## What is Pace?

Pace takes a different approach to quitting smoking. There's no rigid quit date, no countdown to "the one day" when you have to stop from one moment to the next. Instead, you gradually stretch the time between two cigarettes – like a race driver improving their lap times stint by stint.

The idea is simple: every cigarette is a pit stop. Between them, your stint timer runs. Your goal is to slowly stretch the gap – at a pace that feels right for you. No pressure, no guilt, no all-or-nothing. Just a gap that grows a little bigger week after week.

That's what makes it stick: your body and your mind get used to longer breaks, without the hard break that so many attempts fail on. Eventually the gap is so wide that the last cigarette simply never comes.

And when you're ready to take the final step on purpose, you set a quit date. Pace tells you honestly that stretching alone isn't the finish, helps you prepare for your triggers – and from your quit day the real race begins: smoke-free, with a day counter, a live timer, and a celebration for every day you win.

What Pace gives you:
- A gauge cockpit with a live stint timer – always see how far your current run has come
- Pit-stop tracking instead of bans: every cigarette is logged, without judgment
- Visible progress: money saved, cigarettes avoided, days in the race
- An optional quit companion: a countdown to your quit day, then smoke-free mode with a live timer
- Goals: savings goals with a name and price that your saved money fills up – with a notification when you reach one
- Recovery facts: what heals in your body hour by hour, day by day
- Trophies & garage: reached milestones to look back on
- Weekly analysis: your triggers, patterns and the downward trend
- A breathing exercise for acute cravings
- An optional weekly goal that gently stretches your gap further

Pace Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription):
- Race Engineer: deep analysis of your patterns by time of day, weekday and trigger
- Neon skins: 10 designs that recolour the whole app
- Live Activity & Dynamic Island: your stint timer right on the lock screen

Your data stays on your device. No tracking, no ads, no accounts.

Don't start with a date. Start with your next stint – the date comes when you're ready.

Smoke-free mode gets real.

• Your quit moment now has a time — the countdown runs to the exact minute.
• From the stop, stints end — no more race countdown, now your smoke-free race is on.

Your optional quit companion is here.

• Set a quit date – when YOU'RE ready. Pace honestly explains what the step means and helps you prepare for your known triggers.
• Smoke-free mode: from your quit day, the real race begins – day counter, live timer, breathing exercise up front, and a celebration for every new smoke-free day.
• New "Goals" tab: set savings goals (e.g. headphones for €79). Your saved money fills them – and you get a notification the moment you reach one.

Stretching is still the path – now you can see it through.
