About
Quietus is an app for people who want to quit smoking without white-knuckling their way through it. The app is built around a simple idea: you don't beat the addiction by fighting cravings — you beat it by understanding what's actually happening inside them.
Smoking is two addictions, not one. There's a small physical dependency that fades within three weeks, and a much bigger mental conditioning that took years to build and weakens over three months. Once you can tell the two apart, every craving becomes proof you're winning.
Features
Quit Timer
A live counter showing how long you've been smoke-free, down to the second. Front and center every time you open the app.
Money Saved
Calculated from your real cigarette price and consumption habits. Watch your savings grow in real time.
13 Health Milestones
Evidence-based health benefits from "20 minutes: heart rate normalizes" to "15 years: heart disease risk = non-smoker." Each milestone explains what's happening in your body.
Monster Arena
Visualize the Little Monster (physical withdrawal) and the Big Monster (mental conditioning), and watch them weaken in real time as you progress.
5-Step Craving Flow
When an urge hits, walk through a guided sequence: recognize the craving, accept it, feel grateful for your freedom, log the trigger, and celebrate beating one more.
10 Coping Tools
Science-backed micro-activities for rough moments — 4-7-8 breathing, 5-minute walks, cold water resets, the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique, and a "smash the monster" tap game when you just need to vent.
Craving Journal
Every craving you log becomes data. See your most common triggers, track moods and intensity over time, and watch your "days since last craving" climb.
Smart Notifications
Phase-aware affirmations at times you choose. Health milestone celebrations. And critical checkpoints at day 3, day 21, and day 90 — when most quitters slip.

Privacy Policy
Quietus is built with privacy as a foundational principle. This page explains what data the app handles and how.
What we collect
We collect nothing. The app does not have user accounts, does not transmit any data to any server, and does not include analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs of any kind.
What is stored on your device
The following data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework:
- Your quit date and time
- Your smoking habits (cigarettes per day, pack size, price per pack)
- Your craving log entries (trigger, mood, intensity, optional notes)
- Your notification preferences
This data never leaves your device. It is not synced to iCloud, not backed up to any external server, and is not accessible to us, Apple, or any third party.
Notifications
The app schedules local notifications (affirmations, milestone celebrations, checkpoint reminders) using Apple's UNUserNotificationCenter API. These are delivered entirely on-device. The app does not use push notifications, and no notification data passes through any server.
Permissions
The app requests notification permission to deliver the local reminders described above. This is the only permission the app requests.
Children
Quietus is intended for adult smokers seeking to quit. It is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.
Purchases
Quietus offers an optional one-time in-app purchase to unlock the app after the free trial. Payment is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Stonekold OÜ does not receive, store, or have access to any payment or billing information. Purchase status is verified on-device using Apple's StoreKit framework — no data is sent to any external server.
Deleting your data
You can delete all stored data at any time from Settings → Reset All Data inside the app. Uninstalling the app also removes all stored data.
Changes to this policy
If we change anything material about how the app handles data, we will update this page and adjust the "Last updated" date in the footer below.
