Grit is a discipline tracker with one number at the center: a 0 to 1000 Discipline Score that rises when you keep your word and decays when you don't. No feeds, no followers, no noise. Just the number, earned. The score: Every day you get a short protocol of real tasks. Complete them and the score climbs. Skip them and it slips. The economy is honest: early gains come fast, the top of the ladder is earned slowly. Spark, Kindling, Flame, Blaze, Inferno - five tiers, one way up. Your companion: Pick one: Ember, Gargoyle, Dragon, Phoenix, or Ghost. It evolves with your score through five forms. Fall behind and it cools off with you. The final form opens at 850. Few get there. Daily challenges: Join trials like Iron Month, The 10k Round, Seven Clean Days, or Monk's Vow. Anonymous cohorts show how many are running it with you and how many finish. No profiles, no chat, no leaderboard. Just company on the road. Hard mode: One hard day when you need a reset: Silent Day, Deep Day, or Reset Day. A checklist, a countdown to midnight, and no negotiation. Clear every task and the score remembers. Fall short and you take a small hit. Progress: Every point has a reason. A trend of your score, a flame calendar of your months, a radar of where your effort actually goes, and an optional Sunday recap. Facts in plain words, not vanity charts. Journal: One line a day. Your future self will want the receipts. Where this pace leads: Grit projects your current pace forward: which tier, by which date, at what cost. Keep the pace or change it. The number doesn't lie either way. PREMIUM The full daily card (10 tasks instead of 3), every challenge, Hard Mode, and the full Progress history with every gain and drop explained. Lanes (Body, Focus, Willpower, Sleep, Social) are not part of Premium: they open as your score climbs, for everyone. Annual, weekly with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime - prices are shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lockyn at 4.9 against Grit's 3.5. Lockyn also leads on ratings volume (184 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.4 vs 18.0). Grit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
