Quitting · for people quitting smoking or vaping
Bomi is a quit tracker with a companion character for people quitting smoking or vaping, and it also works for alcohol, caffeine, or a habit you name yourself. Pick the habit with one tap and a live counter starts, while Bomi, a worn-out little moss creature, perks up as your time held on adds up. When a craving hits, the Help me button opens a single keyboard key to tap until it passes. A slip resets only the current clock, never Bomi or your history, and nothing you record leaves your phone.
Press Help me and the screen opens on a single keycap, with no menu and no title. Each press plays a real keyboard recording with a small buzz under your thumb, and a row of 40 dots fills without a number in sight. Fill the row, or tap I'm okay now after ten presses, and Bomi tells you that you did it while the beaten craving adds half an hour to its recovery.
Bomi starts out worn out, lying under a blanket with its eyes shut. Time you hold on moves it through five stages, Worn out, Stirring, Stretching, Smiling and Beaming, as it sits up, grows a sprig and finally a small pink flower. The home screen shows the stage, a progress bar to the next one, and your time held on in days, hours, and minutes.
Tap I slipped — start again and only the clock for this run goes back to zero. Bomi keeps its stage, your total time held on and longest streak stay put, and the run you just finished moves into Past runs. Money saved keeps counting from every hour you have held on, not only the current run.
Most quit trackers are good at the slow part: a counter that climbs, a tally of money not spent. The hard part comes in bursts, and a burst is exactly when reading a list of tips or choosing between tools feels like one more task. Bomi was built around that minute.
So Help me skips the menu. It opens straight onto one keycap, with no title to read. Presses play four recordings of a real keyboard, rotated so the same click never comes twice in a row, and they play even with the ring switch on silent, mixed under whatever music you already have going. If you would rather keep it quiet, Keyboard sound has its own switch in Settings.
Close the screen halfway and nothing scolds you. Only finished sessions count as cravings beaten, and opening it by accident and closing it without a single press records nothing at all.
Bomi's recovery is measured in time held on, added up across every run with your current habit, plus thirty minutes for each craving you beat. Stirring comes at 12 hours, Stretching at 3 days, Smiling at 7 days, and Beaming at 30 days. These are Bomi's own milestones, not a health timeline, and the app never tells you what is happening inside your body.
Because that total only grows, a slip cannot knock Bomi down a stage. The blanket comes off, the eyes open, the sprig gets a second leaf and later a bloom, and Bomi stays that way. Tap it on the home screen and it reacts to you.
The counter on the home screen is recalculated from the moment you started, so a phone that was off overnight still shows the right number in the morning. Add the widget and your home screen shows Bomi, its progress bar, and the day count, with nothing about what you are quitting.
An optional daily nudge arrives once a day at a time you choose, 20:00 unless you move it in 15-minute steps, with a line from Bomi: "How was your day? I'm right here, waiting." Notification permission is asked only when you switch the nudge on, and the message never names the habit.
The Stats tab holds the numbers: total time held on, this run, longest streak, cravings beaten, a bar chart of the last seven days, and every past run with its start date. Enter how much you use per day and the price of each one, and it shows money saved in your phone's currency next to cigarettes not smoked, or vapes, drinks, or cups skipped.
What someone is quitting can be private. Bomi has no account, no server, and no sign-in screen. The app makes no network requests and carries no third-party analytics or advertising code, so the habit you picked, every slip, and every beaten craving sit in the app's storage on your phone.
The trade-off is plain: there is no cloud backup and no export, so the record lives on this phone. Erase all data in Settings wipes it in one step and takes you back to the first screen, and the widget resets with it.
There is no health timeline, no lecture after a slip, no leaderboard, chat, or community feed. Bomi follows one habit at a time. Smoking, vaping, alcohol, and caffeine are one-tap presets, anything else can be typed in, and Quit something else in Settings starts a fresh count for a new habit. Two themes, a light Mist and a darker Forest, are the only decoration choice.
Bomi is a companion app, not a medical device or a treatment for nicotine, alcohol, or caffeine dependence, and it does not give medical advice. For help quitting, talk to a doctor or pharmacist. In the US, 1-800-QUIT-NOW connects you to free, confidential quitline coaching; in England, your local NHS Stop Smoking Service can help.
Yes. Smoking, Vaping, Alcohol, and Caffeine are one-tap presets, and Something else lets you type your own. Bomi follows one habit at a time, and the savings line matches it: cigarettes not smoked, or vapes, drinks, or cups skipped.
Tap I slipped — start again. The clock for the current run restarts from now, but your total time held on, longest streak, past runs, money saved, and Bomi's stage all stay. Bomi does not get sad or sick; it tells you it is still right here.
No. There is no account and the app makes no network requests. Everything stays in the app's storage on your phone, and Erase all data in Settings removes it. Because nothing is kept in the cloud, there is no backup if you lose the phone.
The daily nudge and the home screen widget never name the habit. The widget shows Bomi, its progress, and the day count, and the nudge only says it is right here and asks how your day was.
You enter how much you use per day and the price of each one. Bomi multiplies that by your total time held on across all runs, so a slip does not wipe out the savings. The amount is shown in your phone's currency.
No. It is a tracker and companion with no medical content. A doctor, a pharmacist, or a quitline such as 1-800-QUIT-NOW in the US can help you choose treatment, and Bomi can sit alongside whatever plan you use.
