Hard Bit vs Afoot

Most people don't give in on a bad day. They give in at the same hour, most weeks. Hard Bit works out which hour is yours, and warns you fifteen minutes before it arrives. WHEN IT HITS One button, on the first screen. Then, in order: a breathing circle, the sentence you wrote on day one, the list of what this has already cost you, and one question with no wrong answer. About twenty minutes. That is roughly how long a craving takes to rise, peak and pass, whether you act on it or not. THE COUNTER NEVER GOES BACK TO ZERO Log a slip and the number holds. Day 84 becomes "81 of 84 days clear". Three bad nights are recorded as three bad nights, not as a reason to start again from one. This is deliberate. An app you hide things from cannot learn anything, and the forecast only works if you tell it the truth. STOP, OR CUT DOWN Both, equally. Stop completely, or set your own weekly line and keep to it. Cutting down counts use-free days, so a planned drink doesn't wipe anything out. WHATEVER YOURS IS Drinking, smoking, vaping, weed, betting, porn, scrolling, gaming — or something you name yourself. Track more than one at a time. Each keeps its own counter, its own hard hour and its own reason for stopping, and the writing changes to match. Choose gaming and it asks about hours, not money. NOBODY ELSE SEES ANY OF IT No account. No feed. No community. Nothing leaves your phone unless you export it, and the export is a plain file you keep. HARD BIT PLUS A subscription adds the forecast and the message that arrives before your hard hour, the patterns and calendar, widgets, and the short reads. Yearly with a 7-day free trial, or monthly. The forecast needs your own history before it means anything, and it says so rather than guessing at you: under five entries it makes no prediction at all, and it only leans fully on your data at twenty. WHAT STAYS FREE The counter, the button you press when it hits, your own sentence, logging, the journal, milestones and the help links keep working whether you subscribe or not. Nothing you might reach for at 9pm sits behind a payment. WHAT IT WON'T DO It won't congratulate you for being good. It won't shame you for a bad night. It won't sell you a streak. It tells you what your own record says, and lets you decide. Hard Bit is not medical advice or treatment. If you are in danger, the app links to help where you are.

Tap Start tracking once and Afoot records your day on its own. It can tell whether you’re walking, running, cycling, or driving. You don’t need an account. Your history stays on your iPhone. ■ Automatic recording You don’t have to keep the app open. If Afoot gets an activity wrong, you can fix it on the timeline. ■ Workouts Choose cycling, walk/run, or hiking and set a goal by distance, time, or destination. Afoot reads out your progress as you go. When you finish, you’ll see your pace (speed for cycling) and estimated calories. ■ Place alerts Save home or work to pause recording while you’re there. Save a place you’re heading to, and Afoot notifies you how far you have left as you get close. ■ Collections Put the activities from a trip, or a route you take often, on one map. Photos and videos you took along the way show up where you took them. You can export a collection as an image or a video. ■ Maps and history Every route has speed and elevation graphs. You can jump to any past day from the calendar. You can also import and export GPX files. ■ Privacy There are no ads, and no tracking or analytics code. Afoot looks through your photos on your iPhone and uploads nothing. You can lock the app with Face ID. ■ Battery Using GPS in the background can drain your battery faster.
