binge eating support app
Kippi is a warm friend that's there in the moment before or after a binge. No judgment. No streaks.
The iPhone app is coming this summer. In the meantime, you can talk to Kippi right now, on the web. No account, no sign-up. If you're in the middle of something hard, or you just want to see what it's like, it's there.
Open the web versionOne thing off plan. A day that wore you down. And now there's a pull - the voice that says today doesn't count anymore, so you might as well.
You know that switch. One moment you were fine. Then something flips, and by the time you notice, the window is already closing.
Every other app is waiting for you on the other side. Asking you to log, reflect, fill in a form. By then it's too late.
Kippi is for the window.
You don't have to know what to say. You open the app and Kippi is already there -- a small message waiting. You just talk. It stays with you while the feeling rises and falls.
It doesn't try to fix anything. It just doesn't leave.
And if you open it after a hard night - not before, but after - that door is just as open.
Every other app has a streak. And every streak is a number that resets when you slip - which means the thing you opened to help you becomes the thing that scores you.
That's not how this works. Slipping back is a normal part of the arc. Clinically expected. Not a verdict.
There's no streak in Kippi. Nothing to reset. If the first thing you want to say is "I just binged" - that's a first-class door, right on the home screen.
Without judgment. Without making it a big thing.
Kippi is built around urge surfing - the evidence-based idea that a craving is a wave. It rises, it peaks, it falls. Usually within twenty to thirty minutes. You don't have to defeat it. You just have to get to the other side.
It isn't therapy. It won't pretend to be. It's a friend for the moment - and it's honest about that.
Kippi is a warm AI companion for binge eating urges. You open the app and it is already there — a small message waiting. You do not have to know what to say. You just talk, and it stays with you while the feeling rises and falls.
It does not try to fix anything. It does not log food or count calories. It does not have a streak that resets when you slip. It just stays.
And if you open it after a hard night — not before, but after — that door is just as open.
Most apps for binge eating are built for reflection — logging after the fact, filling in forms, adding meals to a tracker. By then, the moment has already passed. Kippi is built for the window: the 20 to 30 minutes when the urge is actually happening.
There are no streaks in Kippi. No number that resets. Slipping back is a normal part of the arc for binge eating — clinically expected, not a verdict. "I just binged" is a first-class door on the home screen, not a confession box.
Urge surfing — the core mechanic — is a technique from DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), used in evidence-based treatment for binge eating. The idea: an urge is like a wave. It rises, peaks, and falls — usually within twenty to thirty minutes. You do not have to defeat it. You just have to get to the other side.
Kippi also does not have streaks, because CBT-E (the gold-standard clinical treatment for binge eating disorder) is clear that relapse is a normal part of recovery, not a failure.
It is not therapy. It will not pretend to be. It is a companion for the moment — built on the things that actually work.
No. Never. There is no logging, no tracking, no numbers of any kind. Research is consistent that calorie tracking and food logging worsen binge eating for many people. Kippi does not do any of that.
No. Kippi has no streaks. Streaks that reset when you slip are clinically backwards for binge eating recovery — relapse is a normal and expected part of the recovery arc, not a failure. An app that resets everything you built when you slip becomes something you dread opening precisely when you need it most. Kippi stays open. Nothing resets.
