Denicotinizer is a behavioral planning and encouragement tool for gradually reducing cigarettes, snus, nicotine pouches or vaping. It creates a personal daily rhythm, reminds you when a planned window arrives, and records what you actually chose.

YOUR REDUCTION PLAN
Tell Denicotinizer where you are starting.
Your baseline is the amount you currently use on a typical day. Denicotinizer will never plan above that baseline.
Select your nicotine type: cigarettes, snus, nicotine pouches or vape.
Enter your normal daily baseline.
Choose a planning level and reduction pace that feels realistic.
Review the preview. Confirm only when it reflects the rhythm you want.
Important: Low / Medium / Heavy are planning categories, not medical risk classifications.

MY DASHBOARD
Your day at a glance.
The dashboard keeps the day simple: today’s planned limit, what you have logged, your next planned window and your full schedule.
Today
Shows logged choices versus today’s planned maximum.
Next window
Shows the next planned time and a live countdown.
Schedule
Each window changes state as you log skipped or used.
Your plan
Shows product type, baseline, level and pace.

05
LOG YOUR CHOICES
Record what happened - without judgement.
When a planned window arrives, record the choice that actually happened. The history is about awareness, not perfection.
SKIPPED
I skipped it
Records that you passed the planned window without using nicotine.
USED
I took one
Records a nicotine use. It does not punish or reset your plan.
RESCUE
Rescue me
Records a difficult moment and gives a short supportive intervention.
Tip: Log honestly. Progress analytics are more useful when the record reflects what really happened.
06
WEB PUSH REMINDERS
Turn reminders on once.
Open the activation/reminders screen.
On iPhone/iPad, first add Denicotinizer to the Home Screen and open the installed icon.
Select Enable reminders and allow notifications when iOS/browser asks.
Use Send test reminder to verify the device.
Update-safe notifications: from v0.8.14 onward, Denicotinizer stores your reminder preference separately and automatically reconnects an existing browser push subscription after normal app/service-worker updates. A software deployment should no longer require you to press Enable reminders again.
You may still need to re-enable notifications if you manually disable notifications in iOS/browser settings, remove the PWA, clear all site data, revoke permission, or if the operating system invalidates the underlying push subscription.
07
PROGRESS & INSIGHTS

The Progress page separates two different views so the graphs stay meaningful.
Planned daily-use reduction
The full-program trajectory of your planned maximum uses per day.
Logged uses by hour
Shows when during the day your logged nicotine use tends to happen.
Milestones
25%, 50%, 75% and 100% program markers.
Streaks & rescue

APPLE WATCH COMPANION
Tap the complication. Choose. Logged.
The recommended Apple Watch workflow is simple: install the shared Shortcut once, add Denicotinizer Watch as a watch-face complication, then use that complication whenever you want to log a choice.
The Apple Watch setup page in Denicotinizer.
A. Generate your personal Watch Key
Log in to Denicotinizer and open Apple Watch.
Select Generate / replace Watch Key.
Copy the key immediately. The complete key is shown only when generated.
If the key is ever exposed, replace or revoke it from the same page.
B. Install and configure the shared Shortcut
Press Install Denicotinizer Shortcut.
Add the shared Shortcut to the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
Open Denicotinizer Watch for editing.
In all three Get Contents of URL actions, replace YOUR_WATCH_KEY_HERE with your personal Watch Key.
Keep the endpoint, POST method, JSON field names, and action values unchanged.
English reference: POST to the Denicotinizer Watch endpoint with action and key.Make sure Show on Apple Watch is enabled.
C. Run it once and approve access
Run the Shortcut once on iPhone or Apple Watch.
When iOS asks whether the Shortcut may access denicotinizer.com, approve it.
If iOS offers Always Allow, choose it so routine Watch logging does not keep asking for permission.
Choose one test action and confirm Denicotinizer records it.
D. Add Denicotinizer Watch as a complication
On Apple Watch, touch and hold the watch face.
Tap Edit and move to the complications screen.
Choose the position where you want Denicotinizer.
Select Shortcuts.
Select Denicotinizer Watch.
Return to the watch face.
Complication setup: edit watch face → Shortcuts → Denicotinizer Watch.
E. Everyday use
Tap complication → choose action → logged. Choose I skipped it, I took one, or Rescue me. The Shortcut sends the choice directly to your active Denicotinizer plan.
Important: the Shortcut is not automatically triggered by a Denicotinizer Web Push notification. It is a fast launcher from the watch face (and can also be run with Siri). Never share your personal Watch Key.
