QuitClock helps you quit smoking gradually — the way most people actually quit. You tell QuitClock how many cigarettes you smoke a day, when you wake, when you sleep, and when you want to be done. It builds you a personal smoking schedule, runs a countdown to your next allowed cigarette, and slowly stretches the gap between them until you reach zero on your quit date. That's it. No quizzes. No 12-week programs. No lectures. WHY GRADUAL? Cold turkey works for some people. For most, it doesn't. QuitClock is built for the rest of us — the people who've tried to quit before, who know that white-knuckling it through withdrawal isn't the win it sounds like. Gradual reduction lowers the cliff. It's still hard. It's just survivable. HOW IT WORKS — Personal schedule built from your real habits — Big countdown to your next allowed cigarette — "Smoke Now" only enabled when the time is up — Emergency cigarettes for the rough moments — counted from your daily budget, not extra — Tap "Delay 5 min" when you want to push through a craving — A weekly check-in lets you slow down or speed up the pace — Different schedule for weekends — because your weekends are different WHAT YOU SEE — A friendly mascot called Sprig, who cheers when you make it, hops when a cigarette unlocks, and quietly stays with you when the day is rough — Milestones for every win: 10 cigarettes avoided, 7 days on plan, your first smoke-free day, all the way to 30 days smoke-free — Money saved, in your currency (defaults to SAR) — A calm home-screen widget showing your countdown, ready to tap when it's time PRIVACY QuitClock has no servers. No account. No analytics. No ads. Everything you enter stays on your phone. We don't see your name, your schedule, your cigarettes, your money, your milestones. None of it. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE QuitClock is a behavioural coaching app, not a medical app. It does not provide medical advice. If you have a medical condition, please consult a qualified healthcare professional before changing your smoking habits. MADE IN SAUDI ARABIA Built in Riyadh with care, for everyone who's tried to quit before. Whatever your number, wherever you live, however many times you've tried — you can quit at your pace.

Smoking is hard to stop and easy to explain away. Cigless keeps the two things that actually help in front of you: an honest count of where you are, and something to do about the next ten minutes. CIGARETTES, AND NOTHING ELSE Cigless never asks what you smoke, because it is built for cigarettes alone. Your pack price and pack size are what the savings are worked out from, so the money is the money you would have handed over rather than a national average. There is no unit you have to translate your habit into. BUILT ON WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS WORKS - Setup scores the Heaviness of Smoking Index, two questions used in the literature for decades: how many you smoke and how soon after waking the first one happens. It is named on screen, and it is presented as screening rather than a verdict. - Stop on a date, or step down to one. A Cochrane review finds the two equally effective, so the app recommends one, supports both, and makes a taper end on a real day rather than trailing off. - A slip is a day you logged, not a failure. Research on lapses is consistent that the shame after one is what turns it into a return to smoking, so your total smoke-free days and your best streak are never taken away from you. - Craving SOS sits one tap from the main screen and is never behind a paywall: a delay timer, paced breathing, and the reasons you wrote down read back to you. Delay is first because a craving peaks and then goes. - Reminders follow the shape of withdrawal, with support concentrated in the first three days when it is worst and easing off as you do. - Every milestone on the recovery timeline links to the institution it came from, including the NHS, the World Health Organization and the National Cancer Institute. No source, no claim. - Quitting aids work better alongside an app than either does alone, so the guide to nicotine replacement is free, explains what the options are for, and sends the choice to your pharmacist. FREE, FOREVER One-tap logging. A smoke-free day counter, the money kept and the cigarettes not smoked. A calendar you can correct for any day, today included. Craving SOS. A morning pledge and an evening check-in. The nicotine replacement guide. Destroy the lot whenever you decide. CIGLESS PRO Reminders shaped around your quit date and your score. The sourced recovery timeline. More craving tools, including urge surfing and further breathing patterns. A taper whose daily limit walks down to the day you picked. Your check-ins, read back in context. NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-UP No email address, no password, no name. Your history is filed under an anonymous ID, so nobody has to be trusted with who you are. SUBSCRIPTION Cigless Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Annual is billed once a year and opens with a 7-day free trial. Monthly is billed once a month. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and never renews. Prices are shown in the App Store for your region. Unless you cancel it more than 24 hours before the period is up, an auto-renewing plan renews and your Apple Account is charged. Cancelling is done from your App Store account settings, and removing the app from your phone does not do it for you. Privacy Policy: https://cigless.mriy.io/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use: https://cigless.mriy.io/terms-of-use.html Cigless gives general information and habit support. It is not medical advice and it does not replace a doctor. Whether nicotine replacement therapy suits you, and which kind, is a question for a pharmacist or a doctor who knows the rest of your health.
