Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create an account?
No. QuitKit has no account system. The app starts working the moment you open it. There is no email, no password, no sign-in. Optional iCloud sync is available in Settings, but it uses your existing iCloud account, not a QuitKit account.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone, in a local SwiftData store inside the app's sandbox. It does not leave your device, except in your iCloud Backup if you have that turned on, or in optional iCloud sync if you enable it. See the Privacy Policy, §4 for full details. To turn off iCloud Backup for QuitKit specifically: iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Backups → [your device] → Show All Apps → QuitKit → toggle off.
How is QuitKit different from a basic "day counter" app?
QuitKit is built around a closed feedback loop: urge → response → outcome → pattern → next experiment. Cigarettes and cravings are both first-class data, not afterthoughts. The insights engine shows you when, where, and why you smoke or want to smoke — and the plan mode (observing, gradual reduction, or quit-date) uses those patterns to suggest next steps. The aim is a plan that adapts to your life, not a streak that punishes a slip.
What is "plan mode"?
Three modes. Observing logs only — no target, just data. Gradual reduction sets a weekly target (e.g. -10% per week) and tracks progress. Quit date sets a target date and counts toward it. You can switch modes at any time. Slips reset the streak counter but never delete your data — honesty over punishment.
How do I log a cigarette?
Open QuitKit. On the Today tab, tap the red Log cigarette button. Add time, situation, or feeling only if you want — a single tap is a complete log. Each cigarette takes less than three seconds to record.
How do I log a craving?
On the Today tab, tap Craving help. Pick a quick intervention (drink water, step outside, four-count breath, text someone, wait 10 minutes), then later mark whether the craving passed or whether you smoked. The pattern engine uses these outcomes to surface the strategies that actually work for you.
How do I see patterns?
The Insights tab shows seven-day trends, hour-of-day breakdowns, top situations, and gap analysis (time between cigarettes). Every chart shows the date range and sample size — QuitKit never claims causation without evidence.
How do I back up my data?
Two ways: (1) Use the in-app export to save a JSON file to a location you choose — Files, AirDrop, iCloud Drive, etc. (2) Leave iCloud Backup on and your iPhone will back up the app's data automatically. Both are your data, controlled by you.
How do I delete my data?
Open the app and go to Settings → Clear All Data. This wipes the local SwiftData store. If you have iCloud Backup on, you can also exclude the app from future backups (see above) and then delete the existing backup to remove historical copies.
Will the app ever ask me to subscribe or pay?
QuitKit v1.0 is fully free, with no in-app purchases and no premium tier. The full app is on the screen you see when you open it.
How does the "money saved" calculation work?
You enter your pack price and cigarettes per pack in Settings → Pack Data. QuitKit computes the per-cigarette cost and shows: (a) what you've spent since the first cigarette you logged, (b) what you've avoided since your reduction target started, and (c) a running saved counter. Numbers are exact, not estimated.
Does it work offline?
Yes — fully. QuitKit never requires an internet connection for the core experience. The only features that need the network are optional iCloud sync and Apple App Store updates.
Does it work on iPad?
Not yet. QuitKit is iPhone-only at launch. A universal build is on the roadmap.
Does it work on Mac (Apple Silicon)?
Not directly, but you can run the iPhone app on a Mac with Apple Silicon through "iPhone apps on Mac" if your Mac runs macOS Sonoma or later. Full native Mac support is on the roadmap.
Does it read Apple HealthKit data?
No. QuitKit does not connect to Apple Health. The lung-health illustration in the app is a motivational visualization based on the cigarettes you log — it is not a real medical scan and does not read any biometric data.
Is QuitKit a medical device?
No. QuitKit is a logging and reflection tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure nicotine dependence, and does not make any medical claims. The lung illustration is motivational only. If you need medical help quitting smoking, contact a clinician or a quitline (for example, the US 1-800-QUIT-NOW).
How do I report a bug?
Email >oveshdev@gmail.com with the subject "QuitKit bug report". Include your iOS version, iPhone model, app version (Settings → About), and a screenshot if possible. The developer replies to every bug report personally.
How do I request a feature?
Email >oveshdev@gmail.com with the subject "QuitKit feature request". Short, concrete requests get the best response. "Add a CSV export" is more useful than "make it better".
Can I see what's coming next?
The roadmap is informal and lives in the developer's head. Major themes for the next 90 days: iPad support, watchOS complications, CSV import, and a custom home-screen widget. No public roadmap board at the moment.
System status
QuitKit is a local-only app with no backend, so there is no service status to report. If you can open the app and your data is there, the app is working. If something is broken on your device specifically, the bug report above is the fastest path to a fix.
Response time
Support is one person reading email. Typical response time is 24–72 hours, faster on weekdays. If your issue is preventing you from using the app, mark the subject URGENT.
Press & partnerships
For review codes, interviews, or partnership inquiries, email >oveshdev@gmail.com with the subject "QuitKit press".
