distraction
A cloud can weigh more than a million pounds. The tiny droplets are just spread thin enough that updrafts keep it floating, like flour in a sunbeam.
A small app for a hard habit
The hardest part
of quitting is
the next 30 seconds.
SmokeFree turns every craving into a moment of curiosity. Track your streak, watch what you've saved, and distract your way past the wave.

Distract yourself. It works.
A craving rarely lasts longer than three minutes. The trick is finding three minutes of genuine curiosity instead of three minutes of willpower. SmokeFree pulls a random fact from across the internet — weird, useless, occasionally beautiful — and asks you to read it before you do anything else.
We call them Fun Fact Craving Distractions™. Tap to open the source. Swipe for another. By the time you've read three, the urge has usually moved on.
