Burnout
Quit smoking.
Watch your body recover.
Burnout is a quit smoking app for cigarettes, vapes and nicotine pouches. It times the 72-hour nicotine clearance from your actual last one, then tracks your body through named recovery phases — six organs, lungs to circulation, each healing by a percentage taken from published research.

Three days of clearance. Fifteen years of recovery.
Most quit smoking apps hand you a number that goes up. Burnout shows what that number is doing to your body — phases, organs and milestones, each with its source.
72 hours of nicotine clearance
Nicotine has a half-life of about two hours, so blood levels fall close to zero over roughly three days. Burnout counts those 72 hours down live, timed from your actual last cigarette, vape or pouch.
Eleven milestones on one timeline
The home screen is a plant that grows as your body heals, and it names the next milestone and the day it lands. The recovery timeline runs through phases named for what your body is doing — Nicotine Free, Senses Returning, Circulation Up, Airways Clearing. Eleven milestones sit on it, from day 1 to year 15, each carrying its source.
Six organs, each with a healed percentage
The body map tracks lungs, heart, brain, circulation, skin and gums, each on its own published curve. Tap an organ for what is changing and where the number comes from. The weighting is honest: pouches barely touch the lungs.
Milestone timings follow published health-service guidance: NHS — Quit smoking, NHS inform — Benefits of stopping smoking and the World Health Organization quitting timeline. We invent no milestones. This site is information, not medical advice.
One tracker for cigarettes, vaping and nicotine pouches
Nicotine clearance does not care what carried the nicotine. Pick what you use — or several — and the science copy follows it. People quitting a vape and cigarettes at once track both in one place.
Cigarettes
Packs per day, price, and the clearance clock timed from your last one.
Vaping
Pods, nicotine strength and puff habits, converted to what you were actually taking in.
Nicotine pouches
Tins, strength in milligrams, and the same 72-hour clearance the other two run on.

Everything lives on your phone
There is no sign-up screen and no password. Burnout writes everything to your own device and reads it back from there. Put the phone in airplane mode on day one and it keeps counting.
Most quit apps want an account before they want to help you. Burnout has no sign-up to get past.
Moving to a new phone
- Export writes your whole recovery to a file you keep.
- Import reads it back on the new phone and the clock carries on.
- No account to migrate, and no sign-in to remember.
The privacy policy is where this site describes what it measures.
A slip does not erase your record
Smoke one and most quit apps take your whole record away. That is why people delete them and stop tracking at all.
Burnout does the honest thing instead. You log the slip. A new 72-hour clearance begins — no red flash, no buzz, no lecture — and your record carries on from where you stand.
What a slip changes
- The 72-hour clearance clock runs again.
- The day-count clock starts again from the slip.
- Every milestone you reached stays marked as reached.
- Your recovery barely dips, because one cigarette does not undo months of repair.
What people ask before they quit
Does Burnout work for vaping and nicotine pouches, or only cigarettes?
All three. Cigarettes, vapes and nicotine pouches are the same nicotine in different forms, and the clearance physiology is the same, so the recovery timeline is the same. You pick what you use — or several — when you set up, and the science copy follows it. People who vape and smoke track both in one place.
How long does nicotine stay in your system after your last cigarette?
Nicotine has a half-life of roughly two hours, so blood levels fall close to zero within about 72 hours. Its metabolite cotinine lingers longer and is what most tests look for. Burnout computes that 72-hour clearance from the time of your actual last cigarette rather than showing a generic countdown, and counts it down live.
What happens in Burnout if I slip and smoke one?
You log it and your record carries on. A slip starts a new 72-hour clearance, and every milestone you reached stays marked as reached. Your recovery barely dips, because a single cigarette does not undo months of repair. The clock restarts. The healing does not.
Where do the recovery milestones come from?
From published health-service timelines, not from us. The milestones follow the sequence the NHS and the World Health Organization publish: heart rate and blood pressure settling in the first day, breathing easing after about three days, circulation improving over the following weeks and months, and the risk of coronary heart disease falling toward half a smoker's. Where the bodies disagree, the app carries the disagreement instead of picking the friendliest number: the NHS and WHO put that halving at about a year, the 2020 US Surgeon General's report estimates four to five years and the CDC three to six. Each milestone carries its source in the app, and no milestone exists that we cannot point at a source for.
Are the milestones evenly spaced?
No, and an app that spaces them evenly is lying to you. Real milestones are clustered in the first days and then spread out over years. Burnout draws them where they actually fall, so the first week is dense with arrivals and later stretches are long, and it always tells you the honest distance to the next one.
Is Burnout available to download?
Yes. The store badges on this page link straight to the listing. The free tools on this site stay free and still need no download.
Do I need an account, and where does my data live?
There is no account. Burnout has no sign-up and no login: your recovery clock runs on your device and keeps running in airplane mode. Export and import move your recovery to a new phone. The web tools on this site store what you enter in your own browser and need no signup either.
What free tools are on this site?
Fourteen of them, free and open today: a nicotine clearance calculator, withdrawal timelines for smoking and vaping, a craving countdown timer, cost calculators and a dependence quiz. Nothing asks for an email address, and none of it waits for the app to ship.
