From tar to star.
Quitting smoking is not a battle of willpower — it is a well-planned climb. Tar2Star counts, celebrates, and stands by you in hard moments. No guilt, just numbers and victories.
Three steps. The rest is climbing.
Start your quit
Mark the moment of your last cigarette. The counters work for you from that second on.
One tap a day
Say "I'm here today"; the streak grows, camps get passed, stars pile up.
Watch the repair
See what your body fixes and when — from minute 20 to year 20, date by date.
See what your body repairs, and when.
600 milestones across the Heart, Lungs, Body, Nicotine, Ecology and Mind routes: each is recorded with its date, approaches with a live percentage, and gets celebrated when you pass it. Science from WHO/CDC, jokes from us. A taste?
Heart rate and blood pressure back to normal — engine idling smooth.
Nicotine in blood: ZERO. Steepest pitch of the climb — no quitting the quit.
ONE YEAR: coronary heart disease risk cut in HALF. Champion.
Every morning, you know which day on the mountain it is.
Your climb calendar, your gains (cigarettes not smoked, money saved, life and time regained), your route progress — all on one board. The numbers aren't estimates: they're computed second by second from your own quit moment.
SOS mode: one tap, three minutes, the wave passes.
A breathing exercise, a craving timer, morale jokes. The app even learns your hard hours and gently reminds you before the wave arrives. And we have one promise: we will never put a sales pitch in front of you in your hardest moment.
Your home screen: 18 real sceneries — or your own photo.
From aurora peaks to dunes under the Milky Way... Or drop in a picture from your gallery: a thin mist settles over it and the numbers adapt to its palette — whatever you choose, everything stays readable.
You're not climbing alone.
A new week starts every Monday and everyone starts from zero. Daily contribution is capped at 500 points, so someone who quit yesterday races on the same line as someone who quit two years ago. Nothing is lost — your trophies and lifetime XP stay on your profile; only the weekly ranking resets.
The board shows a display name and points, nothing else. Your quit date, your money and your cigarette count are never shown to anyone.
Don't forget what you quit for.
The backdrop doesn't have to be a mountain. Put your child there, your mother, whoever you miss the most. Every time you open the app your smoke-free days climb over them — the reason standing right behind the numbers.
When a craving hits, the breathing exercise opens over that same photo: you ride out the three minutes looking at them. Sometimes that's all it takes to hold on.
The photo never leaves your phone: it isn't uploaded to our servers and it isn't shared with anyone. It only lives on your screen.
Every stat gets its own retro card.
"500 cigarettes not smoked: one blue whale, plus half of another." Cigarettes avoided, money saved, time regained — every card is specific to its own stat, and one tap sends it to Instagram or WhatsApp.
It keeps counting even when the app is closed.
The home-screen widget keeps your smoke-free days, avoided cigarettes and money back in your pocket live on your phone's home screen. Your victory, always in sight.
The mountain speaks many languages.
From the interface to all 600 milestones, everything ships in 14 languages with culturally adapted humor.
Who represents you on this climb?
Pick one of 50+ retro avatars — or use your own photo (gold-framed on Premium). Some serious, some properly unhinged — all of them stay with you to the summit.
In short.
Is the app free?
The core is free forever: counters, all 600 milestones, SOS mode, check-ins and trophies. Premium covers extras like personalization, competing with friends, half-price oxygen and advanced stats — the first 5 days are a gift to everyone, and discounted during the founder launch.
Where is my data kept?
Account data lives in Europe (Frankfurt), is never sold, and never shared with ad networks. Details on the Privacy page.
What are the health permissions for?
Optionally we read your steps, distance and floors climbed from your health connection — only to auto-complete movement tasks. That data never leaves your device; it does not reach our servers.
When does it launch?
It's live! Tar2Star is out now on Google Play. The App Store version is next.
Will there be an iPhone version?
Yes — iOS is next on the roadmap, right behind Android.
See you at the summit.
