You just needed a minute.A pause before you eat.
Bide is a one-minute pause before you eat. Not a diet app, not a gate — just a moment to notice the urge, then decide.
What's the hunger like right now?

How it works
Step 1 — Notice
The urge shows up
Bide notices it with you — no lecture, no logging chore.
Step 2 — Sit with it
A one-minute pause
Watch it pass, or don't. Either way, nothing gets locked.
Step 3 — Decide
You choose what happens next
On your terms. Eat, wait, or walk away — always your call.
Beyond Bide
The pause follows you to the apps that matter.
Choose the apps that get you — DoorDash, Uber Eats, whatever's yours. Bide steps in for five seconds before they open. No block, no lecture. Just a breath, then your call.

breathe in, breathe out
No block. No lecture. Just a breath — then your call.
Inside the app
Quiet screens for the moment you're in — no streaks to protect, no scores to chase.
Home
Your evening, at a glance
A quiet greeting, not a dashboard. Bide opens to where you are right now — no streaks staring back, no guilt trip disguised as a home screen.
Progress
Minutes, not a streak to protect
Every pause adds up, quietly. Missing a day doesn't break anything — there's no chain to lose, just a gentle record of moments you showed up for yourself.

Common questions
- Will it block my food apps?

- Is this a diet or calorie app?
- No. No food logging, no calorie counting, no streak guilt. Just a one-minute pause.
- What if I still eat after the pause?
- That's fine. The point is noticing, not winning. Eat, wait, or walk away — Bide doesn't punish either choice.
- Are there streaks or scores?
- No. Progress is a soft record of minutes you paused — nothing to protect, nothing that breaks if you miss a day.
- What are Guarded Apps?
- An optional pause before apps you choose — like DoorDash or Uber Eats. Five seconds, then your call. Nothing gets locked.
- Is Bide free?
- Yes — free to start. Some optional features may be part of Bide+ later, billed through the App Store or Google Play.
- Is this medical or therapy advice?
- No. Bide is a pause companion, not a medical device, diet program, or substitute for professional care.
