Is food noise the same as a craving?
Not quite, and the difference matters for what helps. A craving is a peak: it arrives, it is loud, and it passes. Food noise is usually described as the background rather than the peak, running all day at a lower volume. The exercises here are built for the peak. They are not a treatment for the background, and nobody has tested them on it.
Will this help with food noise at night?
Night is when people search for this most, and the honest answer is that the app does the same thing at 11pm as at any other hour. There is nothing special in it for the evening. What it does have is a sequence that runs on one tap, which is a lower bar than deciding what to do when you are tired.
Does the app know this is about food?
No. It never asks what the urge is about and there is no field where you type it. That is deliberate: the same six minutes runs whether it is food, a vape, a bet or a bottle, and the app cannot disclose something it never collected.
Are there streaks or reminders?
Neither, and there never will be. Nothing counts days, so nothing resets after a bad night. And an app that sends notifications about food is an app that puts food in your head on a schedule you did not choose.
Where else can I get help?
This is one technique for the few minutes when an urge peaks. It is not treatment and it is not a substitute for it.
If you are taking or have recently stopped a GLP-1, your prescriber is the right person to ask about appetite changes. If eating feels out of control, or you are restricting between episodes, a clinician who treats eating disorders is the right referral and your regular doctor can usually make it.
