About

Lowtide

Every nicotine habit looks different — a cigarette here, a few pouches there, a vape all day. Lowtide turns all of it into one honest number: milligrams per day. One curve, every form, so you can finally see the whole picture instead of guessing. WHY LOWTIDE • One number for everything. Cigarettes, vapes, and pouches are normalized to mg of nicotine — so a switch from smoking to pouches shows up as real progress, not a blind spot. • Logging takes under two seconds. One tap for a cigarette; a quick stepper for pouch strength or vape puffs. A gentle haptic, and you're done. • Calm by design. No red alarms, no shame, no streak-guilt. Dark-mode first, quiet colors, a tide that goes out as your intake falls. • Private by default. No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Your logs live on your device in Apple's on-device database. Nothing about your habit is uploaded. SEE YOUR PATTERN The home curve shows today's mg against your target. Statistics go deeper: average per day, week-over-week trend, distribution by form, time-of-day, and weekday patterns — so you learn when and how you reach for nicotine. ON-DEVICE AI INSIGHT (Apple Intelligence) When your device supports Apple Intelligence, Lowtide can write a short, plain-language weekly insight from your own data — naming one pattern and one gentle suggestion. It runs entirely on your device. Your data is never sent anywhere. GO FURTHER WITH PREMIUM • Taper plan — set a start, a goal, and a number of weeks; your daily target eases down on its own. • Harm-reduction switch — a reorderable path down through the forms (e.g. cigarette → vape → pouch → zero), at your pace. • Forecast & long-term trend — a 90-day view and an estimate of when you'll reach your goal at your current pace. • CSV export — your full history, yours to keep. • Home-screen widget — your day's mg and a one-tap quick-log. • Calibration — tune the mg-per-cigarette, pouch absorption, and mg-per-puff to your real products. Defaults are sensible starting points, never claimed to be exact. A NOTE ON HONESTY Nicotine content varies between products and people. Lowtide gives you a consistent, calibratable estimate — a trend you can trust to move in the right direction, not a lab measurement. Lowtide is a tracker, not therapy. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you want medical support to stop using nicotine, talk to a healthcare professional. Start with one tap. Watch the tide go out.
