Catching the urge
How do I log an episode?
Open the app and tap the large button on the Home tab — "The urge is here". That's it, the moment is marked. To add a feeling, trigger, or note, use the form that appears after saving and tap "Save details" when finished. Details are always optional — noticing is the practice.
How do I switch between habits?
Tap the habit name in the top-right corner of any screen (Home, Calendar, Analytics, History). You'll see a list of your habits and an option to add a new one. Adding more than one habit requires the Full access in-app purchase.
Data & Storage
Where is my data stored?
When you're signed in to iCloud, your data is stored in your private iCloud database under your Apple Account, via Apple's CloudKit — only you can read it, and it's backed up and synced across your devices. This is on by default and free. If you're not signed in to iCloud, Anxora stores everything locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework instead. Anxora itself runs no servers of its own and has no account system.
Can I move my data to a new phone?
With iCloud sync on: sign in to the same Apple Account on the new device and install Anxora. Your habit log will sync automatically.
Without iCloud (signed out): restore the new device from an encrypted iPhone backup that included Anxora. Standalone data export is not currently supported.
How do I delete a single entry?
History tab → swipe left on the entry → Delete. You can also tap an entry to edit it.
How do I delete everything?
- Local copy: uninstall the app — the local SwiftData storage is removed with it.
- iCloud copy (if you're signed in to iCloud): iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Anxora → "Delete Data".
How do I turn off iCloud sync?
For data safety, sync can only be turned off from iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Anxora. iOS will ask whether to keep or delete the local copy. This is the same pattern used by Notes, Reminders, and Health.
Purchases
How do I restore my purchase on a new device?
Settings → Purchases → "Restore purchases". This calls Apple's servers and re-applies any purchases tied to your Apple ID. Family Sharing is also supported — if a family member has Full access, you can use it from your own device.
Apple Watch
My Apple Watch entries aren't syncing.
Open Anxora on both your iPhone and Watch at least once. Make sure both devices are unlocked, paired, and in Bluetooth range. The Watch app uses Apple's WatchConnectivity framework, which queues messages while the iPhone is unreachable.
Features
What does Apple Health show in Analytics?
If you enable HealthKit in Settings, the Analytics screen overlays your episodes with your heart rate variability (HRV) and sleep data. This helps you spot whether poor sleep or low HRV correlate with harder days. HealthKit data is read on demand and never leaves your device through Anxora.
What are the fidget mini-games for?
Pimple Pop and Bubble Wrap are designed as a competing response — a core technique in Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for BFRBs. When you feel the urge to bite, pick, or pull, occupying your hands with a tactile activity reduces the likelihood of acting on the urge.
Does Anxora replace therapy?
No. Anxora is a self-tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For clinical BFRB treatment, consult a therapist trained in HRT or comprehensive behavioral treatment (ComB).
