Breath Garden: Quit Smoking

See how long you have been smoke-free, what you have saved and how your body is recovering. When a craving hits, a timer and a breathing guide help you ride it out.

Breath Garden is a diary that stays with you from the moment you decide to quit. It counts the time since your quit moment down to the second, calculates how many cigarettes you have not smoked in that time, and how much money you have kept. Tell it how long one cigarette used to take and it counts the hours you got back too. Your savings are shown as things you can picture, from a cup of coffee to a trip away.

■ A garden that grows The longer you keep going, the further your garden grows: through twelve stages from a seed to a sprout, a young tree, a thick grove and a garden of all four seasons. On the harder days clouds, storms and even a blizzard pass over it, but the stage you have reached never goes backwards. Eighteen achievements unlock as your days, savings, recovered time and cravings overcome add up.

■ When a craving hits A sudden urge gets a three, five or ten minute timer and a breathing guide that paces you through inhale, hold, exhale, hold. Simple things to do right now — drink a glass of water, step away from where you smoke — are there too.

■ A health timeline Twenty minutes, twelve hours, two days, two weeks, one month, three months, six months, one year, two years, five years, ten years, fifteen years. Each point describes changes that may appear after quitting, cited to the CDC, the NHS and the American Cancer Society. All of it is general reference material and does not replace diagnosis or treatment.

■ Room for the slips If you smoke again, record it honestly and choose whether to continue your current attempt or start a new one. Every past attempt is kept, so you can look back over the whole journey.

■ Your own patterns Over seven days, thirty days or all time, see how many cravings you logged, how often you rode them out, their average intensity, and which situations and times of day come up most. Patterns you can see are patterns you can plan around.

■ Korean, English and Japanese The whole app is available in all three. It follows your iPhone's language setting automatically, and you can pick a language directly in Settings. Amounts appear in your region's currency.

■ Your data stays on your iPhone Everything you enter is stored on the device and never sent to a server. You can erase all of it from Settings at any time.
