A quiet tracker for the things you want less of
tadoy's quitting module is built for drinking, smoking, vaping, scrolling — anything you'd rather have less of. Calm count, slip-safe logging, trend view that shows the shape of the month instead of just a number to protect. It sits on the same daily page as your journal and mood, not in its own app.
What's in the quitting module
- Custom frame — name what you're quitting and what counts as a slip.
- Quiet count — days, weeks or whatever unit makes sense. Visible if you want it, not the headline.
- Slip-safe logging — a slip is recorded honestly, the chart keeps drawing, the count starts again.
- Trend view — see the shape of the week, month or year. Slips appear in context, not as a broken streak.
- Urge tool — a short, in-the-moment screen for riding out a craving without acting on it.
- Reasons — a private list of why this matters to you, surfaced gently in moments that ask for it.
- Journal pairing — when something happens (good day, hard day, slip), you can write next to the entry.
- Widget — a small home-screen or lock-screen card if you want a calm reminder, off by default.
A tracker, not a program
tadoy's quitting module is not a recovery program, not therapy, and not a substitute for one. If you're in active recovery — AA, SMART Recovery, a clinical program, a therapist — keep doing that; tadoy is the quiet place that holds the day around it.
A tool for the urge itself
The count is the long game; the urge is the hard ten minutes. tadoy has a small in-the-moment screen for exactly that — open it when a craving hits and it holds you through the wave with your reasons in view and the money saved in front of you, instead of a blank "did you slip?" prompt. No streak math, nothing to break — just somewhere to be for a minute until it passes.
How tadoy compares to dedicated quit apps
Each of these does something tadoy doesn't and isn't trying to.
- I Am Sober — the dominant sobriety app: milestones, community, sponsor flows. tadoy is the quieter tracker you'd run alongside it.
- Reframe — neuroscience-led alcohol moderation with structured daily lessons. tadoy isn't a replacement for that.
- Sunnyside — a mindful-drinking coach over SMS. tadoy overlaps in spirit but lives inside a daily page, not a coaching loop.
- Smoke Free — a well-built, tobacco-specific quit app. tadoy covers smoking but isn't smoking-only.
- one sec — adds friction before you open an app; a different mechanism to tadoy's count-and-reflect. The two pair well.
Why the count is quiet
Most quit apps put the streak number at the centre — which works beautifully until a slip happens, and the broken number turns one bad day into a reason to stop opening the app. tadoy's position is the opposite: the count is there if you want it, but the trend view is the main read, and a slip shows up at its actual size — one day in a year, not the end of the story. It sits on the daily page next to your mood, sleep and journal, so cause and effect read together.
Privacy
Quit logs, your reasons and the journal notes next to slips live on your device — not synced to tadoy's servers, not used to train any model. The same on-device posture as journal, mood, body and habits. Full detail on the privacy page.

Common questions
- Is tadoy a recovery program?
- No. It's a calm tracker that sits alongside your daily page. If you need a program, use one — the apps above are good places to look, and talking to a professional matters more than any app.
- What can I quit with it?
- Anything you'd rather have less of — drinking, smoking, vaping, cannabis, sugar, caffeine, scrolling, specific apps, overworking.
- Is there help in the moment of a craving?
- Yes — a short in-the-moment urge screen that holds you through the wave with your reasons and the money saved in view. A calm tool, not a clinical intervention.
- What happens when I slip?
- You log it. The count restarts quietly, the trend view keeps showing the shape of the month, and nothing punishes you.
- Does it have a streak?
- A quiet one. Visible if you want it, never the headline.
- Will it nag me?
- Not unless you ask. Notifications are opt-in per surface.
- Is the data private?
- Yes. On-device, not synced to our servers, not used for training.
