Track cigarettes, vape puffs, and other nicotine products, understand your habits, and gradually increase the time between uses. Whether you want to cut down, quit now, or continue from an earlier quit date, this smoking tracker helps you follow your progress at your own pace. CHOOSE YOUR GOAL • Track and gradually reduce your nicotine use. • Quit now and start a nicotine-free timer. • Enter a previous quit date and continue tracking your progress. • Change your approach without losing your history. LOG WHAT YOU USE • Record cigarettes and heated tobacco products with one tap. • Count individual vape puffs or log a complete vaping session. • Track nicotine pouches, snus, and nicotine gum. • Add nicotine strength, quantity, and price details. • Edit past entries if you forget to log in the moment. EXTEND THE TIME BETWEEN USES See how long it has been since your last use and compare your current pause with your target. Based on your activity, the app creates a gradual reduction plan focused on longer, repeatable intervals. Follow the plan at your own pace and see how your pauses change over time. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS Review your nicotine use by day or week and explore: • Daily consumption and interval trends. • Estimated nicotine intake and peak times. • Time-of-day patterns. • Vape puffs per session. • Estimated spending and savings. • Estimated tar totals based on logged cigarettes. • Progress across different nicotine products. TRACK NICOTINE-FREE PROGRESS Start a nicotine-free period without losing the progress that came before it. Follow your elapsed time, estimated money saved, estimated uses avoided, and general recovery milestones. If you return to nicotine, the previous attempt remains available in your history. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your nicotine log stays on your device. No account is required to begin tracking.
