RESOLVE: Quit **** Forever
A small team or single capable developer can implement a useful self-hosted replacement in about a week; open-source habit trackers exist that cover the core, so paying is optional depending on polish and integrations.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All RESOLVE: Quit **** Forever alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- Track attempts, record slips, show progress and streaks, remind the user, and surface simple analytics
What it still won’t have
- Commercial polish and UX refinements
- Brand recognition and any paid community/support
- Proprietary analytics or content (if any)
- Cross-platform native apps unless separately implemented
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted habit/quitting tracker as a web app using Node.js (Express), Postgres, and React. Core features in scope: email/passwordless auth, create/edit/delete targets, daily check-ins, progress computation (streaks, success rate), reminders via a scheduler + email (SendGrid or similar), responsive UI, and a simple analytics dashboard. Out of scope: native mobile apps, payments, social features. Include error handling, input validation, unit tests for API endpoints, and a Docker Compose setup for local development and a short README for deploy steps.
How we checked
How the score was reached
- Build verdict base78
- An open-source build was found+5
- 3 cited sources+3
- 3/3 assessment runs agreed+4
- Evidence score90
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
