ClearDay is a calm, private sobriety and recovery tracker for changing one habit - or several at the same time. Track alcohol-free days, quit smoking or vaping, monitor recovery from weed or other substances, or change habits involving gambling, porn, gaming, sex, or compulsive scrolling. Each recovery journey has its own start date, progress counter, milestones, stats, and optional savings tracking. Daily check-ins and private reflections help you understand your overall recovery without pressure, guilt, or judgment. TRACK MULTIPLE RECOVERY JOURNEYS Recovery is rarely one-size-fits-all. ClearDay lets you: • Track multiple recovery journeys at once • Give each journey its own start date and timeline • Choose a primary journey for your home screen • Switch between journeys to view individual progress • Reorder, edit, archive, or restart journeys • Track money saved for supported journeys DAILY RECOVERY TOOLS • Check in with your mood, cravings, and personal notes • Write private reflections with titles and timestamps • See days sober, streaks, milestones, and simple stats • Celebrate and share progress when you choose • Reset or restart without penalties or shame A PRIVATE SOBRIETY TRACKER ClearDay stores your recovery data locally on your device. • No account required • No cloud sync • No analytics • No data collection What you write stays with you. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Recovery is not always linear. Missing a check-in or starting again does not erase the progress you have made. Whether you are trying to quit drinking, build an alcohol-free lifestyle, stay smoke-free, or change another substance use or compulsive habit, ClearDay helps you remain aware and consistent - one day at a time. ClearDay is not a medical app and does not replace professional care, treatment, or support. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ClearDay at freemium against The Sobriety Method's subscription. ClearDay also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
