EasyQuit
Read full descriptionHide full description
This isn't an app for white-knuckling it. You can still be smoking. Set your quit date later. First look at what you believe cigarettes do for you and test each belief. The more you understand, the less there is to resist. EasyQuit takes apart the illusion nicotine builds. "It relieves stress." "I need it to focus." "Quitting means losing something." Once those fall, a cigarette isn't something to resist. It's something you don't want. No scare tactics, no guilt. The sharp edge points at the cigarette, never at you. ■ TWO CHARACTERS The nicotine ghost: it repeats what you've told yourself for years. A cigarette with the morning coffee. How else do I handle stress. Around your old smoking hours, it may knock first and invite you to a battle. Your mate: pick one of four. It answers the ghost for you, tells a 30-day series of truths and asks how the cravings went each day. Pick a vibe; "Spicy Humor" is blunter. The target is always nicotine, never you. ■ ACT 1 · AWAKENING: you don't have to quit yet When the ghost appears, pick a truth card and summon your mate. The 4 things cigarettes seem to give you (pleasure, stress relief, focus, a break) and the 3 ways they keep you hooked (craving, the illusion of freedom, the addiction loop). 34 exchanges strip them away one by one. ■ ACT 2 · DEEP AWAKENING: when the scary part is what comes after The screen turns indigo and the ghost changes tactics: now it's life without cigarettes that will be unbearable. Mornings will feel empty. One bad day and you'll fold. You never had the willpower anyway. Then it shows the present: leaving a restaurant before the main course, the calculator running in your head all day. 61 exchanges cover both. Press Start Quitting and the ghost throws six false beliefs back at you. If any still hold, it suggests a review, but never blocks you. Starting is your call. ■ ACT 3 · FREEDOM: count what comes back, not days endured - Time smoke-free and money reclaimed - Hall of Records: five medals for start, 7, 30, 100 and 365 days - Goal countdown: a trip, a birthday, whatever you name it - Share cards: the Hall's medal art, square and story formats - Three Home and Lock Screen widgets: Smoke-Free Clock, Body Recovery, SOS Quick Access - Body recovery timeline: 20 minutes to 5 years, general recovery information (not a health measurement or diagnosis) - Weekly report: once a week from day 7 ■ WHEN A CRAVING HITS: PREMIUM - SOS: the chat you open in a crisis, one episode per crisis - 3-minute timer: time left stays visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Victory card: run the timer out, tap "I beat it," and it stays as proof for next time - If you smoked: pick the situation and talk it through, no blame. It never touches your day count, medals or widgets - Your mate reaches out first around your vulnerable hours - Your mate remembers past conversations and picks up from there. What it remembers is sent to the AI to continue the conversation; clear it in Settings ■ PRICING The awakening journey is split into truth levels, and Level 1 is free. Level 2 onward, plus crisis chats and the "If you smoked" flow, unlocks with Premium: a one-time purchase, not a subscription, restorable on a new device. Mate chat costs crackers per message, separate from Premium: 2 on the basic model, 3 on the smarter one. You get 30 to start; packs are 60, 200 and 600. Crackers are consumable, so leftover balance isn't restored on reinstall. The Hall of Records, medals, goal countdown, widgets, share cards and notifications work without Premium. The SOS widget is free to place; its chat is Premium. ■ OUR PROMISE - No rushing you. Nothing is tracked until you set a date. - No diseased-lung photos. No guilt. - You are not a weak person. You were sold a very good trick. Korean, English, German, Spanish. The whole story in your language. EasyQuit does not provide medical advice. For treatment decisions or cessation aids, consult a qualified professional.
