Quit Smoking is a motivational iOS application designed to support users in their journey to quit smoking. The app helps users stay on track by showing real-time statistics such as days since last cigarette, money saved, and cigarettes not smoked. With a sleek, distraction-free interface and daily encouragement, Quit Smoking transforms a challenging goal into a motivating daily habit. Whether you're taking your first step or already smoke-free for a while, this app keeps your progress visible and your motivation high.

My Approach
The idea behind Quit Smoking was to create a tool that users would return to every day—not out of necessity, but out of pride. I wanted to build an app that visually reflects the benefits of quitting, motivating users with clear metrics and clean UI. I focused on simplicity, emotional clarity, and precision in the way data is presented.
Vision and Innovation
The vision was to make quitting smoking less about guilt and more about celebrating progress. Instead of overwhelming users with stats, I created a minimalistic yet powerful dashboard that shows key information like time smoke-free, money saved, and health improvements over time. Each data point is designed to spark positive reinforcement and daily encouragement.
Identifying Unique Challenges
A key challenge was ensuring that the app remained lightweight and simple, while still offering meaningful insights. Users didn’t want clutter—they wanted motivation. I had to carefully balance clarity and depth without making the interface overwhelming or the logic too complex.
Resolving Complex Problems
I used SwiftUI’s reactive capabilities to update statistics in real-time, ensuring users always see their exact progress. I also implemented logic to handle streaks, milestones, and savings calculations with precision, ensuring data remains encouraging yet accurate. Special attention was given to performance so the app remains smooth over extended usage periods.
User-Centric Design
Every element in the app was designed for clarity and emotion. The UI uses calming colors and minimalist layouts to reduce stress and increase motivation. Information is broken into sections users care about most—time, health, money, and achievement. Each screen is built to give users a sense of control and pride.
Meeting User Needs
Quit Smoking helps users visualize how far they’ve come, rather than how far they still have to go. The app adapts to each user by recalculating milestones based on their quit date and smoking history. It’s not just a timer—it’s a daily motivation engine that supports positive change.

Conclusion
Quit Smoking is more than a tracker—it’s a companion for change. Through thoughtful design, clean execution, and user-centered thinking, I created an app that makes quitting not just easier, but more rewarding. It’s a reflection of my commitment to solving real-world problems with simple, elegant mobile solutions.
