CoughPro has been redesigned from top to bottom to be faster, capture more coughs, and give you more insights into your cough so that you can manage it better. When we want to manage our weight, we use a bathroom scale. When we want to increase our activity, we count our steps. And when we have a fever, we use a thermometer to gauge how high it is. But until now, with cough, we just guessed whether it was high or low, increasing or decreasing, happening more at one time of the day or night. CoughPro solves this problem by detecting and quantifying your cough passively and unobtrusively on your phone, so you know the frequency and patterns of your coughing. It gives you clarity about your cough, by instantly showing you your cough count. CoughPro, powered by Hyfe, uses artificial intelligence to distinguish between coughs and other, similar sounds. It preserves your privacy by performing all of the acoustic analysis on your phone, so your data stays with you. If you have a problematic cough, use CoughPro to make your cough count! The accuracy of the data collected and presented through CoughTracker has not been evaluated by the FDA. It is not intended for use in medical decision-making, including presenting cough information to healthcare professionals for the management of symptoms or conditions. Always seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions based on your cough data.

Stop vaping. Watch your lungs heal. The more you vape, the more your lungs rot. Puff Lung makes that real. Every puff drops your health. Every clean stretch starts bringing it back. It's not a streak counter or a calendar — it's a cartoon lung that visibly decays as you go over your goal, then heals when you commit to a detox. If you're tired of "you can do this!" apps that ignore what your habit is actually costing you, Puff Lung is built different. HOW IT WORKS — Set your baseline. Tell us where you are now. No judgment. — Pick your pace. Cut 1, 2, 3, or more puffs per day. Whatever you can keep. — Tap every puff. Stay under your goal and your lungs stay healthy. Go over and they start to rot. — Slip up? We adjust. Tomorrow's goal moves up to where you actually were, so it stays reachable. Then we keep working back down. — Detox to heal. Run a 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, or 4h detox. Stay clean and your lungs gain health. Vape during detox and every puff counts double. FEATURES • 20-stage cartoon lung that visibly rots and heals in real time • Home screen widget — see your lung from your home screen at a glance • Detox sessions with health rewards (up to +20 health for 4 hours clean) • Adaptive daily goal that responds to your real usage instead of giving up on you • Money calculator — see what your habit costs per week, per year, and over your lifetime • What you could afford instead — based on your spending: a weekend in Cancun, 10 days in Japan, an African safari, 3 months backpacking Southeast Asia • Full history with daily lung-stage tracking • Trigger and reason mapping to keep your "why" in front of you • 100% local data — your puff log never leaves your phone PUFF LUNG UNLIMITED The core tracker is free. Puff Lung Unlimited unlocks: — Detox sessions with health rewards — Plus button on the home screen widget for one-tap logging — Full unlimited history — Custom reward selection Puff Lung Unlimited is available as a weekly or monthly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period end at the listed price. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your device's Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription at the trial's end unless canceled. WHO IT'S FOR People who already know vaping is bad for them and want to actually do something about it. Built for the kind of person who can take a hit of reality alongside a hit of accountability. If your last quit attempt got eaten by another disposable, this is the tool that doesn't let you forget what's happening to your lungs. HEALTH DISCLAIMER Puff Lung is for self-tracking and motivational purposes only. The lung visualizations are stylized cartoons, not a clinical assessment of your physical health. We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have any health condition, consult a qualified healthcare provider before changing your nicotine, tobacco, or vaping use. PRIVACY Everything you enter — counts, goals, history, triggers, reasons — stays on your phone. We don't run a server. We don't sell your data. We can't, because we don't have it.
