The smoke free app offers support for the change in smoking behavior.
The focus of this app is on individual support in the preparation, implementation and / or maintenance of smoke-free. Comprehensive tools based on behavior therapy, e.g. the "smoke log", the "motif scale", the "motivational flash", the "checklist" and much more are offered. With personalized push notifications that inform and motivate, the app accompanies you through the time of change.
In theory and content, the app is based on proven psychological models of behavior change. On the other hand, the years of practical consulting experience of the Rauchfrei Telefon - Team has significantly shaped the design. Recommendations from experts and current practical guidelines were also taken into account in the preparation.
The content-related and structural linkage of the app with the advice offered by the Rauchfrei phone (www.rauchfrei.at) also offers free individual support.
This app supports and accompanies the individual process of becoming smoke-free. It can supplement, not replace, personal advice on stopping smoking and treating tobacco addiction.

The application was created in 2014 in cooperation with the Rauchfrei Telefon - Team under the direction of Sophie Meingassner (concept and content), Helmut Chlebececk (concept, programming, www.pixler.at) and studio.mishugge.com (graphic).
