Are these not the things that distinguish this from the other addiction-breaking tools out there? Without these, the basic plan just looks like any other addiction breaker tool/applet thing. What's the purpose of a free plan if the value is in the premium tier?
The reason I kept the free tier basic is that I wanted to create a "Trust Bridge." In a niche like addiction recovery, asking for $9.99 upfront is a huge hurdle because users have a lot of "privacy trauma" from apps that mine their data. By keeping the free tier as a simple, gamified logger, people can verify for themselves that the app actually respects their anonymity before they ever open their wallet.
To answer your question about the differentiation:
No Email Required: This is the big one. I collect zero PII (no name, no phone, no email). You register with just a username. Even if my database leaked, there is nothing there to link a user’s private mental health logs to their real-world identity. I even encrypt sensitive data at the application level as an extra layer of defense.
The "Cold Start" Solution: The free tier acts as the data collector. Recovery often starts with the manual act of just "showing up" and logging. Once a user decides to upgrade, the AI doesn't start from zero—it "wakes up" with all that historical data already available to find patterns that a human might miss.
Sustainability: LLM tokens and vector storage aren't free, and since I refuse to monetize through ads or selling behavioral profiles, the Premium tier is what keeps the lights on. I’d rather be transparent about charging for AI intelligence than have a "free" app that secretly sells your data to gambling networks to pay its API bills.
Essentially, the free tier is a secure safety net for anyone at rock bottom who just needs a private place to track a streak, while Premium is for those ready for active, strategic analysis.
I’m a dev in recovery. When I looked for addiction recovery apps, I realized the user isn’t the customer; their data is the product. Most "free" apps sell behavioral profiles to advertisers (or worse, gambling networks).
I built LiftMind to be an AI strategist and journal that is hostile to surveillance.
The Stack & Privacy Model:
Pseudonymous Intelligence: To provide pattern recognition and addiction-breaking insights, the system does process your journal entries. However, because I collect zero PII (no email, no phone, no name), this data remains completely decoupled from your real-world identity.
Blind Proxy: I use an external LLM for intelligence but treat it as a calculator, not a database. Your prompts are stripped of metadata before being sent. The LLM provider sees a request from my server IP but cannot link it to "You."
No KYC/No PII: You register with just a username and password.
Payment Privacy: I accept Monero (XMR) for those who want payment anonymity to match the auth anonymity. (Standard methods also available).
My goal is to offer "Smart" recovery tools without the "Surveillance Capitalism" business model.
