Quit Smoking Stopwatch

Quit Smoking Stopwatch is a simple-to-use software application that counts the time it has passed since you have stopped working. This way, you can keep track to maintain your motivation level and hopefully not fall back into old habits. It even has an achievement system to pique your interest.

Simple setup and interface

Installing this program is a speedy and easy job that shouldn't give you any trouble. You are welcomed by a standard interface, which consists of a common window with a well-structured layout.
There are two buttons displayed for starting and stopping the timer. The utility monitors the number of years, days, hours, minutes and seconds, and it also displays total time passed since your last cigarette. In case you fail in your goal and then stop and reset the timer, the total time passed is replaced with your smoke-free record.

Set the date and time you quit smoking

If you have already stopped smoking, you can edit the exact time and date of quitting by consulting a calendar. What's more, Quit Smoking Stopwatch shows how much money you have saved during this entire time, in dollars.

Find out how much money you've saved

You can edit the price of one cigarette along with the number of cigarettes smoked in the course of a day, as well as access the Windows Calculator if you need help in this regard. The tool doesn't integrate an option for changing the currency. However, because it synchronizes to the system currency, you can change it from the Control Panel.

Gain awards when reaching milestones

Awards are gained by reaching important milestones, such as the first run, first day, first week and first month. Quit Smoking Stopwatch gives you the possibility to send messages to your friends via the default email client, reset the stopwatch or money save-up records, add password protection to the program, hide the save-up counter, and set the tool to run at Windows startup, daily, or every two, three or four days.

Evaluation and conclusion

Unsurprisingly, it had minimal impact on PC performance, running on low CPU and RAM. However, it prompted an error dialog at program startup. We have also noticed that it stops the timer on exit, which means that it must run at all times to maintain your smoke-free record. It doesn't have a resume button at restart, so you have to edit the date and time of quitting at every launch. Nevertheless, you can test Quit Smoking Stopwatch for yourself, since it's free.
