Snus reduction app — cut down step by step

Wean Nicotine is a snus reduction app for iPhone that helps you cut down gradually — the app reduces your daily allowance by 5% each week by default, so you use fewer pouches over time without quitting cold turkey. Research suggests gradual reduction is as effective as abrupt cessation for long-term success (Lindson et al., Cochrane Review 2019), and most tapering plans reach significant reduction within 6 to 12 weeks.

Who this is for

Wean Nicotine is designed for people who use snus and want to cut down at their own pace.

You want to reduce, not necessarily quit overnight

Maybe you want to use fewer pouches per day, spend less money, or just feel more in control. The average snus user consumes 10 to 15 pouches per day, and even small reductions add up. Wean Nicotine supports gradual reduction without pressure.

You have tried before but lost track

Without a clear daily number it is easy to slip back. Self-monitoring alone can reduce consumption by 15 to 20%, even without a formal plan (Burke et al., Journal of the American Dietetic Association). Wean Nicotine gives you a specific allowance each day and tracks whether you stay within it.

You prefer privacy over social features

Wean Nicotine has no accounts, no cloud sync, and no sharing. Your usage data is stored on your iPhone — no cloud sync, no account required.

You want something simple

No complicated settings or long onboarding. Tell Wean how many pouches you use, and it creates a weekly reduction plan for you.

How Wean Nicotine helps you reduce snus

A straightforward process that works week by week.

1) Set your baseline

Tell Wean how many snus pouches you use per day. This becomes your starting point.

2) Follow your daily allowance

Each day you get a clear number. Log each pouch in one tap — the average session takes under 2 seconds. Your allowance decreases by 5% each week by default, and you can pick any pace from 3% to 15% that fits you.

3) Track progress and handle cravings

See weekly trends, total pouches avoided, and optional money saved. Use breathing and urge surfing tools when cravings hit.

Why a dedicated snus reduction app

Generic habit trackers are not built for nicotine reduction.

Built around daily allowance

Most habit trackers count streaks or habits. Wean Nicotine gives you a specific number of pouches per day and reduces it by 5% each week by default. Research from the Swedish Public Health Agency (Folkhalso­myndigheten) shows that approximately 1.1 million people in Sweden use snus daily — it is a widespread habit that benefits from a purpose-built tool.

Craving support tools included

Breathing exercises, urge surfing, and reflection prompts are built in for the moments when you want to reach for a pouch.

No accounts or cloud sync

Your usage data is stored on your iPhone — no cloud sync, no account required. No sign-up, no login, no cloud sync.

Works offline

Because everything is stored locally, Wean Nicotine works without an internet connection.
