No account is required! The app works entirely offline and stores all your data locally on your device. This ensures complete privacy - we never see or store your personal smoking data.

Yes, the core features of Smoke Tracker are completely free. This includes logging cigarettes, viewing basic statistics, and tracking your progress. We also offer premium features like advanced analytics and data export for users who want additional insights.

Simply open the app and tap the "+" button or "Log Cigarette" button on the home screen. You can add context like your mood, location, and what triggered the urge. The more information you provide, the better insights you'll get about your smoking patterns.

Yes! You can edit or delete any entry by tapping on it in your history. We believe in giving you full control over your data while maintaining an accurate picture of your smoking patterns.

Yes, completely private! All your smoking data is stored in an encrypted SQLite database directly on your device. We never upload, sync, or store any of your personal smoking information on our servers. This means your habits, triggers, and notes are 100% private and only accessible to you. Even we cannot see your data - it's technically impossible because it only exists on your device.

Yes! You can export your smoking log as a CSV file, which you can then share with healthcare providers, import into other apps, or keep as a backup. This feature ensures you always own and control your data.

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you'll need to export your data from your old phone (as a CSV file) before switching. Then you can import it into the app on your new device. We recommend doing regular exports as backups. We intentionally don't offer cloud sync to maintain your privacy.

We believe your smoking habits are deeply personal and should remain private. Cloud sync would require uploading your sensitive data to servers, where it could potentially be accessed by others. Our local-first approach ensures your data stays completely private and under your control.

No, we cannot recover lost data because we don't store your information on our servers. This is actually a privacy feature - since we don't have your data, no one else can access it either. We recommend regular exports to your email or cloud storage as backup.

Absolutely! The app is designed for mindful tracking, not judgment. Many users start by simply understanding their patterns before making any changes. There's no pressure to quit - the app supports you wherever you are in your journey.

The app is a tool for awareness and tracking, not a medical treatment. By helping you understand your smoking patterns and triggers, it can support your quit efforts. However, for the best success, consider combining the app with other resources like quitlines, counseling, or medical support.

That's completely normal and part of the process. The app is designed to track your patterns without judgment. Bad days provide valuable data about your triggers and can help you prepare better coping strategies for similar situations in the future.

No. While the app provides helpful insights and tracking capabilities, it's not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you're concerned about your health or struggling with nicotine dependence, please consult with a healthcare provider.
