About Firmhold
Firmhold is a pattern tracker for people trying to stop relapsing. You log in about 20 seconds whether you relapsed or survived an urge, the time and your stress level, and after 15 entries a pattern engine analyzes the data to find peak risk times, the highest-risk days and the dominant trigger. The aim is to flag a high-risk period while it is under way, ahead of a relapse instead of in hindsight.
It deliberately avoids streak counters and shame framing. A behavioral calendar shows a month map of when you struggled and when you held, a panic button is always free and anonymous share links are available. The site states that analysis uses server-side heuristics only, with no AI, and that data is never sold. It is aimed at men aged 22 to 30. You can start free with no card, and the site mentions a 30-day money-back guarantee and cancellation at any time for paid features such as the personalized risk report.
