Craving Timer
Wait out urge. Control habit.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A timer that helps you wait out the urge to smoke. Daily counter, craving reasons, weekly progress. Works with cigarettes, vape, and heated tobacco (sticks).
Pause Timer is a simple "emergency brake" between the urge and the habit. The app helps you not ban everything at once, but buy time: postpone the next stick/cigarette/puff, spot patterns, and gradually increase intervals.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap one big button — the timer starts from your last time.
2. If too soon — the app shows how long to wait (it factors in how many "chances" you have left today).
3. Before logging, pick a reason: habit, stress, boredom, other, or "don't know." Tips help you switch focus and ride out the peak.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Circular timer — shows how much time has passed.
• Recommended interval — gently reminds when to wait a bit longer.
• Daily counter — limit and "how many left" in clear blocks.
• Weekly chart — 7-day progress: where control grows, where it dips.
• Craving reasons — see triggers (stress/boredom/habit) and act on them.
• Tip reminders — short ideas for what to do instead of autopilot.
FOR WHO
— If you want to quit and care about small steps.
— If you use cigarettes, vape, or heated tobacco (sticks) and want to keep the habit under control.
— If you slip on autopilot and want awareness without guilt.
PRINCIPLES
• No guilt or pressure: you decide how to use the app.
• No sign-up: everything works right away.
• Privacy: data stays on your device. No accounts or server uploads.
WHY A TIMER
Cravings come in waves: first "need it now," then it gets easier. The timer shifts focus from "want" to "wait a bit longer." You see numbers, not feelings — that reduces autopilot.
