Quitting sugar is hard for about a week — then it gets a whole lot easier. Blocky is the gentle, no-shame companion that gets you through the hard part and keeps you going. Pick a challenge, show up once a day, and watch the change add up. WHY BLOCKY • A 30, 60, or 90-day experiment Choose how long you want to go sugar-free, built around what you actually care about — more energy, clearer skin, better sleep, or fewer cravings. • A gentle daily check-in One honest question a day: did you stay sugar-free? Whether you made it or slipped, you showed up — and that's what counts. No guilt, no streak-shaming. • Craving rescue (SOS) Hit the SOS button the moment a craving strikes. Breathe through it with a guided exercise, or try something instead — drink a big glass of water, brush your teeth, step outside for two minutes, or text someone you trust. Cravings feel intense, then pass. • A selfie timelapse of your progress Take a quick daily selfie and watch yourself transform over the challenge. Your photos stay private on your device — always. • See what's actually changing Track energy, skin, sleep, and cravings, and watch the trends improve week over week. Your sugar-free calendar shows every win at a glance. • Know what to expect Cravings peak around days 3–5. Energy might dip briefly before it climbs. Slip-ups are normal. Blocky tells you the truth up front so nothing catches you off guard. BUILT TO BE KIND There's no punishment for a bad day here. Slipped? Log it honestly, reset, and keep going. The only goal is to keep showing up — and Blocky makes that the easiest part. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your selfies and check-ins live on your device. No accounts to create, nothing uploaded. Start your sugar-free experiment today. Day one is the hardest day you'll have.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blocky at fortnightly against The Sobriety Method's monthly. The Sobriety Method's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
