A new free app designed to help smokers stub out for good has been developed by the Government’s Quitline program.
My QuitBuddy is a personalised app that provides a countdown to quit attempts and stats to track the quitting progress.
The app tracks and records smoke-free, cigarettes avoided and dollars saved.
App users can record personal goals and motivation using pictures, words and audio messages.
There is also a community board where you can gain motivation and support from thousands of other people quitting.
You can program danger times for My QuitBuddy to send you a note eg. morning coffee time. When you are craving My QuitBuddy provides reminders of the health benefits of quitting, games to distract you, or you can call the Quitline 13 7848 or a nominated friend from the app.
