Craving Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pause Timer is a simple "emergency brake" between the urge and the habit. The app helps you not ban everything at once, but buy time: postpone the next stick/cigarette/puff, spot patterns, and gradually increase intervals. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap one big button โ the timer starts from your last time. 2. If too soon โ the app shows how long to wait (it factors in how many "chances" you have left today). 3. Before logging, pick a reason: habit, stress, boredom, other, or "don't know." Tips help you switch focus and ride out the peak. WHAT'S INSIDE โข Circular timer โ shows how much time has passed. โข Recommended interval โ gently reminds when to wait a bit longer. โข Daily counter โ limit and "how many left" in clear blocks. โข Weekly chart โ 7-day progress: where control grows, where it dips. โข Craving reasons โ see triggers (stress/boredom/habit) and act on them. โข Tip reminders โ short ideas for what to do instead of autopilot. FOR WHO โ If you want to quit and care about small steps. โ If you use cigarettes, vape, or heated tobacco (sticks) and want to keep the habit under control. โ If you slip on autopilot and want awareness without guilt. PRINCIPLES โข No guilt or pressure: you decide how to use the app. โข No sign-up: everything works right away. โข Privacy: data stays on your device. No accounts or server uploads. WHY A TIMER Cravings come in waves: first "need it now," then it gets easier. The timer shifts focus from "want" to "wait a bit longer." You see numbers, not feelings โ that reduces autopilot. IMPORTANT This app is not a medical device. If you need help with addiction โ seek a specialist.
