See how FreeAir Coach works
A board-certified pulmonologist built an AI quit coach available 24/7. Here's what that actually looks like.
CBT · ACT · MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING · POWERED BY CLAUDE AI
Everything you need to quit for good
Built on the same clinical frameworks your pulmonologist uses — delivered 24/7 through your phone.
24/7 AI Coach
Conversational AI powered by Claude, grounded in 45 clinical sources. Real conversations during real cravings — not scripted responses.
Unique in this spaceCBT + ACT Framework
Full Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing protocols — not simplified wellness tips.
Doctor-designedCraving Intelligence
Log triggers, track patterns, and let the AI identify your top craving drivers. Turns behavioral data into personalized coaching in real time.
AI-poweredLung Recovery Timeline
Watch your body heal — hour by hour, day by day. Blood oxygen, circulation, lung function, and cancer risk reduction — all tracked from your first smoke-free moment.
Physician-curatedOne-Tap SOS Rescue
When a craving hits, tap SOS for guided box-breathing and a quick distraction game to ride out the urge — and your AI coach can walk you through the DEADS strategy (Delay, Escape, Avoid, Distract, Substitute) right in chat.
Beat cravings in minutesPrivacy-First Architecture
Craving logs and quit history are stored locally on your device — we don't operate health-data servers. Messages you send the AI coach are securely transmitted to generate responses; see our privacy explanation for exactly what moves where.
No server health data6 CBT Lesson Modules
Structured lessons covering addiction neuroscience, trigger identification, withdrawal management, relapse prevention, and identity-level change.
Self-paced6 Guided Relaxation Sessions
Urge surfing, craving breathing, stress release, nighttime calm, and emergency craving breaks. Built specifically for nicotine withdrawal, not generic wellness.
Cessation-specificAchievements & Milestones
Celebrate every smoke-free day, every craving resisted, every dollar saved. A gamification system that rewards real quit milestones — not app usage.
MotivatingFrom craving to smoke-free — step by step
A clinically structured program you can start today — without a prescription or a waiting room.
Set Your Quit Profile
Tell us your quit date, daily cigarette count, and biggest triggers. Takes 2 minutes. The AI coach uses this to personalize every response from day one.
Meet Your AI Coach
Your 24/7 coach is ready immediately. Ask anything — cravings, withdrawal, medication questions, emotional support. Evidence-based answers grounded in 45 clinical sources.
Log & Learn Your Patterns
Log each craving: trigger, intensity, emotion, outcome. The AI analyzes your patterns and adjusts its coaching to your specific psychology over time.
Build Quit Resilience
Work through CBT lessons, use the one-tap SOS rescue during real cravings, and use guided relaxation during withdrawal. Your quit strength compounds every day.
Built on 20+ years of pulmonary medicine
Most other quit smoking apps were built outside active clinical practice — by tech companies, researchers, or ex-smokers. FreeAir Coach was built by the doctor who sees what cigarettes actually do to your lungs — every single day in the ICU and clinic.
The AI coach doesn't guess at what works. It's grounded in the same evidence-based frameworks your pulmonologist uses — with a clinical reference library you can trust.
- CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — restructures the thought patterns that drive smoking urges
- ACT Acceptance & Commitment Therapy — urge surfing and values-based quit motivation
- MI Motivational Interviewing — meets you where you are, never pushes or lectures
- 5 A's Ask · Advise · Assess · Assist · Arrange — the clinical standard for cessation counseling
- DEADS Delay · Escape · Avoid · Distract · Substitute — real-time craving management protocol
Dr. Beyene is a board-certified pulmonologist and sleep medicine specialist. In his clinical practice he treats patients with COPD, emphysema, lung cancer, and the full spectrum of smoking-related lung disease every day, including inpatient pulmonary and critical care. He founded FreeAir Coach because he was tired of watching patients struggle to quit without adequate support. Dr. Beyene's clinical practice (including Washington Metro Sleep Institute) is operated separately and is not affiliated with FreeAir Coach LLC.
"I've seen what smoking does to lungs from the inside. I built this app because every patient deserves the kind of 24/7 coaching that was never available before AI made it possible."
A quit smoking app built by a pulmonologist who has watched smoking kill people — and decided to do something about it.
- AI grounded in 45 clinical sources from Dr. Beyene's own practice library
- CBT protocols matching real clinical cessation counseling
- Educational medication information — the app never prescribes
- Withdrawal guidance reviewed by Dr. Beyene against clinical references
- The same 5 A's framework used in Dr. Beyene's clinic — in your pocket

FROM THE BLOG
Quit-smoking science from a pulmonologist.
Evidence-based guides on smoking cessation, craving neuroscience, and lung recovery — written and reviewed by Dr. Eskender Beyene, MD, FCCP.
Coaching works best alongside medication and real people.
Combining behavioral support with FDA-approved cessation medication — nicotine replacement therapy or non-nicotine prescription options — is the most effective approach in clinical guidelines. FreeAir Coach explains these options in plain language and gives you the questions to ask, but it never prescribes: talk with your physician or pharmacist about what fits your medical history.

Prefer to talk to a human coach? Free, evidence-based telephone counseling is available in the US at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669). FreeAir Coach is designed to complement — not replace — professional medical care and quitline support.
