Quit vaping, smoking, or drinking and watch a tree grow with every day you win. Your counter, your money kept, your body's recovery, a mission a day for the first month, and real help the minute a craving hits. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account. No ads. Free to use; Plus is $29.99 a year after a free week, or $79.99 once. Whether you're quitting vaping, nicotine pouches, alcohol, smoking, cannabis, gambling, or anything else, QuitKeep meets you where you are, one day at a time. A MISSION A DAY, FOR THIRTY DAYS One small task each morning under your pledge, in the voice of people who have done this: move the thing you used to reach for, write the sentence you'll say when offered. Done with one tap. The morning note names the day and the mission. WHEN A CRAVING HITS • The bench: an urge-surfing guide, breathing, a short burst of movement, and a letter from someone further along • If you use gum, a lozenge or a patch, the bench reminds you to reach for it first • A 15-minute "ride the wave" timer on your Lock Screen that rates the craving at the start and the end, so the fall is your own data • Your own if-then plans, shown the moment they apply • A one-tap call or text to the person you chose for exactly this moment A SLIP IS A CHAPTER • Your longest streak and total days won are always kept • No reset button. Logging a slip opens the next chapter, and the sky clears at your next pledge • Write a plan for that exact trigger and recommit on the spot THE FIRST 72 HOURS From the quit moment, Today says what usually happens at this hour, four notes land at hours 6, 24, 48 and 72, and the first hours count live on your Lock Screen. THE NIGHTS THAT TEST YOU A party. Drinks with friends. A trip. QuitKeep is there the morning of, thirty minutes before with your plan, and the morning after. LEARN YOUR PATTERNS • See the hours your cravings cluster and your most common trigger • Your hour, forecast by weekday, with a note twenty minutes before • Your cravings this week against last week TRACK WHAT MATTERS • A live counter of your clean time, down to the second • Total days won: your cumulative clean time, which never resets • Money kept, from one honest question about what you spend, climbing toward a goal with a date • Track several quits at once, each with its own progress YOUR TREE, EVERYWHERE • Your tree on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, under a sky that follows the clock • Clean-time widgets, ticking live, with a one-tap SOS beside them • Discreet mode shows just a number and a leaf, never a substance name SEE YOURSELF HEAL • A sourced recovery timeline for smoking, vaping, pouches, and alcohol, with what is changing in your body at every stage • Milestones from day one to five years, with Three Weeks before the hard second month LETTERS FROM FURTHER ALONG One a day on Today, one in the moment on the bench, in the voice of people who have done this. TRULY PRIVATE • 100% on-device. There is no account and no server • No tracking, no ads, no data sharing • Optional Face ID / passcode lock • Free backup and restore, CSV and PDF exports. Your data is always yours Perfect for quitting vaping, zyn or nicotine pouches, smoking, or drinking, for Dry January, or for building a sober life that lasts. QUITKEEP PLUS (optional) Everything you need to quit is free, forever. Plus unlocks a few extras: tree seasons (first light, dusk, winter), long-range insights over 90 days or all time, and more than two quits at once. A year renews until you cancel; for good never renews. QuitKeep is a personal tracker. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you drink heavily or daily, talk to a doctor before stopping, as alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. If you're in crisis, the in-app Get Help screen lists free, confidential support lines.

Puffree helps you quit vaping or smoking. Completely free, no ads, no account. Vape, e-cigarette or cigarettes: Puffree counts your puffs, gets you through every craving and shows you what your body has already achieved. Most apps in this category cost money. Puffree doesn't, and that won't change. Fighting an addiction shouldn't cost you anything. If the app helps you, you can chip in. But you never have to. WHAT PUFFREE DOES - A living timeline: watch in real time what your body is pulling off. 22 stages from the first 20 minutes to the one-year mark, carefully researched.

Say it or tap it, done. - Reduce first, then quit: if cold turkey isn't for you, count your puffs and the app lowers your daily limit in steps until your quit day. - Plan your quit day: pick a date and get ready for it. - Craving SOS: a craving only lasts a few minutes. A guided breathing exercise with strong haptics or two minutes of movement get you through it, with your personal reason to quit right there when you need it. - Craving journal and peak hours: one tap after each craving. The app shows you when and why it gets hard. - Relapse without shame: most people need several attempts. You never lose your overall progress, and the app helps you spot your triggers. - Your plant grows: from seed to full bloom after one year. - Knowledge: eight short articles on withdrawal, sleep, exercise, weight and relapse. Honest, no fluff. - Money saved, savings goal, cravings beaten, longest streak: your numbers, always visible. - Backup: export your data and restore it on a new iPhone. - Milestone notifications during the critical first days. - Dark mode for the night, because cravings don't keep office hours.

Content is based on widely accepted knowledge about nicotine withdrawal and is not medical advice.
