This is Atemheld.
Calm and uncluttered. Five areas that work together.
How Atemheld works.
No counting days and no wagging finger — just a calm, honest look at your smoking.
The KLAR path
Clarity, letting go, arriving, regenerating: four phases grounded in the German S3 guideline, Cochrane reviews and proven techniques from CBT and ACT. You take them at your own pace.
22 beliefs
Understanding instead of willpower. You work through 22 beliefs about smoking, each on three levels (aware, understand, experience) and with a small everyday experiment.
SOS mode
When a craving hits, urge surfing, 4-7-8 breathing, a distraction exercise, reappraisal and the German BZgA quitline are right there.
The Mirror
Log every cigarette with its trigger and feeling. Atemheld shows you your triggers and patterns without judgement, plus your smoke-free streak, money saved and health milestones up to your first smoke-free year.
100% private
Atemheld has no servers and asks for no account. Everything you record stays on your iPhone and is never tracked.
Free to start
The first beliefs, the tracker and the SOS area stay free forever. Full Access unlocks all 22 beliefs, the experiments, every impulse tool and the meditations. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and there are no ads.
Your data is yours.
Atemheld works fully offline and needs neither an account nor the cloud. Your journal, your urges and your progress stay on the device, where no one else can see them.
