Jesse Pinkman’s life as a meth cook lives on in an iPhone app.

'Breaking Bad' actor Aaron Paul has lent his iconic voice to “Yo, B---h,” a single-use notification app released Thursday.

Paul can whisper sweet curses to friends, shout with joy or express the utter annoyances of life in only two words.

The app’s developers have skirted around their creation’s true name in Apple’s App Store by blurring out each profane reference in screenshots and shortening its name to “YB.”

Downloaders are greeted by the many sounds of Paul and even an automatic message apparently drafted and signed by Paul.

“This is meant to be fun and we can have fun with this. Just don’t get your friends fired,” Paul’s note reads.

The app automatically adds “AP” as a friend, but it’s not known if Paul is actually behind the account or if it’s a bot.

Attempts by the Daily News to contact Paul through the app were not immediately returned.

Both Paul and the six-person team with Maximilian & Co. holds the copyright over the app.Their project follows other notification services such as Yo to release single-use messaging applications.
