HabitHalo is a Boomerang Ventures Portfolio Company
Indianapolis, IN (April 2, 2025) – HabitHalo, an early-stage health tech company focused on vaping cessation technology, has launched its latest innovation, the HabitHalo: Quit Vaping App, now available for a one-time purchase of $9.99 on the Apple App Store. Unlike subscription-based alternatives, this new app provides advanced puff tracking, personalized monitor, reduce, or quit plans, all in a user-friendly, data-driven interface.
A Smarter Approach to Quitting Vaping
HabitHalo: Quit Vaping App is designed for users who want quantifiable insights into their vaping habits while receiving personalized support. The app offers:
- Puff Tracking & Advanced Stats: Monitors usage patterns, including timeframe, number of puffs, pace, and average wait time between puffs.
- Personalized Plans & Goal-Based Mode: Uses a readiness-to-quit scale and time-blocked daily targets to help users gradually reduce nicotine intake.
- Vacation & Weekend Mode: Adjusts pacing based on environmental factors without negatively impacting overall goals.
- Intelligent Sleep Mode: Optimizes reduction strategies by factoring in downtime.
- Real-Time Motivational Cues: Keeps users engaged and accountable throughout their journey.
“Users can adjust the HabitHalo app to suit their goals, whether it’s to monitor or reduce their vape use, or make quitting vaping more manageable, measurable, and motivating,” said Todd Durniak, CEO of HabitHalo. “We’re empowering vapers with tools that adjust to their lifestyle while keeping them on track toward their goals.”
Science-backed and Designed for Real-World Use
A recent peer-reviewed study on vaping cessation—featuring Phil Tran, HabitHalo’s Founder & Chief Product Officer—emphasized the need for personalized, data-driven interventions for young adults. The study found that while 76% of regular college-age vapers have attempted to quit (an average of 2.5 times), most rely on ineffective abrupt cessation methods or gradual reduction with limited success. HabitHalo’s AI-driven behavioral approach aligns with these findings, delivering a customized, adaptive quit experience tailored to real-world habits and challenges.
“HabitHalo’s latest app release is another testament to the power of innovation in connected health technology,” said Eric Beier, MD, Partner and Chief Medical Officer at Boomerang Ventures. “As a company that originated from the Studio ecosystem of Boomerang Ventures, HabitHalo continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in vaping cessation, and we’re excited to see this next evolution in their product lineup and its impact on individuals looking to take control of their plan to quit.”
