Quit vaping one puff down at a time. PuffDown is the lowest-friction puff counter there is — log a puff from your Apple Watch or lock screen in under two seconds — paired with a gentle taper plan that walks you down to zero. Counting 50–200 puffs a day shouldn't mean unlocking your phone 50–200 times. Tap +1 from an interactive lock-screen Live Activity, a widget, or your wrist. Then watch a daily limit step gently down to your quit date. WHY YOU'LL LOVE PUFFDOWN • Log a puff without unlocking — lock-screen Live Activity, widgets & Apple Watch • A taper plan that adapts — gentle daily limits down to your quit date, no black box • No shame on a hard day — over your limit is okay; a slip never wipes your streak • Get through the craving — 60-second breathing, a wait timer, your reasons & savings • See what you're getting back — money saved, puffs & nicotine avoided, recovery milestones • Private by design — no account, no tracking, your data stays on your device PUFFDOWN PRO Unlocks the taper plan, the Apple Watch app, lock-screen counting & widgets, craving SOS, and full insights.

QUITTING VAPING IS HARD. YOUR APP SHOULDN'T MAKE IT HARDER. Most quit apps reset your streak to zero the moment you slip — and that big zero is exactly when people give up. Puffly is built around one idea: a slip never erases your progress. TRACK WITHOUT SHAME • Log a puff or a craving in one tap — from the app or the home-screen widget • A craving you beat is logged too — proof of every win, not just every slip STREAKS THAT DON'T PUNISH YOU • Your headline number is total clean days — it only ever goes up • A slip pauses your consecutive streak; it never wipes out weeks of progress • Your longest streak stays on the board as proof of what you can do WATCH THE MONEY COME BACK • Tell Puffly what vaping used to cost you and watch your savings grow in real time • Money saved lives right on your home screen widget TAPER AT YOUR OWN PACE (PRO) • A gradual reduction plan from your current daily baseline down to zero on your quit date • Went over yesterday? The plan re-anchors from what you actually did — a slip bends the curve, it doesn't break the plan • No guilt screens, no lectures, no starting over KNOW YOUR PATTERNS (PRO) • See the hours and weekdays that hit you hardest, built from what you already log • This week against last week: puffs down, cravings beaten up GET THROUGH THE HARD MINUTES (PRO) • Craving hits? Tap SOS: a 3-minute countdown, paced breathing, and your own reasons on screen until it passes • Set a savings goal and watch the days-to-go shrink at your current pace • A weekly recap card you can share: clean days, cravings beaten, money saved FEEL YOUR BODY RECOVER • A health timeline anchored to your last puff, from 20 minutes to 1 year • Your first 3 milestones are free; the full timeline is part of Puffly Pro • Optional notifications celebrate each milestone as you reach it • Recovery facts adapted from CDC and U.S. Surgeon General material — informational only, not medical advice PRIVATE BY DESIGN • 100% of your data stays on your phone — no account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, no tracking, no server • The only network connection Puffly ever makes is to Apple, to handle your purchase FREE VS PRO Free forever: puff and craving logging, cold-turkey streaks, money saved, the home-screen widget, and your first 3 health milestones.
