How it works
Forty seconds, start to ash.
Two punches, in the order that works: one rational, one emotional. Neither of them asks you to be stronger than you were five minutes ago.
01 — Capture
Name the desire
Photograph the thing in a shop, paste a link, or just write the sentence. Add what it costs — and, if it's a habit, how often it repeats. A €429 one-off and €40 of drinks every Friday are both first-class citizens here.
- Photo, link, or plain text
- One-off or recurring
- Emotional desires with no price tag are allowed too
02 — Shock
See what it actually costs
The app answers with one number: what that money becomes if it stays invested until you're 65. It shows the rate and the horizon on the card, so the figure is auditable rather than a scare. Change the assumed return in Settings if 7% isn't your number.
- Compound value at 10, 20 and 30 years
- Installment plans included, interest and all
- Recurring habits priced across the whole horizon
03 — Burn
Give the craving an ending
The room goes dark — the only dark screen in the app. Press and hold, and a GPU fire eats across the photo along a real burning front, glowing at the edge and curling the paper. Let go and it stops. Hold to the end and it's gone.
- 60fps fragment shader, no video, no canned animation
- Press-and-hold, so the ending is something you did
- Re-burn the same desire as often as it comes back
Seven ways to end it
The ritual is the same. The ending is yours to pick.
Burning a €400 impulse is not the same act as letting go of a person, so the app offers more than one way for a thing to stop existing. Each has its own sound and throws its own colour of light into the room.
Fire
FreeThe original. A ragged orange front eats across the page, curling the edge as it goes.
Shredder
FreeSteel teeth take the page and give back ribbons. Office light, not firelight — unsentimental on purpose.
Ash
ProNo flame at all. The page cools, greys, and crumbles away to nothing.
Cold flame
ProA gas-blue burn that bleaches the page instead of charring it. The room turns cold.
Dissolve
ProUnder water. The ink lifts off the page and drifts away in a green-blue light.
Static
ProA screen dying. It tears, turns to snow, and switches off.
Black hole
ProThe newest. A singularity opens in the middle and the picture falls in — spiralling, stretching, gone through a ring of light.
Fire and the Shredder are free — one flame, one machine, so the free tier is a real choice rather than a demo. The rest come with Pro.
And then the lights come back on
Wake up with the money still in your account.
The fire is one screen. The rest of the app is daylight — what you kept, what you resisted, and how much of it is quietly compounding.
