Your body starts healing 20 minutes after you quit. Watch it happen — 677 science-backed milestones across 11 addictions, with a panic button for the hardest minutes.
Your body starts healing 20 minutes after your last cigarette. Your sleep starts rebuilding the first night without alcohol. Stop & Heal makes that invisible progress visible — hour by hour, organ by organ.
ELEVEN JOURNEYS, ONE COMPANION
Nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, sugar & fast food, cannabis, gambling, gaming, porn, phone, shopping, and love/relationship fixation. Track one or several — each with its own science-based recovery timeline.
WATCH YOUR BODY REPAIR ITSELF
677 milestones compiled from public health literature (WHO, CDC, US Surgeon General, NHS and peer-reviewed research). Every claim carries an evidence tag — solid, reasonable, or indicative — so you always know how firm the ground is. Heart rate, lung function, dopamine rebalance, sleep architecture: arriving as notifications as they happen inside you.
HELP FOR THE HARDEST 3 MINUTES
A craving peaks and passes in about three minutes. The panic button walks you through it: breathing, grounding, urge surfing, and the reason you started. Start it from the Action Button or Siri without opening the app, and a calm countdown rides the Dynamic Island until the wave passes. Free forever — no paywall will ever stand between you and help.
LANTERN, KEEPER OF THE LIGHT
When you need words, not timers: Lantern is a gentle companion who knows your journey, your vow and your day count — and talks you through the wave, then hands you back to your breath.
BUILT FOR RELAPSE REALITY
A slip doesn't erase your healing. Your longest streak stays on record, your body keeps its repairs, and the Compassion Shield can protect a streak once. Recovery is not linear — your app should know that.
A JOURNEY, NOT JUST A COUNTER
Grow a sapling with daily check-ins. Walk the Path of Light through four chapters — from Gloom to Blooming. Earn Light, unlock cosmetics, keep your lantern lit.
A REAL PAPER JOURNAL
Cream pages, ruled lines, ink. Mark the day's mood with an ink blot — it can flow into Apple Health as State of Mind — and shape your words with Apple Intelligence Writing Tools. Your pages never leave your device.
DESIGNED FOR iPHONE
Dynamic Island crisis timer · Action Button and Siri shortcuts · Apple Watch app with complications · Home and Lock Screen widgets · Apple Health (State of Mind and Mindful Minutes) · full iPad support.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account is required and there are no analytics. What you write stays on your device unless you turn on backup — then your progress goes to your own private account, so a new phone never costs you your streak. The optional Lantern chat sends your messages plus your day count, your path and your vow so it can answer you properly; it never sees your journal or your relapse log.
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Fully localized in 42 languages, including all medical content — and Siri understands 20 of them.
Lantern (optional subscription) adds unlimited simultaneous journeys, unlimited Lantern conversations and exclusive cosmetics — and on yearly and lifetime plans, completing the Path of Light plants a REAL tree in your name.
Stop & Heal is educational; it is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Withdrawal from alcohol or sedatives can be dangerous — talk to a professional before quitting. Support: help@stopandheal.com
