How it works

The gap is the game

Nikki checks her phone at a rainy bus stop while Nicotine's glowing eyes watch from the dark.

Log it honestly

One tap every time you use. No shame, no guilt trip. A slip is a data point, not a verdict.

Nikki works at her desk while Nicotine cranks up a pressure gauge.

Stretch the gap

A live countdown to your next one. Each week the goal grows a little past your typical day, at your pace.

Nikki holds up her phone and pushes Nicotine back in a neon corner store.

Level up

Longer gaps earn XP, ranks and 100+ comic badges. Every five levels, a boss fight.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is NYX?

NYX is a free game for adults who want to cut down on nicotine. It's out now on Android, and the iPhone and iPad version is coming soon. You log each use, and the app sets a gap goal that slowly grows. Longer gaps earn XP, levels, badges and unlock a comic series.

Do I have to quit on day one?

No. NYX is built around cutting down first. You stretch the time between uses at your own pace, and a slip is just logged and counted, never punished.

Does it work for vapes, cigarettes and pouches?

Yes. You can track vapes, cigarettes or nicotine pouches.

Is NYX free?

Yes. NYX is free with light ads: none in your first 24 hours, at most four a day, and never when you open a game during a craving. NYX Pro is $4.99 a month and removes ads.

Do I need an account?

No. You can play without an account and keep progress on your device, or sign in to save your progress to the cloud.

Is NYX medical advice?

No. NYX is a game-based tool to help adults reduce nicotine use. It is not medical treatment or advice. For medical support, talk to a health professional or your local quitline.
