Best quit tracker apps for iPhone in 2026: count the days since you quit

Last updated October 20, 2026

A quit tracker is a counter that starts the day you stop something. You can use one for smoking, alcohol, sugar, social media or anything else you want less of.

We compared 6 iPhone apps that do this, using each App Store listing as of October 2026.

The 6 best picks at a glance

How we picked

• Works for any habit, whether it is smoking, sugar or screen time.
• Honest resets that keep your history.
• Milestones that give you the next target.
• Statistics such as your longest run.

1. HabitLuma: best quit tracker for any habit

Name the habit, set a start date, and HabitLuma counts clean time. It marks milestones up to a year and beyond, and a slip goes through a short logging flow instead of silently wiping your progress.

• Two habit types: quit habits count clean time since your last slip, and build habits use check-ins on the days you choose.
• A slip goes through a short logging flow and restarts the counter. Your earlier runs stay in your history.
• Milestones run up to a year and beyond, and the app marks them automatically.
• Shareable progress cards in portrait, square or story formats.

Pricing: Free download. Pro is $4.99 a month, $24.99 a year or $59.99 once (US prices, October 2026). View HabitLuma on the App Store

Frequently asked questions

What app counts the days since I quit something?

HabitLuma, Quitzilla, I Am Sober and HabitKit all count days since you quit. HabitLuma works for any habit and lets you build new habits in the same app.

What happens to my streak if I relapse?

In HabitLuma, you log the slip and the counter restarts at zero. Your earlier runs stay in your history, so you can still see your longest streak.

Is it better to quit all at once or cut down?

It depends on the habit and the person. If you are cutting down, a tracker with a daily maximum, such as HabitKit, can help. For alcohol or drugs, ask a doctor before you stop.
