75 Hard apps and trackers compared: free and paid

30 October 2026

You can track 75 Hard on paper, in a habit app or in an app made for the challenge. They all tick boxes. They differ in three ways that matter: what they cost, which versions they support, and what they do when you miss a day.

That last one matters more than it sounds. One person on the 75 Hard forum summed up the worst case:

“the app will start over before I’m done with my day”

This page compares the main options, as their App Store listings described them in October 2026. Prices and features change, so check the listing before you pay.

What should a 75 Hard tracker do?

Use this as a checklist when you try any app:

All the daily tasks, including two separate workouts and the photo.
Reminders you can set to your own day, not one fixed time.
Progress photos kept in one place, not lost in your camera roll.
A clear day boundary. It should judge a day only after the day ends.
A record of past attempts, so a restart does not wipe your history.
Other versions, if you might switch to 75 Soft or 75 Medium.
Low effort. Ticking a task should take one tap.

That last point is where many apps lose people:

“I tried using workout apps, but most of them felt overwhelming or required too much input.”

The official 75 Hard app

Made by 44 Seven Media, Andy Frisella's company. 75 Hard is Frisella's programme and a trademark.

Cost: the listing says it requires a subscription.
What it does: daily task tracking, reminders, daily progress pictures, notes on each day, your progress from every attempt, and the rest of the year-long "Live Hard" programme after day 75.
Versions: 75 Hard only. That is the point of it.
Best for: people who want the programme exactly as its maker wrote it.

BeHard (75 Days Challenge Tough & Soft)

An independent app from BeHard, Inc.

Cost: free to download. Reminders, insights and an unlimited AI coach need BeHard Pro, listed at $12.99 a month or $39.99 a year.
What it does: daily tracking, motivation, and a way to connect with other people doing the challenge.
Versions: a tough and a soft version, as the name says.
Best for: people who want a free start and a community.

75Me

An independent app built around a custom 75-day reset.

What it does: you build your own daily routine, track workouts and food, take progress photos, and read book summaries.
Versions: your own list, so any version fits.
Best for: people who want to set every rule themselves.

A general habit tracker

Apps like HabitKit show each habit as a grid of tiles. They are clean and simple, and they work for any habit.

Good: fast to tick, nice to look at, works for any version.
Missing: nothing knows the 75 Hard rules. It will not tell you that a missed photo means day one. Photos live elsewhere.
Best for: people who already use one and want everything in one place.

“ive tried making simpler routines, using habit trackers, to-do apps”

If that sounds like you, the tool may not have been the problem. Read how to restart a workout habit before you download another one.

Paper

Cost: free.
Good: visible on the fridge, no notifications, no account, hard to ignore.
Missing: no reminders, not with you at work, no photo log.

We made a free 75 Hard checklist and PDF tracker and a 75 Soft tracker you can print.

Fit75

That is us, so read this one with that in mind.

Cost: a subscription, with a free trial.
Versions: 75 Easy, 75 Medium and 75 Hard built in, or your own list for 75 Soft or anything else.
What it does: tracks each daily task, including the progress picture, and adds workouts made for your level and time, meal logging and an AI coach you can ask at any hour.
The missed day: it judges a day only after midnight on your phone, so it never starts over while you still have time. If a day ends with a task missed, it follows the rule and starts you at day one. It keeps count of your attempts, and it nudges you to restart the same day.
Best for: people who want the plan and the tracker in one place.

Which app tracks the challenge without restarting on me?

Honest answer: on 75 Hard, any app that follows the rules will restart you after a missed task. That is the rule, not the app. What you can ask of an app is fairness: it should wait until your day is over, and it should keep your past attempts. If you want a version where a miss does not mean day one, look at 75 Soft, and set that rule yourself.
