We don’t count days. We count what the days changed.

Including the days you slipped.

Why the counters keep failing.

  1. Relapsing is part of how change works.

    People don’t give up because of the slip. They give up because of the “all for nothing” feeling.

  2. But day counters design the slip into a disaster.

    One bad moment erases every good one. On your worst day, the app has nothing left to offer but a zero.

  3. That’s why streaks break, and break again.

    Tinyo counts different things: money saved, cigarettes skipped, a body quietly recovering. All of it stays after a slip.

Meet Tinyo.

Most days · one minute

Tap to log this moment.

The craving hitting, or the day you slipped — Tinyo is right beside you

The craving hits · three minutes

Not just a record. A way out.

When the craving hits, it hands you science-backed tools, not a log

Inside those three minutes.

Tap the card again to fold it back.

The change every day

That day stays on the calendar too.

Moods, reflections, the day you slipped — all kept. Scroll back and watch yourself get better, little by little.

Whenever doubt creeps in

One number is not progress.

The days you slipped count here too. And none of what you built — the money, the skipped cigarettes, the recovery — resets.

The question underneath it all

"How long until this gets easier?"

The recovery timeline answers in science-backed stages, from 20 minutes after your last cigarette to the weeks your lungs rebuild. You always know what comes next.

Tap the card, see the whole road

Your stage. Your numbers. Your proof.

See where you are, what most people feel at this stage, and your own numbers, week by week. Every figure comes from your records or CDC research.

You have tried the counters.

Streak apps

Tinyo

You slip, and the number drops to zero.
Your progress stays. Your cat waits.
The streak becomes a number to protect.
The cat becomes a companion to grow with.
On a bad day, the app has nothing left to say.
On a bad day, there is a Rx note and one small action.

Five years, two ways.

Privacy is not a setting. It is the default.

Tinyo has no account system. What you write stays where it belongs: with you.

No accounts, at all.

No sign-up, no login, no phone number to bind. No account to breach, nothing to leak.

AI analysis is opt-in.

The optional smart analysis is the only thing that ever uploads. Leave it off, and everything stays on your device.

The author’s adopted orange cat asleep on his lap

Why I built Tinyo.

I used to have a serious nicotine addiction. I tried to quit, and I failed every time. Then one day I adopted a stray orange cat. As on any other day, I had just finished a cigarette. He never asked when I would finally quit, and he never ignored me because I smoked. He simply jumped onto my lap and purred, as if nothing had happened.

In that moment I realized: the reason I had failed so many times was not that I lacked a cold counting tool, but that I lacked a companion who would encourage me and stay beside me.

So I turned my cat into an app — Tinyo. He is a smaller you: from a timid stray to confident and full of curiosity; from the fog of addiction to a new life with your head up. As you grow through quitting, Little Orange keeps getting better too.

That is my whole story. Thank you — let Tinyo grow up with you.

the person behind Tinyo

You might wonder.

Will it cost money?

Joining the waitlist is free. The app is still in development — we’ll email you when it’s ready, and nothing costs anything until then.

What about my privacy?

No leaderboards, no public streaks, nothing to compete over. Your progress is between you and your cat.

Is this therapy or medical advice?

No. Tinyo is a wellness companion, not a treatment. If you need medical support, talk to a professional.

What happens if I relapse?

Nothing resets. Your cat waits, your history stays, and the next morning starts with one small action instead of a zero.

Or just talk to me.

A question, a feature request, a word of encouragement — straight to the developer. No account needed; leave an email only if you want a reply.

Be first to meet your Tinyo.

Coming soon, iOS and Android. Right now this page is the waitlist — we’re still building the app. We’ll email you the moment it’s ready.

One email when it's ready. Nothing else.

Tinyo is a wellness companion, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
