Quit vaping, your way. Vapeless is a streak tracker built for one thing: helping you stay vape-free, one day at a time. No signups. No accounts. No data leaving your phone. BREATHE THROUGH THE CRAVING When the urge hits, one tap opens a 90-second guided 4-7-8 breathing exercise - the same protocol clinicians use as a first-line craving interrupt. Log what triggered it (stress, boredom, after a meal, drinking, social) so your pattern surfaces in Insights over time. SLIP DOES NOT EQUAL RESET Most quit apps wipe your streak on a single bad day. Vapeless logs the slip, helps you understand what happened, and lets you keep going without losing the progress you've earned. LOCK SCREEN + DYNAMIC ISLAND Your streak lives on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity and in a Home Screen widget. Long-press the Dynamic Island for the expanded view. The reminder is always there - without you having to open the app. SIRI "Hey Siri, I'm craving in Vapeless" - opens the breathing exercise straight from your Lock Screen, even when the app is closed. INSIGHTS THAT MATTER - Cravings per day chart - see your pattern emerge - Best and worst time of day - when you are vulnerable, when you are strong - Current streak vs. longest streak ever - Pro: trigger pattern analysis, predictive alerts before your hardest hours, money-saved projections, HealthKit correlations MILESTONES, BACKED BY SCIENCE 20 minutes. 12 hours. 24 hours. 2 weeks. 1 month. 5 years. Each milestone cites public health guidance (CDC, NHS, AHA) - clear copy on what is actually happening in your body. No fluff, no fear-mongering. MONEY YOU WOULD HAVE SPENT Tell Vapeless what you used to vape (disposables, pods, juice - pick yours, real per-week costs). Watch the savings stack up in real time. Pro adds 6-month, 1-year, and 5-year projections. BUILT LOCAL-FIRST Your quit date and craving history live on this device. We don't collect personal data. We don't sell your data. We don't track you across apps. The streak is yours. PRICING — auto-renewable subscriptions Free forever: streak counter, money saved, basic milestones, breathing exercise (one per day), share cards. Vapeless Pro unlocks the full Insights tab, unlimited panic breathing exercises, trigger pattern analysis, predictive alerts before your hardest hours, money-saved projections, and HealthKit correlations. - $39.99 per year, auto-renewable annual subscription (includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers) - $4.99 per week, auto-renewable weekly subscription - $69.99 one-time purchase, lifetime access (not a subscription, no auto-renewal) Auto-renewable subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account on confirmation of purchase. You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in iOS Settings → [your Apple ID] → Subscriptions. Free trials, if available, automatically convert into a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. ABOUT Built in Izmir, Turkey by one person. Not VC-backed. Not built for investors. Built because the existing quit apps were all owned by people who had never tried to quit themselves. If you are struggling with nicotine addiction, talk to your doctor or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (US). Vapeless is a tracking tool, not medical advice.
