The cost of a free quit-counter.
Quitting is hard enough. The tool you use to do it shouldn't be the second problem.
What people are actually using to quit
Pick a quit-smoking app off the store. Most of them want a signup before you've even logged your first day. After that comes the paywall — the real progress chart is premium, the streak history is premium, the achievement that says "one week clean" is premium. The free tier shows you a number and asks for $4.99 a month to see anything else.
Some of them carry ads. Some of those ads may be for nicotine products. A person on day three of quitting, white-knuckling through cravings, gets shown an ad for a new pouch.
The audience for a quit app is at their lowest moment of self-control by design. Treating that as a sales funnel isn't a glitch — it's the business model.
What Quit Tracker does
You pick smoking or vaping. You set your quit day. From that moment the app counts what you've been through and what your body's been doing about it.
A real health timeline — not the same fake one every app copies. Smoking and vaping recover differently, so they get separate tracks. The vaping timeline doesn't make up combustion claims it can't honestly make; it speaks plainly about nicotine clearance and aerosol-irritation recovery, and where the science is still open it says so.
Achievements that mark the milestones that matter. Distraction techniques when a craving hits. Motivation content to pull from when willpower runs thin. Links out to free public-health resources — smokefree.gov, NHS, CDC, Truth Initiative — for people who want to read more.
No signup. No premium tier. No ad slots. Nothing on your phone is sent to a server.
The receipt
Your quit day, your streak, your milestones, your notes — all on your phone. None of it leaves. There is no account because there is no server. Your hardest year doesn't become a data set someone else owns.
If we vanish tomorrow, your tracker still works. Your streak still counts. The thing you actually need it to do — keep counting — keeps happening as long as the phone in your pocket runs.
Why this one matters
Charging someone to see their own quit streak is dignity theft. Showing them nicotine ads while they fight a nicotine addiction is worse. None of it is required to ship a quit-tracker. The work was already done — we just decided to give it away clean.
If you're trying to quit, or someone you love is, this is on the directory. Free. Working. No catch.
