Every habit has a cost. See yours — down to the last second and cent. Smoke is a beautiful, honest tracker for the habits you want to understand and maybe finally cut down: cigarettes, spliffs, vapes, IQOS and nicotine pouches — each with its own hand-drawn, chalkboard look and a satisfying animation you'll actually want to open. LOG IT YOUR WAY • Start a timed session — tap to light up, tap to put out — and Smoke records exactly how long you really smoke. The more sessions you time, the smarter it learns your personal average. • In a hurry? Hold the button to count one instantly, logged at your average time. No fuss. FIVE HABITS, ONE GORGEOUS APP • Cigarette & spliff — light it, watch it burn down, feel the lighter through haptics. • Vape — hold it like a fire button; the coil glows and vapor rises with every draw. • IQOS — the holder heats your stick and toasts around the ring, with a buzz before it ends. • ZYN & nicotine pouches — hold to open the can and take one; it empties as your day goes on. NUMBERS THAT HIT HOME See the money you've spent, the hours you've lost, your habit measured in "burned Bitcoin," and just how close that spend is to a Lamborghini. Break it all down by product and by 7 days, month, year or lifetime. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with today's and this week's counts. • A full Apple Watch app — log straight from your wrist. • iCloud keeps every device in sync: iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. • Private by design — your data lives in your own iCloud, never sold, never shared. We don't judge. We just count — beautifully and honestly — so you can decide what comes next. Track your habit. We'll do the math.
