Quit smoking by taking the long view.
Map your brain's recovery. Time every craving. Treat every attempt as data — not failure.
iPhone · iOS 17+ · Hard paywall, no free tier
Most people quit smoking on their sixth try, on average. That isn't failure — that's how the brain learns.
Stubbd is the only quit-smoking app that shows you exactly where you are in your brain's dopamine-receptor recovery, times every craving against the 3–5-minute half-life that's already in your biology, and treats every attempt as learning toward your last one. No streaks to shame. No willpower theater.
You are here.
From Day 0 to Year 5. Dopamine-receptor density rebounds along a known path — withdrawal peak at Day 3, chemistry reset at Day 90, heart-attack risk halved by Year 1. The warm dot is you. Right now.
Three tools, used in the moment that matters.
A 5-minute circle.
The research half-life of a craving is 3–5 minutes. The timer holds you through it. Breathe in. Breathe out. Tap on the way in, rate on the way out — so the next one isn't a surprise.
Dark-mode by design. The one place in Stubbd where the lights go down.
A friend who's done this before.
Trained on your profile and your recent cravings. Warm. Direct. Never uses the words fail or willpower. Tells you to call a clinician when that's the right answer.
Every conversation is yours. Yours to keep, yours to delete.
The morning you wake up to.
Money saved. Cigarettes not smoked. Minutes of life regained — eleven per cigarette, the CDC number. Plus today's reading on what your brain is doing right now. Honest numbers, no streak shame.
At 90 days, your reward system is no longer borrowing against the next cigarette.
We don't think of quitting as a contest you win. We think of it as a thing you finally let yourself finish. Stubbd is the quiet record of every minute you chose differently — and the patient map of where that's taking you.
One choice, four shapes.
Hard paywall, no free tier. Stubbd is for people ready to commit to the attempt. The annual is the default — most people quit on try six; we'd rather price for the long road.
