the phone is nearby.

Because some things deserve more than an app. If a swap reads like it’s about self-harm, an eating disorder, or substances, I’d Rather won’t cheer it — it offers real resources first, and treats you like an adult throughout. It’s a safety net, not a diagnosis.
