Halt: Quit Vaping & Nicotine

Every other quit app resets your counter to zero when you slip. Halt doesn't. One bad day stays one bad day, and the record stands.

Quitting nicotine is mostly a series of very bad three-minute stretches. Halt is built for those three minutes, and for the sixty days after them.

THE BUTTON When it hits, press HALT. It asks what's actually going on — hungry, angry, lonely, tired, or just the habit — then gives you the thing most likely to work on that: a breathing pacer, an urge-surf timer, a two-minute physical task, or your own reasons in your own words.

A SLIP DOESN'T ERASE ANYTHING Every other quit app resets your counter to zero. Halt doesn't. A slip is one marked day on the calendar. Your total nicotine-free days, your best streak, your money saved, your urges beaten — all of it stands. Most people who quit for good slipped a few times first.

IT SEES IT COMING The Ambush Map builds a picture of when you've logged cravings before and tells you before that window opens again. "Likely hard stretch today, 5:00pm–7:00pm." You get to decide what you're doing at 4:55 instead of at 5:20.

"IS THIS NORMAL?" A searchable library of what happens when you stop — the hunger, the flatness, the fog, the sleep, the short fuse — with when it typically starts and how long it typically lasts. Every entry shows its source.

THE NUMBERS, AND HOW THEY'RE WORKED OUT Time. Money. Units avoided. Urges beaten. Nicotine clearing. Every derived figure has a "How this is calculated" screen showing the actual formula in plain language. No black boxes.

A HEALTH TIMELINE THAT DOESN'T OVERSELL Milestones sourced to CDC and NHS guidance. If you're quitting vapes or pouches, Halt says plainly which findings come from cigarette research and don't transfer — because the long-term studies don't exist yet, and pretending otherwise isn't help.

WITNESS Pick one person. Send them a card each day with your number on it. No account for them, no app to install, nothing to reply to. The point isn't the card. The point is that someone would notice if it stopped arriving.

COLD TURKEY OR STEP DOWN Both, stated straight: in a 2016 Annals of Internal Medicine trial, 22% of abrupt quitters were abstinent at six months against 15.5% of gradual reducers. Published research on methods, not a claim about this app.

YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No email address. No server. Everything lives on your device, and you can export it or erase all of it permanently from Settings at any time.

Halt is a tracking and habit app. It is not medical care and not a substitute for advice from a doctor, pharmacist or a stop-smoking service. Talk to a healthcare professional before you quit, particularly if you take prescription medication or have a heart, lung or mental health condition — quitting nicotine can change how some medicines work. The health information in Halt is general information from public health sources describing what typically happens for many people. It is not a prediction about you. 18+.

If you need real support, free help is available. Call or text 988 in the US, or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to reach your state quitline.
