Fewer pouches doesn't mean less nicotine. Switch from 3mg to 6mg and you feel like you're quitting — but your real intake went up. PouchDown counts what matters: milligrams. Most quit apps count pouches and celebrate clean days. PouchDown gives you a declining daily nicotine budget, in milligrams, that steps down to zero on a schedule you set. Log each pouch by brand and strength (ZYN, VELO, On!, Rogue, Zone, Lucy) and finally see what no count-based app can show — the hidden creep, and your real progress. CATCH THE HIDDEN CREEP Cut from 12 pouches to 8 but moved from 3mg to 6mg? You're up on nicotine, not down. PouchDown reveals it. - Pouches vs. mg chart — watch your count drop while your nicotine climbs - Average-strength trends — catch your own upgrades over time - Budget performance — days on track and how far ahead or behind your plan - Money saved — estimated spend reduction from your baseline A BUDGET THAT STEPS DOWN TO ZERO Willpower runs out. A declining budget doesn't. - Strength-aware math — 6mg ZYN is not 6mg On!; every pouch becomes real milligrams - Set your pace — gentle, steady, or aggressive curve to a target quit date - Live mg budget — milligrams remaining today, updated with every log - Daily reset — each day starts fresh, so a slip never erases your progress ONE-TAP LOGGING, ANYWHERE - Quick-pick recent and favorite pouches as one-tap buttons - Log from the Lock Screen, a Home Screen widget, or Siri — without opening the app - Smart next-pouch timing paces your intake against today's budget - Optional craving log to spot your triggers, never to judge you 100% ON-DEVICE AND PRIVATE Your pouch log never leaves your iPhone. - No account, no cloud, no tracking — set up in seconds - All data stored and processed locally - Export a PDF or CSV report to share with a clinician or friend, if you choose NO STREAKS, NO SHAME You don't reset your life over a slip — you reset tomorrow's budget and keep going.
