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.
  • 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

This is the most important thing to say up front. tadoy's quitting module is not a recovery program. It's not therapy. It's not a substitute for one. It's a calm tracker that sits inside a daily reflection page.

If you're in active recovery — AA, NA, SMART Recovery, a clinical program, or working with a therapist — keep doing that. tadoy can sit alongside it as the place that holds your day around it, but the program is the program. For people who want a quieter companion to a serious effort, tadoy works well. For people who need recovery support and aren't getting it elsewhere, the right next step is one of the apps below, or talking to a professional.

How tadoy compares to dedicated quit apps

Each of these apps does something tadoy doesn't and isn't trying to. Worth knowing what's out there.

  • I Am Sober — the dominant sobriety app, with milestones, community, sponsor flows and a vocal user base. If you want the recovery community and the milestone celebration, this is the answer. tadoy's quitting module isn't trying to compete with that — it's the quieter tracker you might run alongside.
  • Reframe — neuroscience-led alcohol moderation with daily lessons, doctor-designed content and habit science. For people specifically working on their relationship with alcohol and wanting structured education, tadoy is not a replacement.
  • Sunnyside — drink-tracking and mindful-drinking coach via SMS. Light-touch and behaviour-change-led. tadoy overlaps in spirit but lives inside a daily reflection page rather than a coaching loop.
  • Smoke Free — well-built quit-smoking app with milestones, health markers and craving logs. Best in its lane. tadoy's quitting module covers smoking but isn't tobacco-specific.
  • one sec — friction-before-opening tool for things like Instagram, TikTok and X. Different mechanism (interrupts the launch) than tadoy's tracker (counts and reflects). The two pair well — keep one sec on, track the trend in tadoy.

Why the count is quiet

Most quit apps put the streak number at the centre — large type on the home screen, daily notifications about the count, animated chips for milestones. That works for a lot of people, and where it works it works beautifully.

Where it doesn't is when a slip happens. A loud streak can turn a slip into a catastrophe — the number breaks, the chips reset, and people stop opening the app because the dashboard now reads as failure. tadoy's position is different: the count is there if you want it, and the trend view is the main read. Slips appear in the chart in their actual size — one day in a year, not the end of the story.

What "slip-safe" actually means

  • No broken-streak banner across the page.
  • No red dot on the app icon.
  • No notification scolding you for the day.
  • The trend view shows the slip as a point in context, with the rest of the month around it.
  • The quiet count restarts without ceremony.
  • You can write a journal note next to the slip if it helps.

Quitting inside the daily page

Quitting doesn't sit in its own app — it sits on the daily page next to your mood, sleep, habits and journal. So a hard week shows up next to short sleep and a heavier calendar, and a clean week shows up next to the things that supported it. The bet is that you read the cause and the effect on the same page, which is something a single-purpose quit app can't do.

Privacy

Quit logs, your reasons, the journal notes next to slips — all on your device. Not synced to tadoy's servers, not used to train any model. Full detail on the privacy page.

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.
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.

A quiet one. Visible if you want it, never the headline.
