Days Since: counting up from the day you quit

Days Since does the opposite job: it counts time since you stopped something rather than streaks of doing it. We look at why that inversion matters.

Every other app in this roundup counts what you did. Days Since counts what you did not — hours and days since the last cigarette, drink, or whatever you are stepping away from.

What it gives you

The right frame for quitting. A habit tracker asks "did you do it today?" and a quit needs "how long has it been?" — the second accumulates and the first resets. That difference is not cosmetic; it changes how a lapse feels.

A number that grows. Watching a counter climb is a different motivation from keeping a streak alive, and for many people a more durable one.

Multiple counters with milestones, so several quits run at once.

What it costs

Narrowness. It does one thing, and if you also want ordinary habits you will be running two apps.

iOS only. We could not confirm a Google Play package, so the history does not follow you to Android.

A subscription for widgets, themes and unlimited counters.

Who it is not for

Anyone building habits rather than dropping them — the direction is wrong.

A note worth making plainly: for quitting substances, an app is a record, not treatment. If a habit is affecting health or work, a counter on a phone is a poor substitute for talking to someone qualified.
