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. Puffly Pro adds the personalized taper plan, your patterns, the craving SOS, savings goals, the shareable weekly recap, and the full health timeline.

Quitting vaping is hard. Lying to yourself about it is harder. Exhale is the quit-vaping tracker built on one principle: honesty over perfection. Log every craving and every slip — your streak may reset, but your real progress (money saved, health recovered, battles won) never disappears. SEE YOUR BODY HEAL, HOUR BY HOUR • Live recovery timeline based on nicotine-cessation research • Heart rate, oxygen, taste & smell, lung function — watch each one come back • Nicotine countdown: see the last of it leave your body within 72 hours BEAT CRAVINGS IN THE MOMENT • One-tap Craving SOS: a 60-second guided breathing rescue • Your personal reasons to quit, right when you need them • Log triggers (stress, parties, coffee) and learn your patterns WATCH THE MONEY COME BACK • Real-time money-saved counter based on what you actually spent • Puffs avoided, day streaks, and a calendar of your journey THE HONESTY PACT Most trackers punish slips — you break a streak, feel ashamed, delete the app. Exhale is different. A slip you admit is progress; a slip you hide is a relapse. Log it honestly: only the day-streak resets, never your whole journey. EARN IT Awards for every milestone — first 24 hours, nicotine-free, one week, one month — including one most apps would never dare to give: Radically Honest. Your data stays on your phone. No account required. Exhale includes a 3-day free preview. Exhale Pro: $6.99/month or $29.99/year (7-day free trial). Cancel anytime. This is the year you breathe free. Start today.
