How it works
Answer one question
Every day, Crush the orangutan asks: too many treats today? Tap yes or no. That’s the whole workout.
Understand your cravings
Optionally note what you had — that extra slice, the after-dinner candy. Patterns appear, guilt doesn’t.
Collect apes, not streaks
Clean days attract new apes to your planet. A slip never resets you to zero — your apes are always a few good days away.

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop sugar cravings?
Cravings fade when you notice them instead of fighting them: eat regular meals, drink water first, and break the habit moments (the 3pm office snack, the after-dinner treat). No Treat Today helps you spot those patterns by tracking each craving with a simple yes or no.
How long do sugar cravings last?
An individual craving usually passes in 10–20 minutes. Overall, most people report cravings dropping sharply after about four weeks of eating less sugar — which is exactly the kind of progress the app makes visible.
Can I quit sugar without going cold turkey?
Yes — gradual reduction is more sustainable for most people. No Treat Today is built for it: clean days don’t have to be consecutive, and a treat never resets your progress to zero.
Do I have to count calories or log every food?
No. You answer one question — “too many treats today?” — with a yes or a no. You can optionally note what you had, but there’s no calorie counting, no barcode scanning, no food database.
What happens if I break my streak?
Nothing dramatic — that’s the point. Your collected apes stay with you, and your next clean days keep counting. Diets fail when one slip feels like starting over; No Treat Today never punishes you for being human.
Does it work for alcohol and snacks too?
Yes. You define what counts as a “treat”: sugar, fast food, snacks, alcohol, or anything you want to cut back on. Many people use it to track alcohol-free days.
Is No Treat Today free?
The app is free to download and use. Unlocking every feature and all the collectible apes requires a subscription or a one-time purchase — no ads either way.
