The puff counter you never have to unlock your phone for. Craving hits. You unlock, hunt for the app, wait, tap โ 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. LOG FROM ANYWHERE โ WITHOUT OPENING THE APP โข Control Center โ tap the PuffTap control, even from the Lock Screen โข Lock Screen widget โ glance, tap, done โข Action Button โ press to log (iPhone 15 Pro and later) โข Siri โ say "Log a puff in PuffTap" โข Home Screen widgets โ count, goal, and streak at a glance, with one-tap logging SEE YOURSELF CUT DOWN โข Today's count against your daily goal, on a ring that fills as you go โข NEW: Time since your last puff โ a live clock that grows every minute you hold out โข NEW: Today, hour by hour โ see exactly when the cravings hit โข 7-day trend โ watch the line fall โข Streaks for every day you stay under goal โข Lower your goal as you taper off โข Log resisted cravings too โ the taps you don't take count KNOW YOUR PATTERNS โข Your heaviest hours of the day and days of the week โข A 4-week trend and your longest streak โข 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 โ 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.
