Reforge
Read full descriptionHide full description
How many times have you tried to quit through sheer willpower... only to relapse? It's not a lack of character. It's neuroscience. Reforge is the first offline recovery system built on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT/ACT) that works with your brain, not against it. Reforge works 100% without internet. No account. No sign-up. Your data never leaves your device. -------------------- WHAT MAKES REFORGE DIFFERENT -------------------- YOUR PROGRESS NEVER HITS ZERO Forget day counters that shatter with every relapse. Reforge's Recovery Score reflects your real neurological progress. A relapse lowers the score but never wipes it out. Because 80% of people in recovery experience relapses, and that doesn't make them failures. SOS MODE - Your 5-minute protocol When the urge hits, you have 5 minutes to change everything. SOS Mode guides you through adaptive exercises based on the trigger: stress, boredom, loneliness or automatic habit. Built on ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). 90-DAY PROGRAM 3 phases of psychoeducation and CBT exercises to rewire the cognitive patterns. This isn't motivation โ it's applied science. The first 7 days are free. MY WHY - Your emotional anchor Put your deepest reasons for recovering into words. That letter becomes your support when you need it most โ in SOS Mode or on your hardest nights. DAILY CHECK-IN 30 seconds every morning to track your vulnerability level. When the risk is high, Reforge knows and responds. SAFARI CONTENT BLOCKER Native Safari blocker for adult content. No VPN. No server data. Everything stays on your device. RECOVERY JOURNAL 4 entry types with therapist-designed prompts. Process relapses without shame. Document your wins. Generate monthly progress reports. -------------------- FREE vs PREMIUM -------------------- FREE โ always: - SOS Mode (5 sessions per month) - Recovery Score + daily check-in - Full My Why setup - First 7 days of the program - Safari blocker (no limits) PREMIUM โ one-time payment: - Unlimited SOS Mode + 8 trigger types - Full 90-day program - Complete recovery journal - Risk pattern analysis - Full emergency kit (20+) One payment. Yours forever. No subscriptions. Reforge is not therapy and does not replace professional medical care. If you need professional support, we encourage you to seek it.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Gastro Guide at 15.1 against Reforge's 18. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
