Gradual Smoking Cessation

Quit smoking gradually.
The app for people who still smoke.

Most quit smoking apps start counting the day after your last cigarette. If you still smoke, they have nothing for you. SmokeClock works the other way round: you tell it how many cigarettes you smoke today, and it builds a schedule that spaces them out and removes one every few days, until the number reaches zero.

No quit date to survive on day one. No willpower contest. No cold turkey. You log each cigarette in two taps and the plan does the rest.

"It presumes you've quit."

That line comes from a one-star App Store review of one of the most downloaded quit smoking apps. The complaint repeats across Smoke Free, QuitNow! and Kwit reviews: you cannot log the cigarettes you actually smoke, you cannot build a plan to cut down, and if you slip, the counter resets to zero and so does your motivation.

SmokeClock is built for the weeks before your last cigarette, not the days after it.

  • 1You log the cigarettes you smoke, on schedule or off it. The plan adapts instead of scolding you.
  • 2The daily count drops a little at a time, spaced across your waking hours only, from your real bedtime to your real wake-up time.
  • 3A bad day lowers your Recovery Score by a few points. It never resets weeks of progress to zero.
  • 4Your plan and history stay on your iPhone. No account, no email to hand over, and a purchase is restored from your Apple ID.

How SmokeClock helps you quit smoking gradually

Four steps. No willpower required.

  1. 1

    Tell us your habit.

    Enter how many cigarettes you smoke daily, your wake and sleep times, and your target quit date. SmokeClock uses this to build your personalized gradual reduction plan.

  2. 2

    Get your personalized schedule.

    SmokeClock builds a daily schedule that reduces your cigarette count step by step, spacing each one evenly across your waking hours only. No 3am alarms.

  3. 3

    Follow the schedule. Log each cigarette.

    The app tells you when your next cigarette is. Log it in two taps. Every day, the count drops a little. You barely notice, until the day you hit zero.

  4. ✓

    Reach zero. Naturally.

    The reduction plan runs until your daily count hits zero. No shock, no cold turkey. Just a habit that quietly ends at your own pace.

Why quit smoking slowly, not cold turkey?

Cold turkey works for some. But for most people, stopping abruptly is the hardest way. Gradual reduction gives your body and mind time to adjust.
