When a craving hits, you need something to do in that minute. Not a lecture. Not willpower. Something in your hand. BeQuit is that something: when it hits, reach for your phone instead of the pack. ONE TAP WHEN IT HITS Tap SOS and the screen goes calm. Puffy breathes with you, in for four, out for six. Need more? Delay the craving, play a quick game, read your own reason for quitting, write it out, or let Puffy talk you through it. SOS is never locked and never slow. A MOVE FOR EVERY MOMENT Morning, coffee, the work break, after a meal, a drink, stress, boredom, the drive, the phone call, the argument. Twelve everyday moments, each with three small moves that take under a minute. Hold one, get through the moment, and watch that moment become yours again: "Coffee, mastered." EVERY WIN, COUNTED Days smoke-free, cigarettes you didn't light, money you kept, hours you didn't spend smoking. Every milestone gets its moment, and Puffy is there for each one. YOUR QUIT, LIVE Today shows your smoke-free time as it runs and the next milestone coming up. What's happening in your body is described along the way, based on public health sources. A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOUR MOMENTS Tell BeQuit when it hits you hardest and why you're quitting. You get a plan for the first days, the hard ones included, before they come. A SHORT LESSON EACH DAY Small, practical reads for the moment you're in, each ending with one thing to try today. SOMEONE IN YOUR CORNER Invite one person. They see your progress and can send you a word when you need it. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets put SOS and your smoke-free time one tap away. BeQuit supports your quit. It is not a medical device and does not replace advice from your doctor. SUBSCRIPTION BeQuit requires a subscription. Plans and prices are shown in the app before you buy.

Cold turkey works for almost no one. Stepdown gets you off nicotine by stepping down; small, scheduled reductions your body barely notices, until one day the number is zero. Works for vapes, nicotine pouches, cigarettes, nicotine gum, lozenges, heated tobacco and snus. Answer a few questions and see, free: your Nic Score (how tight a grip nicotine actually has on your day), your personal staircase, and your projected quit date. YOUR STAIRCASE - A plan of small steps; each one holds your daily limit slightly lower while your body adjusts - One-tap logging for every pouch, puff, pod or cigarette - An AI coach that knows your exact plan and answers at 2am - A panic button for cravings; most pass in about three minutes - Danger-window alerts that fire before your risky hours, not after - Step briefings, daily debriefs, and body-recovery milestones - A savings jar showing the money you keep instead of burn WHY STEPPING DOWN WORKS Quitting all at once means peak withdrawal, peak irritability, and peak chance of a bad day that convinces you that you can't do it. Stepping down spreads that cost across weeks, so no single day has to be the day you quit quitting. WENT OVER? KEEP GOING Go over your limit and nothing resets. The staircase adjusts and continues. There is no streak to break and no starting over. FREE Your Nic Score, staircase preview, and quit date. A subscription is required for the full plan, coach, and tracking. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Stepdown is a habit app, not a medical service. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have a medical concern, talk to a healthcare provider.
