In development — Android first
Care that meets people where they are.
Tether Health Group is building calm, private digital health tools — starting with smoking cessation and extending across 11 areas of health. Small steps, practical support, and no judgment.
No trackers on this site. We ask for an email address and nothing else.
What we are building
One system. Many areas of health.
The hard parts of behaviour change are the same whether someone is quitting cigarettes, managing blood glucose or keeping up with a screening schedule: a plan you actually believe in, help in the moment it is needed, and a record that survives a bad week.
We are building that once — consent, plain-language education, coping tools, progress without punishment, and routes to real people — then shaping it to each health area.
A plan people own
Built from someone's own reasons, their own date, their own supporter.
Help in the moment
Short, guided tools for the minutes that decide the outcome.
Progress without punishment
Patterns and estimates that a setback never wipes out.
A route to a person
Quitlines, supporters, coaches and care teams — never a dead end.
Where we are headed
11 programs, one app, one area at a time.
We would rather do one thing properly than 11 things thinly. BreatheFree, for tobacco and nicotine, is in build now. The other programs are prototypes, a proposal or planned, and the order will follow where the need and the evidence are strongest. None is available to use yet.

Our first program
BreatheFreeYour next breath can be different.
BreatheFree supports people through quitting smoking — from the first honest look at a habit, through building a plan, to the craving that arrives at 11pm on a Tuesday. Twenty-eight screens are designed and approved, and we are building them into a working application now.
- Help when cravings hitOne tap, no typing
- Progress that staysA slip never erases your wins
- Private by designNo ads, no selling health data
- English and SpanishDesigned for plain language in both
How we build
Four commitments we will not trade away.
Private by design
No ads. No selling health data. Sensitive notification text is off by default, so a lock screen never announces someone's health to the room.No judgment, just support
A setback never erases progress. Our tools are built to respond to a difficult day with help rather than a broken streak.Works when it is needed
The hardest moments do not wait, so core support tools are designed to work one-handed.Designed to be usable
Designed for plain language, screen readers, larger text, and a choice of English or Spanish.
Building this with clinicians, not around them.
Our tools educate and support self-management. They do not prescribe, diagnose or replace a clinician. If you work in tobacco treatment, primary care or public health and want to shape what we build, we would like to hear from you.
