Puff Drop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Puff Drop makes every puff visible — then quietly makes your daily limit smaller until you reach zero, on your terms. One big tap. That's the habit. Tap once per puff. Haptic, instant, with undo. Log a whole session with +5 / +10 / +20 if you don't tap every time. Add a puff from the Lock Screen, Control Center or your wrist without opening the app. A limit that shrinks on its own. Tell Puff Drop roughly how much you vape and pick a quit date. Your daily limit starts where you are today and steps down a little each day. Not sure where you are? Track for three days first and let the numbers set your starting point. Streaks you can see. Every day under your limit adds to the streak. Go over and the app says so plainly — "Over by 3 today" — no lectures, no guilt. Money and puffs back in your pocket. Enter what a pod or disposable costs and Puff Drop shows what you've saved, how many puffs you've avoided and how much nicotine you've skipped — in your currency, updated as you go. A timer for the hard minutes. When a craving hits, open the 3-minute breathing ring. Tap "It passed" and it's logged as a craving beaten. Tap "I vaped" and nothing is hidden from you. Milestone cards worth sharing. 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1,000 puffs avoided, 50 cravings passed — every milestone becomes a clean card you can post or keep. Widgets, Control Center and Apple Watch. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with a +1 button. A Control Center button for the fastest possible tap. An Apple Watch app with today's ring, the craving timer and complications. Your data stays yours. Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no analytics. Export everything as JSON or CSV whenever you like. PUFF DROP PREMIUM Quit plans that adapt: curved tapers, weekend-aware limits, cold turkey with a countdown, a maintain mode, and a re-plan when you slip — keep your date with a steeper taper, or push your date and keep your pace. Unlimited history and insights: time-of-day and weekday patterns, trigger tags (stress, social, alcohol, boredom, after a meal) and plain-arithmetic insights like "62% of your puffs are after 9 pm". Savings goals: attach something you want and see the day you can afford it. Longer craving sessions and distraction tasks, multiple reminders with quiet hours, iCloud sync, themes and app icons. Puff Drop is a self-tracking tool for adults 18 and over. It is not a substitute for professional help. If you want support quitting, a list of free public quitlines is available in Settings. Premium is available as an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Puff Drop at every 4 weeks against QuitMode's every 3 months. QuitMode's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
