For the moment you want to vape and don't want to.
Open it and there's one thing waiting: a three-minute ritual. A tree grows while you wait. It asks you nothing.
Free. Offline. Nothing to buy.

The ritual
A craving lasts a few minutes. This is something to do with them.
Tap once. A tree grows on its own. There is no input to give, nothing to get right, and no way to do it badly.
Each one grows from its own seed. Leave at twenty seconds and you keep what grew — an unfinished tree is kept exactly like a finished one.
The tree stays. Keep it or don't, share it or don't. Nothing asks you to.
What's in it
What isn't in it
Nothing that turns a bad day into a number you have to look at afterwards. A slip is a day you marked, and that is all it is.
Privacy
No account, no sign-in, no sync, no analytics, no third-party code of any kind. Everything you write stays in the app's own storage on your phone. Voice notes are written out by your own phone and are never sent anywhere.
This page loads nothing from anywhere else either.
You mark the day, if you want to. The count of days since you started doesn't move, nothing is taken away, and nothing you wrote about yourself changes. Logging is never required — the app never assumes anything about a day you didn't mark.
This version is entirely free. There is nothing to buy, no subscription, and no part of it held back. If a future version charges for something, it will be visible before you get there, and it won't take away anything you already have.
It only works without one, in the sense that it never uses one. There is no server, no account and no sync. Everything happens on the device.
It's built for vaping. Nothing in it is specific to one or the other — a craving is a craving — but the language and the design are aimed at people putting down a vape.
Apple's age questionnaire asks how often an app refers to tobacco or drug use, and for an app about quitting vaping the honest answer is "frequently" — which produces an 18+ rating whatever the reason for the references. The established quit-smoking apps carry the same rating for the same reason. Atrest shows no nicotine product and encourages no one to use one.
No. Atrest is not a medical device, not treatment, and not advice from a clinician. Nicotine dependence is a medical matter and there is real help for it — a doctor or pharmacist can point you to it. In Belgium, Tabacstop is free and anonymous on 0800 111 00.
