Quit smoking, vaping or nicotine pouches one craving at a time. When an urge hits, a guided three-minute breathing rescue on your iPhone or Apple Watch gets you through it, free and unlimited. Quitwave counts your nicotine-free days, the money you have saved and every craving you beat. THE RESCUE IS ON YOUR WRIST The craving rescue runs on the Watch: raise your wrist, tap once, and a three-minute breathing session begins, paced by haptics you can feel through a sleeve. The phone can stay in your pocket. It works with no signal and no phone nearby. Rescues are unlimited and free, and they always will be. WHAT YOU SEE • One ring: days nicotine-free, money saved, units not taken, and every craving you rode out • Today's craving weather — how many urges, how long, and how that compares with last week • A milestone ladder from twenty minutes to a year, with a plain, neutral note at each step • "I slipped" is one honest tap. It restarts the day count and changes nothing else: your money saved and your cravings beaten stay exactly as they are PATTERNS • An hour-of-day heatmap of every urge you have logged • Your triggers, ranked — stress, after food, drinks, boredom, being around people, plain habit • Average intensity before and after a rescue, and this week against last • A short weekly read in plain language, written on your device from your own log ON EVERY SURFACE Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, StandBy, a Control Centre button that starts a rescue in one press, a Live Activity that shows the breathing phase while a session runs, and a watch face complication that is one tap from the thing it exists for. TWELVE LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Arabic and Hindi. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT There is no account and no sign-in. Your craving log, your quit details and your settings stay in the app's own storage on your devices. No ads. No cross-app tracking. "Delete all my data" in Settings removes everything, because there is nowhere else for it to be. Quitwave is not a medical app. It offers general information and a breathing exercise, not treatment, diagnosis or medical advice. FREE FOREVER The day counter, money saved, units not taken, the Lock Screen widget, the Watch app with unlimited rescues, seven days of history and the milestone ladder. QUITWAVE PRO The Patterns tab (hour-of-day heatmap, triggers, weekly read), your full history rather than seven days, every widget style plus StandBy and the Live Activity, custom breathing patterns, and CSV export. — Quitwave Pro Monthly: $7.99 per month — Quitwave Pro Annual: $39.99 per year, with a 14-day free trial — Quitwave Pro Lifetime: $79.99, one time Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
