Want to quit smoking? Start by understanding when you want a cigarette. After a meal, on a stressful day, or when someone offers you a cigarette: ByeSmoke helps you notice these moments, learn your patterns, and prepare for smoke-free life. All core quitting features in the iPhone and iPad apps are free, with no subscription. START WITH LESS SETUP No account or long questionnaire. A few simple steps get you started; your reason for quitting and nickname are optional. Add smoking amounts, pack price, and a savings goal when you enter the smoke-free phase. Keep your reason visible on Today and tap to edit it. OBSERVE FIRST, THEN GO SMOKE-FREE During preparation, try resisting the automatic reach for a cigarette and record the urges you notice. The aim is to understand difficult times and situations, not to treat cutting down as the final goal. You do not need to delay quitting to collect more data. When ready, enter the smoke-free phase with the goal of not smoking at all, and keep recording and reflecting. LOG THE MOMENT IN A FEW TAPS Record no craving, a craving you resisted, or a cigarette smoked during preparation. Add a trigger, intensity, and what you tried. Log as often as it happens, not just once a day. A seven-day calendar and event history help you see what happened and when. GET TO KNOW YOUR CRAVING PATTERNS Your personal craving profile brings together common triggers, frequent craving times, and coping actions from your own records. Explore recent, lifetime, or current-attempt patterns, with plain-language explanations for each measure. Use what you learn to prepare for similar situations. TAKE 60 SECONDS FOR YOURSELF Follow a gentle breathing rhythm, drink some water, step away, or find something to do. Start when ready, pause anytime, and turn sound off if you prefer. Give yourself a little space before your next choice. TURN CIGARETTE SAVINGS INTO SOMETHING YOU WANT Watch smoke-free time build second by second, alongside estimated cigarettes avoided and money saved. Set a goal for something you want, follow your progress, and celebrate reaching it. Estimates use the smoking amounts and prices you enter. KEEP YOUR HISTORY, SHARE YOUR PROGRESS Create a smoke-free progress card in Achievements and choose what to show before sharing it as an image. If you smoke again, record the reason, reflect, and begin a new attempt. Smoke-free time plus time, cigarette and health achievements restart; past events, savings-goal progress, financial achievements and completed goals remain. SUPPORT ON YOUR PHONE, HOME SCREEN, AND WRIST See your full history on iPhone and iPad. Use free Home Screen widgets to log a moment or open 60-second support. With ByeSmoke Pro, record events and use breathing support on Apple Watch, then sync results to your paired iPhone. You control whether amounts appear on widgets and your watch. YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR RECORDS Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Turkish. Follow your system language or choose your own. Quit-smoking records stay on your device. Core features work offline, with local backup and restore, no account, and no automatic cloud sync. All core quit-smoking features in the iPhone and iPad apps are free, without a subscription. The free app includes banner ads. An optional one-time ByeSmoke Pro purchase permanently removes ads and unlocks the full Apple Watch companion app. Ads and store purchases require internet access; your quit-smoking records are not sent to the ad service. Start with one honest record today. Make your next choice with a little more understanding. ByeSmoke is a personal tracking and encouragement tool, not medical diagnosis or treatment, and does not guarantee that you will quit. Health milestones are general information, not an assessment of your health. Consult a qualified healthcare professional when you need support.
