The idea
I tried several times to quit smoking. The hardest moments were when watching movies and seeing actors light up — the crackle of the cigarette would trigger intense cravings. It hit me: what if I could create those cravings deliberately, in a safe way, and then practice mindfulness to let them go? This is how Quisten was born.
Most quit-smoking apps focus only on willpower or nicotine replacement. Quisten is different: it combines science-backed lessons and an integrated cue exposure + mindfulness feature that targets the psychological chains of addiction, teaching you to listen to cravings when they arise, and to master them (or better, to let them go...).
How it works:
8-day journey: Short daily audio lessons (with transcripts) explain how nicotine traps you and how to dismantle these patterns, breaking the myths that brought you to smoking and held you captive until now. Integrated cue exposure + mindfulness: Using realistic spatial audio of smoking (lighters, crackles, inhales), the app safely triggers cravings while guiding you to notice and let them pass. This combined approach trains your brain to reduce the grip of triggers, helping you regain control over urges.
Why it matters:
Smoking addiction is 10% physical, 90% psychological. Cravings are triggered by the sights, sounds, and routines associated with smoking. Quisten’s integrated cue exposure + mindfulness approach is the first mobile app to tackle these triggers safely and effectively.
Who it’s for:
For anyone ready to quit smoking without relying on willpower. You will quit not because you have to, but because you WANT.
