Forge vs Etio

Forge is a recovery app built around one idea: cravings pass. The urge you're feeling right now will be gone in 90 seconds. Forge gets you through those 90 seconds — and every one after that. STREAK TRACKING A live clock counts every hour, minute, and second you've stayed clean. No rounding, no approximation. Real time. AI COACH A private recovery coach that knows your addiction, your patterns, and where you are in your journey. Talk through a craving, plan your week, or just have someone there at 2am. RECOVERY GAMES Three science-backed mini-games that train the exact mental skills sobriety demands — impulse control, pattern interruption, and sitting with discomfort without acting on it. DAILY TRIO Three actions every day: check in, play a game, write in your journal. Hit all three and earn bonus coins. Small wins compound. BOSS BATTLES Every weekend, a Pro-tier challenge drops. Beat the week's Boss and earn coins. Miss it and it's gone until next Friday. VICE GRIP PLAN A personalized recovery protocol built from your intake answers. Clinical-grade structure, without the clinical price tag. SOS MODE When a craving hits hard, one tap opens breathing exercises, urge surfing, and your personal coping toolkit — ranked by what's actually worked for you. MONEY SAVED Tell Forge what you used to spend per week. Watch it become months of rent, a vacation, a guitar — the thing you actually want. YOUR COHORT See how many people who started the same addiction in the same week as you are still going. You're not doing this alone. TREE GARDEN Your sobriety grows a tree. Water it daily. Let it wilt and it shows. A living metaphor you can see. BADGES, XP & COINS Every action earns something. Missions, daily challenges, streaks, milestones — all tracked, all rewarded. Works for: nicotine, alcohol, weed, pornography, gambling, gaming, sugar, caffeine, opioids, and more. Forge Pro unlocks the AI Coach, Boss Battles, Vice Grip advanced days, and unlimited game levels. Free trial available.

Etio helps you respond to urges with more awareness, structure, and intention. When an urge hits, Etio guides you through a simple process designed to help you slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and choose what to do next. UNDERSTAND THE URGE Check in with how strong the urge feels, what may be driving it, what you notice in your body, and what the urge is pulling you toward. SURF THE URGE Use guided urge surfing to stay with the urge without reacting automatically. Give the intensity time to rise, shift, and pass. CHOOSE YOUR NEXT STEP Reflect on what you need most in the moment and choose a healthier action you can take right now. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Review completed urge sessions and see how your urge intensity changes from start to finish over time. KEEP YOUR WHY CLOSE Save a personal reason for change so you can reconnect with what matters most when urges feel difficult. Etio is built around progress, not perfection. A setback does not erase the choices you made well. Each urge is another opportunity to pause, respond with intention, and keep moving forward. Etio does not require an account. Your urge-session data and progress information are stored locally on your device. If you have feedback or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you through the app or at feedback@tryetio.com
