Know when nicotine is working for you — and when it's just working on you.
Every pouch app wants you to quit. Balance is for the other people — the ones who use nicotine deliberately and want the focus without the jitters, the creep, or the ruined sleep. It models what's actually in your body, live, and tells you when you're in the zone.
THE IDEA
A zone, not a lecture
Nicotine has a band where it actually helps — below it you're craving, above it you're wired, dizzy, wasting pouches on saturated receptors. Balance draws that band and tells you where you are.
A pouch lands well
Your level has drained. The next pouch will actually do something — this is the moment for it.
Hold — you're there
Focus territory. Balance forecasts when you'll dip out, so the next dose comes at the right time instead of by habit.
More adds jitters, not focus
Receptors are saturated. Another pouch now is wasted — Balance tells you when you're back in range.
THE WHOLE STACK
Your jitters aren't only the pouch
Nicotine, coffee, green tea, matcha, energy drinks, L-theanine — one curve, honestly summed. Balance is the only pouch tracker that sees your coffee, knows theanine smooths caffeine, and shows the sleep-pressure line your stimulants are masking.
One tap logs the real thing
A matcha isn't "a drink" — it's 70 mg caffeine + 30 mg theanine, and Balance logs both. Espresso, mate, cola, even decaf: honest numbers, zero typing. Forgot one? Long-press to backdate.
See the 2 PM crash coming
Sleep pressure builds from the moment you wake — caffeine only hides it. Balance draws both lines and names the moment they cross: your crash window, hours in advance.
SLEEP
The runway home
One line answers the question that matters at 4 PM: "can I still?" — last coffee and last pouch deadlines so tonight's sleep stays clean, plus a clear-by time for everything in your system.
"Sleep by 11:00 PM: coffee done for today · pouch by ~4:10 PM"
HONESTY
Brand-honest, body-honest
A "Pablo 50" is not 50 mg
Some brands label per pouch, some per gram — a Pablo "50" is ~30 mg, a Siberia "43" is ~21. Balance's catalog translates the labels and models each brand's real release speed and absorption heat. A ZYN and a Killa are different events, and the curve shows it.
Out at 10 minutes ≠ out at 30
Absorption happens while the pouch is in. Tap "Out" — on the lock screen, mid-wear — and the dose truncates to what you actually absorbed. Log how you feel (flow, wired, dizzy) and the zone calibrates to your body, not a textbook's.
ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
The pouch timer lives where you look
A Live Activity counts your wear time in the Dynamic Island, shows where the dose will land, and takes the "Out" tap without unlocking anything.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your nicotine data belongs to nobody
No account. No cloud. No analytics. Everything Balance knows lives in a file on your phone — the kind of data that should never be in anyone's database, isn't.
