A lifestyle app for kicking the pouch habit

The buzz stopped months ago.
You're now paying $200 a month just to feel normal.

Camp Zero turns kicking the habit into a mountain you can see. Every camp is a milestone you can see coming, every hour is money that stays yours. And when a craving hits, SOS gives you 4 quick ways through it.

The part nobody told you

It isn't weak willpower. It's a loop.

1

20 minutes of buzz. 40 minutes of wanting the next one.

Each pouch wears off fast, so it only fixes the dip the last one left. A can a day is fifteen dips a day. Try to remember the last pouch you actually enjoyed.

2

So what have you been calling it?

Fifteen dips a day, from the first coffee to the last thing at night, and you've been calling it a short fuse, a long day, just how you are. Most people go years before anyone points at the tin.

3

And they sold it to you as the clean one

No smoke, no smell, no stains: that was the whole pitch. It's also why you're still here years later, at about $200 a month.

In a Reddit user's words

"I realized I was probably spending about $4000 a year on nicotine and have been for 16 years. That is what really got me to stop. That's half a family vacation for us..."

The app

Every habit app gives you a number. This one gives you a place.

The climbevery hour

Every hour without a pouch, you take another real step up the mountain.

The mountaintap the sky

Tap the sky to see the whole climb: where you are (your photo marks the spot), the camps behind you and the summit you're climbing for.

Milestonesas one lands

From 20 minutes to two years, each milestone lands as a badge, and a slip never takes one away.

SOSwhen it hits

Tap SOS and ride the urge out with something to do: breathe slowly for 2 minutes, do 20 push-ups, call a friend or remember why you started.

Widgetshome + lock screen
One iPhone screen, half lock screen and half home screen. The lock screen: 9:41, 12 days pouch-free beside the date, the days and Camp II rings and the next milestone. The home screen: the Trail widget with the hiker and the Mountain widget, each with a red SOS button.

Your count sits on your home and lock screen, with SOS one tap away.

The ones you've earned in colour and the rest waiting further up, so the next one is always in sight.

Accountability

It's easier with someone watching

Add up to three friends. They follow your climb and send you a few words when it gets hard.

Ana getsyour note, by email
The invite email: Ana, can you help me quit? From Jaka via Camp Zero, with a button to open Jaka's climb. Free, no app or account needed.

You invite up to three people and write them a note in your own words (we start it for you). Ana gets it by email: no app to install, no account.

Ana seesand sends a few words

Ana sees your day, the pouches you skipped and the money you kept. Never a slip. When she wants to, she writes you a few words and sends them up the mountain.

You seenext time you open it

You see her words the next time you open the app: a paper plane brings them up the mountain to you.

Everything's easier with someone in your corner. 314 posts on r/QuittingZyn are people asking strangers to keep them honest. Here it's built in, with people who actually know you.

Why this one works

Three things every other habit app gets wrong

Camp 1

3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months

We dug through thousands of posts from people who quit and built the climb on the 3-3-3 rule. 3 days: the cravings peak, then start to ease. 3 weeks: the hardest part is behind you and old triggers lose their grip. 3 months: the pull is mostly gone and your days run on you again. Each is a camp, so you always know which hard part you're in and that it ends. That's what gets people past day 30.

Camp 2

You can watch it getting easier

The slope is steepest at the start and eases after the first stretch, because that's how quitting goes: the first days are the hardest. "This is as hard as it gets. From here it eases" is the shape of the mountain, not a motivational quote.

Camp 3

A slip drops you to the last camp

Streak counters punish one bad night by erasing four good weeks, so people delete the app instead of restarting. Here you lose the section you were on. You keep the mountain. That's the difference between a slip and giving up.

The summit

Six months, and the reason you started

Freedom, your money back, your mornings, whatever you wrote on day one. It's been at the top of the screen since your first hour.

Jaka, who built this
Day 52 of his own quit · a can a day, $5 a can

I'm not a quit coach. I'm a pouch user who got sick of a tin deciding how my day goes.

I tried the quit apps. Every one of them was a number, and every number went to zero the first bad night. I wanted somewhere I could see myself moving through, with the hard part visibly behind me and the next milestone visibly ahead. It didn't exist, so I built it while I quit.

You'll be on the same mountain I am. Some weeks I'll be a few camps ahead of you. Some weeks behind.

It was the first thing I did in the morning and the last thing at night. … The freedom is worth every single second of the struggle.

A year later, I can look back and realize how far I’ve come. … I’m no longer planning my day around the next pouch.

Another MASSIVE benefit is the money I have saved, close to $2,500 saved not buying any for a year!

My days feel longer and more fulfilling. I'm actually present for them instead of constantly bouncing between nicotine hits and waiting for the next one.

Day 4 I was ready to drive to the shop. Opened the app instead and the next camp was only 22 hours away. I wasn't going to blow 22 hours. That's the entire reason I'm still off them.

I've deleted every other quit app after slipping once, because watching 40 days reset to zero is unbearable. This one dropped me back one camp and I just kept walking. First time I've ever restarted without quitting quitting.

The money number is brutal in the best way. Three weeks in it told me I'd kept $148. I'd genuinely never added it up before. Would like more camps in months 4-6, it gets a bit quiet up there.

My reason sits at the summit and I see it every single time I open it. "So my daughter never sees me with one in." That does more than any streak counter ever did.

On the App Store

A whole year costs less than one week of pouches.

It pays for itself in a week. After that, $2,400 a year stays in your pocket.

How do I start?

Get Camp Zero on the App Store, answer a few questions about your habit and pick Monthly or Yearly. Your climb starts the moment you take your last pouch out.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions. Refunds for App Store purchases go through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

iPhone or Android?

iPhone only for now. Android is next.

When does it get easier?

Sooner than you think. The first 3 days are the hardest and every day after that gets a little easier. By 3 weeks the hardest part is behind you and you're on the home stretch: a craving now and then, not a fight all day. Every camp on the mountain is one of those milestones, with the hours left to reach it.

Quit today or cut down first?

You pick, and the app does both. Quit today and the climb starts now. Or cut down first: over 2 to 6 weeks the app lowers your daily pouches to zero, then the climb starts at Camp Zero. The mountain starts at your last pouch whichever way you get there.

What do I put in my mouth instead?

What people on the sub actually use: ice water, strong menthol candy, cinnamon or a nicotine-free pouch. And when a craving hits, SOS walks you through it: breathe slowly for 2 minutes, do 20 push-ups, call a friend or remember why you started. You don't have to figure that out at 11:40 pm with a craving on.

Do the people watching see if I slip?

No. They see your first name and photo, your day count, the camp you've reached, the pouches you skipped and the money you kept. A slip stays yours. That is the whole point of doing it this way instead of a public streak.
