WAVE

Marlatt's MBRP protocol, personalized in real time

When a craving hits, start here.

One clear path into an urge-surfing session. No account, no setup, no typing required to begin.

WAVE is an offline-first, medication-aware urge surfing companion for SUD recovery. It learns your personal high-risk windows, notifies you before the next craving peaks, and guides you through evidence-based sessions tuned to what's actually happening in your body, including whether your medication is working right now.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP. WAVE is a support tool, not a substitute for a counselor, prescriber, or crisis line.

What WAVE does

Six things every other urge-surfing tool misses.

  • Three-tap intake

    Intensity, medication status, trigger. No typing required to start a session, meet the craving in 30 seconds.

  • Medication-aware acknowledgment

    Pharmacologically correct, trauma-informed copy tuned to whether you took your Suboxone, missed a dose, or are on Naltrexone.

  • Ride the wave

    An animated wave with adaptive narration for the rise, peak, and fall, plus a live slider so you can feel the drop.

  • Your data, shown back to you

    After seven sessions, see how much further cravings fall on medication days. Adherence becomes something you can see.

  • Prophylactic notifications

    Your history predicts your high-risk windows. WAVE pings you 15 minutes before, while you still have agency.

  • Offline-first and private

    The production app runs Gemma 4 on-device. No account, no upload, no cloud. Your recovery stays on your phone.

The medication difference

A 7/10 craving at hour 4 post-Suboxone is not the same craving as one at hour 22. Generic apps ignore this. WAVE doesn't.

“Your Suboxone is working right now. What you're feeling at a 7 would be a 9 or 10 without it. Let's work with what's left.”
