Recovery tools in one tap

On-device. Nothing leaves your phone.
The urge tool
The tool that's there
when it counts.
When a craving hits, you don't have an hour - you have a moment. The Steady tab is built for that moment: an urge-surf timer that guides you through the wave with paced breathing, grounding exercises, and your own reasons to hold on. It's the same evidence-based toolkit used in CBT and SMART Recovery, in your pocket, always free.
Urge surfing with paced breath
A guided timer that lets the craving peak and pass. Based on the principle that urges last minutes, not hours.
5-4-3-2-1 grounding
Sense anchoring that pulls you out of craving-mind and back to the present.
Play the tape forward
A prompt to walk through what actually happens next if you give in - without shame, just clarity.
Always free, no exceptions
Gating help in a crisis would be wrong. Steady is free forever, no upgrade needed.
Clean time
Track every hour
you've built.
The Clean tab shows your exact clean time to the second, your current and next milestone, what you've reclaimed - money, hours, health - and a quiet, always-available reset that doesn't punish you for slipping.
Shame-free recovery
A reset is a step,
not a verdict.
Relapse is part of recovery, not the end of it. Harness never calls your clean time a "streak." When you reset, it walks you through a calm debrief (AI-assisted in Pro), logs what happened without judgment, and starts the clock again.
Patterns
See what drives
your cravings.
Log urges, moods and triggers without shame. Over time Harness surfaces the shape underneath - your hardest time of day, your most common trigger, how often you ride it out - so you can prepare instead of react.
Progress
Watch the long game
unfold.
Milestones, badges, a calendar heatmap, money reclaimed as a projection chart. The Climb tab shows what you're building, day by day, at a scale that makes the effort visible and worth continuing.
Why Harness?
Built for recovery,
not for streaks.
Most sobriety apps treat a relapse as failure. Harness treats it as data. It is a recovery tool before it is a counter, which means it stays in your corner whether today is day 1 or day 347.
Built on what works
Urge surfing, grounding, trigger awareness and the shame-free reset are drawn from CBT and SMART Recovery. Not invented, just made available in the moment you need them.
Your data stays with you
Harness holds some of the most personal data you'll ever record. It never leaves your phone. Harness runs without an account and talks to no server at all.

Frequently asked questions
Is the urge tool really always free?
Yes. Steady, the urge tool, is free forever. Gating help in a hard moment would be wrong, so it never goes behind a paywall. No catch.
What vices can I track?
Harness works for alcohol, nicotine, porn, cannabis, sugar, gambling, doomscrolling, or anything else you're trying to quit or cut back. You define your own vice.
Does my data leave my phone?
No. Harness is local-first. Your logs, patterns, and clean time live on your device. No account is required, nothing is sent to a server, and no one at Clearpoint Studios can see your data.
What happens if I relapse?
You tap reset and Harness walks you through a calm, non-judgmental debrief (AI-assisted in Pro). It logs the context without blame, and you start again. A relapse doesn't erase your history - it becomes part of it.
What's included in Pro?
Pro adds the AI layers (urge coach, pattern insights, AI relapse debrief), multi-vice tracking, a custom toolkit editor, the health-recovery timeline, shareable progress cards, and encrypted sync. The core app - including Steady - is free.
Is Harness a substitute for professional support?
No. Harness is a personal tool, not a clinical treatment. If you're dealing with a serious dependency, please also talk to a doctor or a counsellor. Harness is something to have alongside that, not instead of it.
Does Harness work offline?
Yes. Everything runs on your device. The only optional online feature is the AI coach in Pro (which requires a connection to run the model).
How is Harness different from other sobriety apps?
Most sobriety apps are streak counters - they make you feel like a failure when you slip. Harness is built on the opposite premise: relapse is part of recovery, and a tool should support you through it, not punish you for it.
