Cigarette & Vape Counter, a smoking tracker for iPhone and iPad
Count, spend, time between
Tap +1 every time you light up or take a puff. Cigarette & Vape Counter shows how many you've had today, what they cost and how long it's been since the last one, and if you want to cut down, it will hand you a daily target that drops a little every day.

What can you track with it?
You choose what to count the first time you open it, under What do you want to track?: Cigarettes, Vape or Both. Vape is counted in puffs. In Both mode each type keeps its own count, timer and price, and Home, Stats and History get a switch between them.
- Counting:
+1,+5or Custom (1 to 99) under Quick Add, or Details to add a time, triggers and a note. - Cost: a price per cigarette from Pack Price and Cigarettes Per Pack, a price per puff from E-Liquid Price, Bottle Size and Puffs Per mL, and spent today on the Home screen.
- Time since the last one: a live timer in days, hours, minutes and seconds, plus an optional Spacing goal from 30 to 240 minutes.
- Cutting down: a Reduction Plan of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 weeks whose daily target falls step by step.
- Patterns: History by day with Top Trigger, and Statistics with Daily Avg, Best Day, Worst Day, a trend and a cost projection.
- Cravings: a 3-minute countdown and a paced Breathing Exercise.
- Motivation: streaks, Milestones, Badges, a My Why Photo, and home-screen widgets.

What is free and what does Premium add?
The app is free to download. Logging, prices, the timer, the spacing goal, reduction plans, the craving timer, widgets and CSV export are free for everyone. The free version shows ads, but none in the first 7 days after you install it.
Premium is an optional subscription (weekly, monthly or yearly) or a one-time Lifetime purchase. It removes banner and full-screen ads, opens up history and stats older than 7 days (14 Days, 30 Days, 90 Days), adds Trigger Analysis in Stats and refills one streak shield each month. You can also get into the older ranges for 24 hours by watching a short ad.
Privacy, offline use and permissions
There is no account. Your entries, prices and plans are stored only on your iPhone or iPad and there is no cloud sync. Everything you log and see works offline; only buying or restoring Premium and loading ads need a connection.
Notifications, Apple Health and the photo picker are all optional. Apple Health is used to save finished breathing exercises as Mindful Minutes. In the free version iOS asks for tracking permission for ads; if you decline, ads are non-personalized. Your logs are not used for ads.
What it cannot do
- It does not count automatically. You tap for each cigarette or puff; it does not connect to a vape or read a disposable's puff counter.
- It does not track nicotine strength or millilitres used, only puffs.
- There is no Apple Watch app, no Mac or Android version and no iCloud backup, so deleting the app deletes your data. Use Export as CSV first.
- It is not a treatment. It shows you the numbers; it cannot make you quit.

What's new in 1.5.0
Signing up used to be eight screens and five of them could not be skipped. Now you can get to logging straight away. Also in this update: • Badges, milestones and challenges were in English in all 34 languages. So were "BEST VALUE" and "PAY ONCE" on the purchase screen. • The savings badges said dollars to people who save in euros. • The widget only spoke English. • The ads asked before the app asked you: the tracking and consent prompts now come in the right order. • The purchase screen no longer mentions a free trial where there is not one. • The rating prompt used to wait for two weeks smoke-free and only ever ask once.
