How Regrown stacks up
Most blocker and recovery apps share a similar toolbox: domain blocking, streaks, some daily content. Here's exactly where Regrown differs, feature by feature, and where it doesn't.
| Feature | Regrown | Typical blocker app |
|---|---|---|
| Domain / content-level blocking | Yes | Yes, usually on-device or VPN-based |
| Requires a partner code to disable | Yes | Only a handful of apps in this category |
| Solo-mode cooldown if you have no partner | Yes (48-72hr delay) | Rare - most allow instant toggle-off |
| Check-ins reason over your actual logged data | Yes | Most send generic scripted daily content |
| CBT-informed structured program | Yes | Varies - some are pure blockers, no program |
| Discreet name and icon | Yes | Varies widely |
| Urge logging tied to check-in content | Yes | Rare |
| Free tier available | Yes | Common |
| Screenshot / screen-content scanning | No | Offered by a small number of apps |
Note on screen-content scanning: a few competitors offer this. We're deliberately not launching with it - continuous screen monitoring is a meaningful privacy tradeoff and a much bigger technical undertaking, and we'd rather ship the accountability-lock and AI check-in mechanisms well first.
Blocking alone isn't the differentiator anymore
Most apps in this space can block a domain. The actual product is what happens in the moment someone tries to turn that blocking off, and what the check-in says to them afterward. That's where we spent the effort.
