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.

The puff counter you never have to unlock your phone for. Whether you vape or smoke, cutting down on nicotine starts with counting. But when a craving hits, you unlock, hunt for the app, wait, tap — and most days, the log just never happens. Every other puff counter loses the battle right there. PuffTap deletes every step between the craving and the count: one tap, logged, phone back in your pocket. Smoke cigarettes instead? Tap once for each one, and PuffTap keeps your cigarette count, daily limit and streak the same way. LOG FROM ANYWHERE — WITHOUT OPENING THE APP • Control Center — tap the PuffTap control, even from the Lock Screen • Lock Screen widget — glance, tap, done • Action Button — press to log (iPhone 15 Pro and later) • Siri — say "Log a puff in PuffTap" • Home Screen widgets — count, goal, and streak at a glance, with one-tap logging SEE YOURSELF CUT DOWN • Today's count against your daily goal, on a ring that fills as you go • Time since your last puff — a live timer that grows every minute you hold out • Today, hour by hour — see exactly when the cravings hit • 7-day trend — watch the line fall • Streaks for every day you stay under goal • Lower your goal as you taper off, and quit vaping gradually at your own pace • Log resisted cravings too — the taps you don't take count KNOW YOUR PATTERNS • Your heaviest hours of the day and days of the week • A 4-week trend and your longest streak • Money saved versus your starting habit PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. Your puff data never leaves your phone — there is nothing to leak and nothing to sell. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. PuffTap is free. Not free-for-seven-days. Not free-until-the-paywall. Free. Quitting is hard enough. Counting shouldn't be. Get PuffTap, add the Control Center control, and log your next puff before your phone is even awake.
