Iota. keeps track of your recovery: the days since you stopped, the money you have earned back, the cravings you got through, and the relapses you had. No judgement, no confetti. Simple. Modern. Free. Private. —WHAT YOU CAN DO— *Track What You Are Leaving Behind Smoking, vaping, alcohol, other substances, gambling, screen time, junk food — or anything you name yourself. Track several at once: each one has its own counters. *Get Through Cravings Tap Craving when one hits. The screen shows what you already have to show for it and one of the reasons you wrote down, while a five-minute countdown holds the relapse button shut. Log the ones you get through. *Record Relapses Without Losing Everything Your current run goes back to zero, but nothing recorded disappears: your longest stretch, your total days without, the money earned and every calendar mark all stay. *See The Money Iota. multiplies your days without by what the habit used to cost. Set a savings goal and see how far away it still is. *Follow Your Recovery Health milestones drawn from published cessation timelines, and a withdrawal curve that weights the early days for what they really are. *Set Reminders Up to five a day, at the times you choose, in the tone you pick — encouraging, blunt, or the words you wrote yourself. *Apple Watch Your counters on the home screen, the lock screen and the watch face. Log a craving or a relapse from your wrist — it syncs with your iPhone, and the other way round. *Export Your Data Download your record as a CSV or a detailed PDF report — for yourself, or for a clinician. —PRIVACY FIRST— Your data never leaves your device or iCloud. Without an account or internet connection, Iota. works entirely offline. No analytics, no trackers, no ads. All your entries — dates, cravings, relapses, notes — stay with you. —MEDICAL DISCLAIMER— This app is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Withdrawal from some substances can be dangerous without medical supervision. If you have concerns about your health, please consult a qualified healthcare provider. —LANGUAGES— English, French —CONTACT & SUPPORT— Questions or feedback?
