Preview another date and time using your current weekly routine, note and display settings without changing the live day card. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Settings and tap Rehearse another day. 2. Choose a date and time, or step to the next or previous day. 3. Check the routine, current note behavior and quiet-hours face, then return to Now. The live day card, weekly plan, family photo, quiet hours and caregiver handoff remain available. Snapshot date formatting now follows the same calendar time zone. WHAT TO KNOW Preview does not change the device clock, clear the live note or dim the screen. Timed routine items are plans, not confirmations of completion. A note appears only on its assigned date. This is a display and coordination tool, not a medical monitor. iPhone and iPad.

"I'm never smoking again." I made that decision and threw away the cigarettes I had. But determination alone does not change a person. You decide not to smoke, then smoke again. You decide to change, then return to the same day. What you lose each time is not only your health or your money. The feeling that you cannot even keep a promise you made to yourself begins to remain inside you. If you keep telling yourself that you will change tomorrow, tomorrow will probably be the same. So I stopped trying to solve a lifetime of not smoking. First, move the next cigarette out of reach. Prepare something else to do when the urge comes. Face the life you do not want to return to and what you want to regain. Then get through only the first 72 hours. BreakThree turns what I actually did to get through those first three days into one guided sequence. This app will not turn you into a different person. But it will show you, one step at a time, what you can do right now to avoid the next cigarette. Once you begin, three candles and the remaining time quietly show your progress through the 72 hours. When the urge to smoke appears, open the 30-second breathing screen and pause. Main features • Progress through the first 72 hours after quitting • Preparation to move the next cigarette out of reach • Alternative actions you can prepare in advance • Reminders of the life you do not want to return to • Reminders of what you want to regain • A 30-second support screen for cravings • Small and medium widgets • A three-day record stored on your device Not tomorrow. Start with the next cigarette. Not forever. Start with 72 hours. BreakThree is not a substitute for medical care or treatment. If you experience severe withdrawal symptoms or feel unwell, contact a qualified healthcare professional or smoking-cessation service.
