Short answers about what Freewill does, who it is for and how it helps you stay smoke-free.
About Freewill
What is Freewill?
Freewill is a quit smoking app for iPhone and Android. It counts your smoke-free time, money saved and cigarettes not smoked, grows a tree for every smoke-free day, and connects you with a live community of people quitting at the same time. It also has games for cravings, routines that replace smoking habits, health milestones and an AI coach.
Who is Freewill for?
Anyone who wants to quit or cut down cigarettes, rolling tobacco or vaping. It works whether you stopped today, are planning a quit day or are starting again after a slip.
Which languages does Freewill support?
The app is available in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese and Russian. Community messages can be translated into your language with one tap.
Is Freewill free?
Freewill is free to download. Most of the experience, including the community, the forest and the full statistics, is part of Freewill Pro, a subscription with monthly, three month and yearly plans. The price for your country is shown in the app before you pay, and you can cancel any time from your App Store or Google Play account.
Is Freewill a medical treatment?
No. Freewill is a support and motivation app, not medical advice. If you use nicotine replacement or medication, follow your doctor or pharmacist.
Quitting with other people
Can I quit smoking with other people in Freewill?
Yes. Freewill has a live community with rooms organised by stage: getting ready, the first week, the second week, weeks three and four, month two and people who are past the first weeks. You can talk to people who are on the same day as you, any time of day.
Is there help in the moment a craving hits?
Yes. There is a Craving room where people answer when you are about to smoke, a guided breathing exercise that lasts as long as a craving, and quick games to get through the next few minutes.
Does Freewill have group challenges?
Yes. Community events give everyone one shared goal, such as 100,000 cigarettes not smoked together, and every member’s smoke-free days count toward it. There is also a leaderboard based on active smoke-free days.
Can I message someone privately?
Yes. You can send direct messages, photos, videos and voice notes, and view once photos and videos that can be opened only once.
Is the community moderated?
Yes. Rooms have community rules, moderators and reporting and blocking tools.
Games and motivation
Does Freewill have games to help with cravings?
Yes. Freewill includes Word of the day, Daily path, Find the pair, Snake, Piano, Balloon pop and Color memory, plus live trivia and duels with other members. A round lasts about as long as a cigarette, which is roughly how long a craving takes to pass.
What is the Freewill forest?
Every smoke-free day plants a tree that grows through five stages during the day. Each month becomes its own island. Smoke-free days earn coins you can spend on tree species, islands and skies, so the forest becomes a visible record of what you have already done.
How does Freewill track my progress?
From your quit time it counts smoke-free days and hours, cigarettes not smoked, money saved from your own pack price, and nicotine and carbon monoxide avoided. A ten second daily check-in tracks happiness, confidence, craving and irritability over 7, 30 or 90 days.
What health milestones does Freewill show?
Nineteen milestones based on what happens in your body after quitting, such as carbon monoxide levels returning to normal around hour 12 and taste and smell improving in the first days. You are told when each one is reached.
Is there a coach?
Yes. The AI coach knows your quit date, streak and numbers and can be asked anything at any hour. For bad days you also have people in the community who are going through the same thing.
Practical
What happens if I smoke a cigarette?
You log it and start again. A slip is part of most quit attempts, and Freewill has a Starting again room in the community for exactly that moment.
Does Freewill help with vaping or other nicotine?
Yes. The counters, routines, community and games work the same way whether you are quitting cigarettes, rolling tobacco or vapes.
Where can I download Freewill?
On the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
