Most people don't give in on a bad day. They give in at the same hour, most weeks. Hard Bit works out which hour is yours, and warns you fifteen minutes before it arrives. WHEN IT HITS One button, on the first screen. Then, in order: a breathing circle, the sentence you wrote on day one, the list of what this has already cost you, and one question with no wrong answer. About twenty minutes. That is roughly how long a craving takes to rise, peak and pass, whether you act on it or not. THE COUNTER NEVER GOES BACK TO ZERO Log a slip and the number holds. Day 84 becomes "81 of 84 days clear". Three bad nights are recorded as three bad nights, not as a reason to start again from one. This is deliberate. An app you hide things from cannot learn anything, and the forecast only works if you tell it the truth. STOP, OR CUT DOWN Both, equally. Stop completely, or set your own weekly line and keep to it. Cutting down counts use-free days, so a planned drink doesn't wipe anything out. WHATEVER YOURS IS Drinking, smoking, vaping, weed, betting, porn, scrolling, gaming — or something you name yourself. Track more than one at a time. Each keeps its own counter, its own hard hour and its own reason for stopping, and the writing changes to match. Choose gaming and it asks about hours, not money. NOBODY ELSE SEES ANY OF IT No account. No feed. No community. Nothing leaves your phone unless you export it, and the export is a plain file you keep. HARD BIT PLUS A subscription adds the forecast and the message that arrives before your hard hour, the patterns and calendar, widgets, and the short reads. Yearly with a 7-day free trial, or monthly. The forecast needs your own history before it means anything, and it says so rather than guessing at you: under five entries it makes no prediction at all, and it only leans fully on your data at twenty. WHAT STAYS FREE The counter, the button you press when it hits, your own sentence, logging, the journal, milestones and the help links keep working whether you subscribe or not. Nothing you might reach for at 9pm sits behind a payment. WHAT IT WON'T DO It won't congratulate you for being good. It won't shame you for a bad night. It won't sell you a streak. It tells you what your own record says, and lets you decide. Hard Bit is not medical advice or treatment. If you are in danger, the app links to help where you are. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Hard Bit Plus — Yearly, with a 7-day free trial Hard Bit Plus — Monthly Prices are shown in your local currency inside the app before you buy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: RunGap at 3 against Hard Bit's 1. RunGap also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
