Try it
Visual demo only. Copy the prompt below to get the app.
Build it yourself
Real files on your machine, a real database, and it is yours. This one carries the interface as well — the layout, the colours and the shape of the real app, read off its own screens.
Each opens with the prompt loaded and waiting — nothing is sent until you press enter. It is copied at the same time, in case the app is not installed.
Build me a local quit-tracking app I own, to replace Quittr. - A web app I run on my own machine: a single Node process serving one page, data in a SQLite file next to it. - A live counter of time since my quit date, and a control to set or reset that date. - An urge flow: a button that opens a 60-second breathing timer, three coping actions, and a "passed" action that writes a row with the timestamp and duration. - Store every urge, check-in and streak reset as its own row so history survives a relapse. - A stats page: urges per week for the last 12 weeks, longest streak, current streak, and time-of-day distribution of urges. - Milestones at 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90 and 365 days, computed from the quit date. - A daily check-in with a 1-5 mood number and a free-text note. - One command to export everything to a JSON file, so my history is never trapped in the app. - Runs on localhost only. No accounts, no telemetry, nothing leaves the machine. - Skip: notifications, a mobile app, and any sync between devices. - Include a README with how to start it and where the database file lives. ## Look and feel Quittr's own — near-black, white type, one strong accent on the panic button, the streak counter the largest thing on screen. Calm, never punishing. Generous spacing, clear hierarchy, big tap targets, phone-readable type, system font. Keep the text dark enough to read at a glance: the softness of a palette belongs to the shapes and the fills, never to the words. Nothing I need to read — dates, numbers, labels — in pale grey on white.

Feature by feature
Every feature, whether AI can rebuild it, and what you would be signing up to keep running if you did. The paid app does that last column for you, and that is most of what the money buys.
| Feature | Core | AI can rebuild | You'd maintain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live streak counter | Yes | Yes | Nothing |
| Panic button with urge tools | Yes | Yes | Nothing |
| Urge log and history | Yes | Yes | Nothing |
| Milestones | Yes | Yes | Nothing |
| Daily check-in | Yes | Yes | Nothing |
| Progress stats | Yes | Yes | Nothing |
| Community and leaderboardsOther people are the feature. You cannot generate those. | Yes | No | You would need the people |
| Push notificationsNotifications are not available to a page like this one at all. | No | No | Only while the page is open |
| Block the sites and the apps on the deviceBlocking needs DNS, a VPN profile or Screen Time. A page has none of them. | Yes | No | Nothing |
What you give up
- the community and the leaderboard
- notifications that reach you when the app is closed
- an icon on your home screen that works offline
- someone else keeping your history safe
Why people still pay
The streak is trivial to build. The thing people are actually paying for is that someone else is watching, and that other people are doing it too.
Or use one somebody already built
Free and open source. No prompt, no building, no subscription.
- Loop Habit Tracker
- A general habit tracker with streaks and stats. No urge tools, but free forever and offline. (android)

Questions
- Can AI really replace Quittr?
- 6 of its 8 core features, yes. The demo above is what one prompt produced. What it cannot do is on this page too.
- What does Quittr cost?
- About $30 a year on the Premium plan. A limited streak counter, with most tools behind the paywall.
- Is there a free alternative to Quittr?
- Yes: Loop Habit Tracker. They are listed below, and they are somebody else's finished work rather than yours.
