100 days free and donated $20 so far

Just wanted to share my progress and give a reminder to anyone starting out on their quit journey that it’s 100% doable!!

When I finally put down the cigarettes, I was so scared that I wouldn’t be able to do this for myself - but I did and I never want to go back. I know it’s hard, I’ve definitely had my moments where I wanted to break, but I knew it wouldn’t be worth it. This app also helped a lot because every smoke-free day = points which then could be exchanged for real donations to cancer research.

Feel free to ask me questions if you’re curious, or just comment if you need some support!! I’m here for you guys!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot about how difficult it is to stay consistent when trying to quit smoking, especially after the first few days or weeks.

So I started working on a small iOS app as a personal project. The idea is pretty simple: instead of just tracking progress, it tries to add a bit more meaning to staying smoke-free.

For every day without smoking, you earn points that can eventually be turned into real donations for cancer research. I thought it might be motivating if the effort not only helps yourself, but also contributes to something bigger.

Right now, the app includes things like:

-tracking smoke-free days
-cigarettes avoided
-money saved
- insights into your health improvements
- stats and progress over time

I’m still very early in development, so I’d really value honest feedback:

-Would something like this motivate you (or not at all)?
-Is there anything you think is missing?
What kind of features actually help people stick with quitting?

Hello,

I built an iOS app because I realized how hard it is to stay motivated when trying to quit smoking — especially long term.

The app works like this:

For every smoke-free day, you earn points that can be converted into real donations to cancer research. So every day you don’t smoke doesn’t just help you — it can help others too.

The app also shows you:

- how many days you’ve been smoke-free

- how many cigarettes you didn’t smoke

- how much money you’ve saved

- insights into your health improvements

- stats and progress over time

I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

- What features would motivate you more?

- Does the UI/logic feel clear and useful?

- Any ideas for improvement?

If this post isn’t appropriate here, feel free to let me know — I’ll delete it. I just think this could be a small but meaningful tool for people trying to quit.
