A private app for reducing nicotine — no accounts, no cloud

Wean Nicotine is a local-first iPhone app for nicotine reduction. Your usage data is stored on your iPhone and does not sync to the cloud. No sign-up, no login, no account required, no third-party usage analytics. It is a one-time purchase for 29 DKK (approximately $4 USD), and your nicotine reduction journey stays on your device.

Who a private nicotine app is for

Not everyone wants their health data in the cloud or tied to an account.

You do not want to create yet another account

Wean Nicotine has no registration, no email verification, no password. Open the app and start using it immediately.

You prefer your health data to stay local

Your nicotine use is personal information. Your usage data is stored on your iPhone — no cloud sync, no account required. The average snus or nicotine pouch user consumes 10 to 15 pouches per day, and that kind of detailed usage history deserves to stay private.

You are tired of apps that track you

Wean Nicotine has no ad tracking, no behavioural analytics SDKs, and no third-party data sharing. Only anonymous crash reports are sent (via Sentry, to help fix bugs) — see the privacy policy for details.

You want something that works offline

Because everything is local, Wean Nicotine works without an internet connection. On a plane, in the countryside, or with Wi-Fi turned off.

How Wean Nicotine keeps your data private

Privacy is not a setting in Wean Nicotine. It is how the app is built.

Local storage only

Your daily logs, allowance settings, and progress history are stored on your device using local SQLite storage. The app does not sync your usage data to any server.

No account required

There is no sign-up flow. No email, no password, no social login. You open the app and start tracking immediately.

No third-party analytics

Wean Nicotine does not include ad trackers, behavioural analytics, or third-party SDKs that collect your usage data. Crash reports (via Sentry) contain technical context — app version, device model, OS, crash stack trace — but not your logs or settings.

Why privacy matters for nicotine reduction

When you are tracking a personal habit, trust in the tool matters.

No judgment from others

Your nicotine data does not appear in a social feed, a shared dashboard, or someone else's analytics platform. Research from the Swedish Public Health Agency (Folkhalsomyndigheten) shows approximately 1.1 million people in Sweden use snus daily — that is a lot of personal health data that deserves to stay private. In Wean Nicotine, it is just for you.

Honest tracking

People track more honestly when they know the data is private. Self-monitoring — simply tracking your use — can reduce consumption by 15 to 20% even without a formal plan (Burke et al., Journal of the American Dietetic Association), and that effect is strongest when you feel safe being honest. If you go over your allowance, only you know.

No risk of data leaks

If your data is not on a server, it cannot be part of a data breach. Your nicotine reduction history never leaves your phone. Log each pouch in one tap (under 2 seconds) knowing that your usage data stays entirely on your device.

You control your data completely

Want to start over? Reset the app. Want to stop? Delete it. There is no account to close, no data deletion request to file.

Does Wean Nicotine collect any data at all?

Wean Nicotine uses anonymized crash reports to fix bugs. These contain no personal information, no usage data, and no identifying details.
