This app won't quit for you. It gets you through the 30 seconds when you want a cigarette. The urge shows up without warning. A meeting that runs long, right after lunch, a drink with friends. Open the app and press and hold the cigarette on screen. It burns down with a low crackle and a bit of haptic feedback, and after about 30 seconds it counts as one skipped. The count adds up, and so does the money and the time. A pack costs what you say it costs. The default is $9, and you can change it in settings. Switch to vape mode if that's what you actually use. You don't have to burn a cigarette. Skip three and incense opens up, then a match, a candle, a campfire. Whatever you burn, it counts as one cigarette skipped. You'll see how many days you've kept it going and which level you're on. Put the widget on your home or lock screen and today's count is right there. At night there's one line telling you how many times you held out. Turn it off if you'd rather not hear it. Your records stay on this device. No account, no login screen. The app is free and runs on ads. None of them interrupt you while something is burning. Holding out doesn't mean you've quit. It means one less cigarette today. * Not a medical device. Not a replacement for professional smoking-cessation treatment.

No check-ins. No reports. No lectures. As long as you don't smoke, your character keeps climbing. Quitmon is a quit-smoking RPG that plays itself. The second you tap start, a little hiker with a red backpack sets off up the mountain — every hour you hold out, he walks a little farther, and every dollar you don't spend on cigarettes becomes travel money he finds along the trail. Your cravings take the shape of monsters that block the path: the Jitter Imp on day one, the Nicotine Fiend on day three, the After-Meal Devil, the Stress Beast... You don't have to destroy them. Outlast them, and they'll join your party — walking behind you the rest of the way up. WHEN THE CRAVING HITS Tap SOS. First, a slap to snap you out of it (really). Then the reason you wrote down on day one, and a breathing circle to carry you through the hardest three minutes. A craving is a wave — it passes every single time. IF YOU SLIP Tap "...I just smoked" and be honest about it. Your journey doesn't reset; your streak just steps back a day. Don't let one cigarette become a pack. Patch up, keep walking. EVERYTHING INSIDE • Live tracking: smoke-free days, money saved, cigarettes avoided • Ten craving monsters to battle, capture, and collect — with journals of every victory • Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets, plus an SOS Live Activity countdown • Customize your character's colors — beat bosses to unlock more • Six languages, no ads, no account. Your data never leaves your phone. SOS, the timer, and every buddy you've captured are free forever. The full mountain (eight more monsters from Day 7 onward) unlocks with a subscription or a one-time purchase — and even if your subscription ends, everything you've earned stays yours. The mountain won't rush you. He's just up there, walking, waiting for you to check in. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Subscriptions renew automatically for the chosen period and can be cancelled anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
