How it works

Three steps. Zero hassle.

1. Record the craving

When the craving hits, open NicoLog. The 6-step wizard quickly logs your mood, urgency, context, trigger and whether you resisted. You also have a 10-minute timer to wait it out.

2. Discover your patterns

NicoLog analyzes your data and shows you the highest-risk hours, your main triggers, and the link between mood and cravings. Every week the Journal tells you how it went.

3. Act with a plan

Choose the 30-Day Challenge to quit with a daily objective, or activate the Budget to reduce gradually. Progress is visible — every extra day is a win.

NicoLog adapts to your goal. You don't have to quit tomorrow — you can start from where you are.

Why it works: the science behind NicoLog

NicoLog doesn't make anything up. Every feature is built on techniques validated by scientific research on smoking cessation.

1

Behavioral Monitoring

Systematic tracking of cravings and behaviors is the basis of change. Studies show that people who monitor their behavior are significantly more successful. mindful self-observation significantly reduces automatisms related to addiction.

Self-monitoring in smoking cessation (Michie et al., 2009)
2

Delay & Distract (10 minutes)

The "10-minute" technique leverages the fact that smoking urges peak after 3-5 minutes and then naturally decline. Waiting breaks the automatic cycle.

3

Trigger Identification

Behavioral pattern analysis allows identifying situational and emotional triggers.
Awareness of one's triggers is a significant predictor of success in quitting smoking.

Situational triggers in smoking (Shiffman et al., 2002)
4

Alternative Coping Strategies

Developing substitute behaviors specific to each trigger is essential. Breathing techniques, physical exercise and distraction strategies have been shown to be effective.

5

Feedback and Positive Reinforcement

The visual monitoring of progress and immediate feedback increase motivation and self-efficacy.
Seeing one's quantified improvements strengthens commitment to change.

6

Mindfulness and Acceptance

Techniques of mindfulness help observe cravings without judgment, reducing automatic reactivity.
Mindfulness practice is associated with higher rates of long-term abstinence.

Your numbers speak for themselves

People who monitor their behavior and use cognitive techniques have up to 35% more chances of quitting compared to those who try alone, without a method. That's what NicoLog gives you: a method.
