Quit nicotine at your own pace
Couldn't go cold turkey?Go cold turtle.
A step-down plan for pouches, vapes and cigarettes. A little less each week, until you're at zero.
No account. Your plan stays on your phone.
Slow is still forward.
Stopping all at once works for some people.This is for everyone else.
Cold Turtle takes what you use today and trims it by a little each week. No big leap. Just the next small step.
How it works
Tell it what you use.
Pouches, vapes, cigarettes, or a mix. A rough count is fine.
Step down a little each week.
Your daily limit drops by about one. Log each one with a tap.
Reach zero, and stay there.
When you get there, the turtle sticks around for the days after.
Cravings can still show up for a while. The timer stays right here, and so do I.
Give it three minutes.
Tap the craving button and breathe with the turtle. In, hold, out. If you still want one after, log it and move on.
This will pass.
Stay with me.
Had one too many? It's logged. That's all.
No streak wiped to zero, no red warning. If a week goes sideways, the turtle offers to repeat it. You decide.
Over today, and that's okay. It's logged and your progress is kept.
Watch the numbers move.
Days on your plan, cravings outlasted, money kept. Share a card when you hit a milestone, or keep it to yourself.

FAQ
What can I quit with it?
Nicotine pouches, vapes and cigarettes, or any mix of them.
How does the plan work?
You enter roughly how many you have a day. Cold Turtle lowers your daily limit a little each week until it reaches zero. Most plans run 4 to 12 weeks.
What if I go over my limit?
You log it and carry on. Nothing resets. After a rough week, you can choose to repeat that step before moving down.
Can I stop all at once instead?
Yes. You can switch between one step a week and all at once whenever you like.
Is it free?
Cold Turtle is a subscription. You'll see the exact price in the app before you're charged, and you can cancel any time in your App Store settings.
Do I need an account?
No. There's nothing to sign up for.
Is my data private?
Your plan and logs stay on your phone. We collect a small amount of anonymous usage data to improve the app. The privacy policy has the details.
Is it on Android?
iPhone first. Android is planned.
Is this medical advice?
No. Cold Turtle is a self-help tool, not a medical service. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, or have questions about quitting, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
