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 — the timer starts from your last time. 2. If too soon — 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 • Circular timer — shows how much time has passed. • Recommended interval — gently reminds when to wait a bit longer. • Daily counter — limit and "how many left" in clear blocks. • Weekly chart — 7-day progress: where control grows, where it dips. • Craving reasons — see triggers (stress/boredom/habit) and act on them. • Tip reminders — short ideas for what to do instead of autopilot. FOR WHO — If you want to quit and care about small steps. — If you use cigarettes, vape, or heated tobacco (sticks) and want to keep the habit under control. — If you slip on autopilot and want awareness without guilt. PRINCIPLES • No guilt or pressure: you decide how to use the app. • No sign-up: everything works right away. • 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 — that reduces autopilot. IMPORTANT This app is not a medical device. If you need help with addiction — seek a specialist.
