How do I use Ride It Out?

Ride It Out is a three-minute guided breathing session with Pip. Follow the on-screen rhythm, optionally rate your craving before and after, and finish whenever you need to. Three minutes describes the session length. It does not mean a craving will end or that medical support is unnecessary.

How do I use the session?

1. Open Ride It Out when you want a pause.
2. Follow four seconds in and six seconds out.
3. Add optional before-and-after craving ratings.
4. Finish or end early; ending early still saves the session.

What does it not do?

The timer does not predict craving duration. Pip is an animated companion, not conversational AI. Uncanned does not diagnose or treat dependence.
