Short answer: if a streak counter isn’t enough when an urge actually hits, try Forth. It gives you a short visual game for that moment, a plan, and built-in Screen Time blocking, with no account, for $39.99 a year in the US. If you want something different, there are good options by need: Brainbuddy or Fortify for a day-by-day program, Relay for a group, Unchaind or Covenant Eyes for a faith-based app, BlockerX, Canopy or Quit PMO for blocking, CURE or Quitzilla for a streak tracker, and ResetHive or Nomo if you want something free.
We make Forth, so weigh that. Every other app below is described from its own App Store listing and website, checked October 20, 2026.
