## What is QUITTAO?

When an unwanted urge hits, QUITTAO gives you something immediate to do:
breathe.

Use a 12-second, 1-minute, or 3-minute Taoist breathing reset to pause the
impulse, settle your attention, and choose what happens next.

QUITTAO is more than a habit counter. It combines in-the-moment breathing tools
with a daily Taoist practice for people working to change smoking, compulsive
scrolling, impulse of Desire, and other unwanted habits.

**MEET THE URGE WITH BREATH**

- Start a 12-second Instant Reset when an urge appears
- Take one minute to regain control
- Use a three-minute guided practice when you need more time
- Return directly from quick-access widgets

**ROOTED IN TAOIST PRACTICE**

- Explore six guided Taoist breathing exercises
- Practice DanTian Breathing, Energy Flow, Modified Turtle Breath, and more
- Reflect with Laozi AI when you feel stuck
- Learn Taoist principles through short TaoTok lessons
- Draw daily wisdom from the Tao Te Ching

**BUILD CONSISTENCY**

- Record completed breathing sessions
- Follow your practice calendar and streak
- Keep progress visible with Home Screen widgets
- Use morning and evening reminders to build a steady routine

**A SIMPLE PRACTICE**

1. Open QUITTAO when an urge appears.
2. Choose the reset that fits the moment.
3. Breathe, pause, and decide what comes next.

Change does not require a perfect streak. Begin with one breath, then the next.

Download QUITTAO and meet the next urge differently.

### 5/5 — Question

*2025-12-06*

Hi. When I try to select the other meditations, it says “ coming soon”. When will they be available to me? Overall, great app.

**Developer response:** First, a huge thank you for your support of QUITTAO. Your support directly fuels the development of this app.

To answer your question: I am currently finalizing the production of the next meditation card, "Inner 80/Outer 20", which will be live in the app by this week(depend on Apple app reviewing progress).

Since I hand-craft these sessions to align strictly with Taoist core principles, I release them one by one to ensure the quality is perfect.

I’d love your input: aside from the one coming this week, which of the remaining "Coming Soon" topics would be most helpful to you right now? I can prioritize the next release based on your specific needs.

Best wishes.

### 5/5 — Energy transformer

*2025-05-23*

I appreciate how this app combines ancient Taoist wisdom with modern habit-breaking strategies; the sessions feel both authentic and accessible. The guided Taoist breathing meditations are not only calming but also empower me to redirect my energy effectively. The 5- and 15-minute sessions fit perfectly into my busy mornings, setting a focused tone for the day.

Also, the streak tracker and cute widgets offer fun and practical ways to keep me motivated and see my progress over time.

One suggestion for future updates: it would be great to see more meditation courses. While the 5-15 minute sessions are ideal for quick resets, adding some varied meditation courses—perhaps longer sessions or theme-based meditations—could offer even more balance and flexibility for different moods or times of day.

Overall, this small app is thoughtfully designed, respectful of its Taoist roots, and genuinely helpful for anyone committed to breaking unwanted habits. It’s become an essential part of my routine, and I can feel the difference in my focus and mental clarity. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a balanced and innovative approach to self-improvement.
