Quitting smoking can involve many small decisions. ByeSmoke helps you record real moments, understand your patterns and turn those observations into something you can try next. Full Critical Moment Support, tracking, craving patterns and 60-second support are free on iPhone and iPad. Turn your records into timely support Upgraded Critical Moment Support does more than ring at a fixed time. It looks at the last 28 days of records on your device for craving periods that recur across different days. Once there is enough information, you can enable advance reminders and open a specific action directly, without having to think of a plan in that moment. Your feedback shapes future suggestions. Methods you found helpful in similar situations influence recommendations. Try another action when one does not fit, or exclude methods you do not want suggested again. Sparse records are clearly identified, not turned into invented patterns. Fixed-time reminders remain available. Dynamic support is limited to once a day and avoids quiet hours and nearby fixed reminders. Start lightly, understand yourself over time No account or long questionnaire is required. Use preparation to observe and record; there is no need to delay quitting to gather data. When ready, enter the smoke-free phase with a zero-cigarette goal. Record cravings, resisted urges and smoking events as often as needed, with triggers, intensity and responses. Take 60 seconds when you need them Follow a gentle breathing rhythm and make room for a pause. Pause, resume or turn off sounds. Immediate support on your phone remains free whether or not you buy Pro. See the progress you are making A seven-day journey, craving patterns, smoke-free clock, achievements and savings goals help you reflect. Savings are estimates based on the cigarette use and price you enter. Restarting retains past records, savings goal progress and financial achievements while resetting the current smoke-free clock and non-financial achievements. Choose what to share on a progress card; records are not published automatically. Support at a glance Free iPhone and iPad widgets show your phase, shortcuts and guardian summaries. Separate privacy controls let you choose whether to display timing details. Pro: pay once for added convenience The free app includes banner ads. ByeSmoke Pro permanently removes ads and unlocks the full Apple Watch app and complications, plus iCloud Sync. Record moments, use 60-second support and view guardian prompts on your wrist. Existing Pro owners receive these benefits without another purchase. No automatic renewal. iCloud Sync currently provides automatic backup and recovery, not real-time merging across devices. When enabled, core records are backed up to your private iCloud. After reinstalling, resetting or changing devices, backups can restore automatically with the same iCloud account when the local database is empty. Back up manually and check the last successful backup time. Restoring existing cloud backups is free; updating them requires Pro. Local JSON backup and recovery remain free. Private by design Available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Turkish. Core records and analysis stay on your device and work offline. Smoking records are not sent to ad services; cloud backup uploads them only when you enable it. Send ideas or report problems from Settings through system email, with optional basic diagnostics. ByeSmoke is a personal tracking and motivation tool, not medical diagnosis or treatment. It does not guarantee quitting or prevent relapse. Health information is general guidance. Consult a qualified healthcare professional when you need professional help.
