BreatheFree

Your next breath can be different.

Small steps, practical support, and no judgment — whenever you are ready. BreatheFree supports people through quitting smoking, from the first honest look at a habit to the craving that arrives at 11pm on a Tuesday.

BreatheFree screen 1: Welcome. Introduces BreatheFree, language choice and the private, judgment-free promise.

What it does

Four things, each built for the moment it is needed.

Craving rescue

One tap opens immediate, one-handed help. Rate the craving, get one recommended tool, run it, then recheck. It works offline, because the hardest moments do not wait for a signal.

BreatheFree screen 19: Active craving rescue. Guides the selected coping tool in real time.

A plan you build

Choose a quit-date or gradual-reduction path, pick a realistic date, write down your own reasons, and name one supporter with a phrase they will actually understand.

BreatheFree screen 11: Review quit plan. Reviews every plan choice before activation.

Progress without punishment

Smoke-free time, cigarettes avoided, money saved, and which coping tool has helped most. A slip is recorded as an event in the history, never as a reset to zero.

BreatheFree screen 26: Progress dashboard. Shows patterns and estimates without punishment after slips.

A route to a person

Quitlines in English and Spanish, your named supporter, a quit coach, and your care team. Nothing is sent anywhere until you preview it and confirm.

BreatheFree screen 27: Support hub. Connects the patient to quitlines, supporters, coaches and care teams.

Safeguards

The boundaries we designed in first.

A tool that touches someone's health has to be careful about what it claims and what it exposes. These constraints came before the features.

  • Sensitive notifications off by default

    A lock screen shows "You have a BreatheFree reminder" — not your quit status or your medication.

  • Education, never prescribing

    The medication centre explains options and lets you record your own plan. It never selects a medicine or changes a dose.

  • Reports, not measurements

    Craving ratings describe how someone felt. The app is explicit that these are self-reports, not clinical measurements.

  • Export and deletion

    Your data can be exported and deleted, with the deletion actually completed rather than merely hidden.

The whole experience

All 28 screens, in order.

Every screen in BreatheFree has been designed and approved. Walk through the full journey — welcome, onboarding, quit plan, daily support, craving rescue, quit day, resources and account.

Where BreatheFree stands today

BreatheFree is in active development. All 28 screens are designed and approved, and we are building them into a working application. It is not yet available to download, and it has not been through the clinical, privacy and security review that a release requires. Ask for early access and we will tell you when that changes.
