Feeling stuck in a vaping or smoking loop? Taking back control can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it all at once. PuffKill is a mindful habit tracker that helps you reduce vaping or smoking gradually — with progressive structure, meaningful data, and calm focus. It’s built for anyone who wants to quit vaping, stop smoking, or simply track nicotine use more mindfully. HOW IT WORKS: THE “WAIT & PUFF” SYSTEM PuffKill combines mindfulness with measurable structure through a simple two-timer system. 1. Wait Timer: Start a break between puffing sessions. This builds discipline, saves time, and boosts your streak. Use built-in breathing exercises or “Kill Time” mini-games to stay calm during cravings. 2. Puff Timer: When your wait ends, a shorter timer begins — helping you stay aware and intentional about every puff. 3. Progressive Quitting: Ready for a challenge? Set the “Wait” time to automatically increase after each completed round. Build resistance, extend breaks, and gradually break the cycle. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS & BUILD A STREAK Motivation comes from progress — and PuffKill gives you all the data that matters. • Daily Streaks: Build consistency and stay accountable. • Vital Stats: Track total time puffed, rounds completed, longest wait, and weekly charts. • Daily & Weekly Insights: Watch your total puff time and puffs per day shrink as your self-control grows. Whether you’re looking to quit for good or simply cut back, PuffKill gives you the structure and motivation to stay on course. INTEGRATED WITH YOUR iPHONE Stay on track with deep iOS integration: • Live Activities & Lock Screen: View your active timer directly on your Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island — no need to open the app. • iOS Widgets: Start your next round or check your stats instantly from the Home Screen. • Smart Notifications: Gentle reminders keep you aware and on schedule. • Customizable Design: Choose sounds, toggle notifications, and adjust timers to match your rhythm.
