"Quitting doesn’t have to feel like losing control."
Quitting any substance cold turkey is tough — physically, mentally, and emotionally
The fear of losing something you rely on — even temporarily — can create anxiety, doubt, and inaction. Many modern substances are designed to foster dependence, making it feel nearly impossible to enjoy them without slipping into overuse.
Kurb is here to change that.
We help you build a healthier relationship with your substance of choice by combining secure storage, personalized use schedules, and real-time feedback — so you can cut back gradually, regain control, and even save some money in the process.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Set Your Baseline
Start with a short questionnaire to assess your current use and goals. Whether you're cutting back or taking control, Kurb meets you where you are.
2
Lock It In with Kurb
Choose the Kurb box that fits your needs — whether it’s for vapes, pouches, alcohol, or more.
You can lock by time windows (for casual users) or by number of opens (ideal for heavier use).
Your products stay secure, and access happens only when it should.
3
Follow Your Plan
Your custom schedule does the work for you — simply follow the plan.
Need to make adjustments? You get to adjust right after the initial plan generation, and also once after!

Track Your Progress
Kurb shows you how far you’ve come with real data — track usage, reductions, and savings over time.
Stay motivated with each milestone.
5
Feel the Change
Less anxiety. More clarity. More money in your pocket.
By gradually reducing, you’ll feel the results physically, mentally, and financially — all without the pressure of quitting cold turkey.
The Hidden Costs of Everyday Addictions
Millions struggle with habits that seem small but slowly build into dependence. Cannabis, vaping, and social apps are engineered for frequent use — making control difficult. Kurb helps you take back control through smart, sustainable reduction.
Cannabis — "High Potency, High Frequency"

-
Nicotine reaches the brain in ~10 seconds, reinforcing constant micro-use
Nicotine salts and disposables create rapid spikes that encourage hundreds of small hits a day, making spacing and self-control extremely challenging.
Social Media — “Dopamine Loops, No Stopping Cues”
KEY STATS
-
People check their phones 144–268 times/day
-
Adults spend 2.5–3.5 hours/day on social media
