Quit-vaping habit app (Puff Count model)

Consumer habit-tracking app that converts with an extensive onboarding + hard paywall and subscription trials.

Summary

Replicate Puff Count: build a focused quit-vaping (or single-habit) app that walks users through onboarding, requires a free trial, then uses a hard paywall and subscription to convert users. Build the MVP via hired contractors and design templates, measure LTV with RevenueCat, and iterate creative on TikTok before scaling with paid ads.

Problem

Users trying to quit vaping lack a simple, focused tracker that increases commitment and converts to paid habit coaching/subscription.

Target customer

Individuals actively trying to quit vaping (habit-change consumers looking for focused, mobile-first tools).

Solution

A lightweight habit-tracker onboarding users through questions to surface motivation, then gating core features behind a free-trial hard paywall (subscription).
