PurePath

Quitting is hard enough. Your app shouldn't make it harder. PurePath helps you break free from compulsive digital habits with the two things that actually work: a content shield enforced by iOS itself, and calm, science-based tools for the moments when urges hit. No shame, no pressure tactics, and genuinely private, we never see your data, because there's no account and nothing ever leaves your phone. A SHIELD WITH TEETH ⢠Block adult websites with Apple's own system-level Screen Time filter, not an in-app browser trick ⢠Shield any apps or sites you choose; a calm, streak-aware screen stands in the way ("Day 34. Still yours.") ⢠Strict Mode: turning protection off takes a 24-hour cool-down. Urges last minutes, the countdown outlasts them ⢠Partner Lock: give someone you trust a code that's required to disable protection. Stronger than willpower: another human HELP IN THE MOMENT, FREE FOREVER ⢠One-tap SOS: guided breathing, urge surfing, and 5-4-3-2-1 grounding ⢠One-tap call to your accountability partner ⢠The SOS tools and crisis resources never require a purchase. A safety net shouldn't have a paywall. A PLAN, NOT JUST A COUNTER ⢠A 2-minute self-reflection assessment maps your personal triggers ⢠Build if-then rules for your riskiest moments, decide now so the moment doesn't decide for you ⢠Daily 1-minute check-ins track urges, triggers, and mood ⢠Milestone chips at 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 21 days, and 90 days, and a slip never takes your chips away ⢠Send honest status updates to your accountability partner in one tap LEARN HOW YOUR BRAIN ACTUALLY WORKS ⢠Snack-sized reads on neuroplasticity, dopamine, the shame loop, and habit science - honest, hedged, and free of miracle claims ⢠Region-aware support directory: crisis lines, therapist directories, and peer-support groups for your country PRIVACY ISN'T A SETTING HERE. IT'S THE FOUNDATION. ⢠No account, no email, no sign-up ⢠No analytics, no tracking, our App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected," and it's true ⢠Optional Face ID lock so no one stumbles into your private space ⢠Delete everything, permanently, in two taps HONEST PRICING Try everything free for 7 days. We send you a reminder on day 5, before anything is charged. Cancel anytime in Settings. No countdown clocks, no fake discounts. We'd rather you decide with a clear head.

Pull-Up Trainer takes you from wherever you are today ā even zero unassisted reps ā to 20 strict pull-ups, using the proven Armstrong Pull-Up Program with the rough edges fixed. Most pull-up apps just count. This one coaches. THE PROGRAM, DONE PROPERLY ⢠A real 5-day week: max-effort day, pyramid day, grip-switch training sets, max day, and a "repeat your hardest day" finisher ā the actual Armstrong structure, not a watered-down copy. ⢠Pyramid rest scaling that adjusts to the set you just finished, so you recover exactly as much as the program intends. ⢠Training-set calibration: the app learns your repeatable, sub-failure number and adjusts it up when it's easy and down when you stall. START FROM ZERO ā WITH A BAND Can't do a pull-up yet? Start with a resistance band and do real pull-ups from day one. Pull-Up Trainer walks you down a clear path of less and less help ā both feet in the band, one foot, one knee, a lighter band, negatives, and finally your first unassisted rep ā based on your reps and sets, not band colour (which no two brands agree on anyway). The moment you get that first bare-bar rep, it hands you onto the full program. You watch your strength climb as the help comes off. A REST TIMER THAT REACHES YOU The rest timer keeps counting when you leave the app or lock your phone, and sends a Time-Sensitive alert the moment your break is over ā so it cuts through Focus and Do Not Disturb, and you never sit around guessing. Choose silent, sound, or haptic cues so you can train anywhere. A SAFETY NET THE ORIGINAL NEVER HAD ⢠Overtraining guard: detects stalls and regressions and recommends a deload before you dig a hole. ⢠One-tap injury/illness reset: rebuild back to full volume on a sane ramp instead of guessing. HONEST PRICING Free for 21 days ā the whole app, no crippling. Finish the 21-Day Challenge and lock in a discounted one-time unlock; otherwise a simple one-time unlock. Pay once, own it forever. No ads. No subscription. Ever. Your training history stays viewable even if you never buy. Built by a lifter who wanted the pull-up app that didn't exist. Clean, fast, and focused on one thing: getting you to 20.

PurePath and Pull are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters ā price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them ā neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
