About

Breaking Time

Features
Read full description

Breaking Time is a simple smoking tracker designed to help you understand your habits without turning the experience into a lecture. Log each cigarette with a quick two-step confirmation from the app, Home Screen widget, or Lock Screen widget. The app keeps track of your daily total, physical pack count, recent trends, and estimated savings automatically. Over time, Breaking Time learns your usual spacing between cigarettes. After 20 valid gaps have been recorded, the main control and widgets begin using subtle color guidance: • White — below your learned reference • Blue — reference reached • Green — around 5% beyond it • Gold — around 10% beyond it Your reference continues to adjust automatically from recent behavior. You do not need to manage targets or weekly goals. Statistics include recent 7-day comparisons, daily averages, cigarette totals, savings, longer-term history, and basic lifetime data. You can also adjust the physical pack count when cigarettes are shared, given away, or the remaining count needs correction without changing your smoking history. Breaking Time does not require an account, contains no ads, and does not send your smoking records to a server. Your data stays on your device.
