All your data is stored locally on your device only. We don't collect, store, or have access to any of your personal information. There are no user accounts, no cloud sync, and no analytics tracking. Your recovery journey remains completely private.
How do I reset my streak if I relapse?
Go to Settings in the app and select "Reset Progress." This will reset your current streak while preserving your best streak record. Remember, relapse can be part of recovery - what matters is getting back on track.
What is the Craving Defender feature?
Craving Defender is an emergency tool for when you're experiencing gambling urges. It offers immediate coping strategies including breathing exercises, urge surfing timer, grounding techniques, motivational reminders, and distraction games to help you ride out the craving.
How are savings calculated?
Savings are calculated based on the weekly gambling amount you entered during setup. The app multiplies your daily savings (weekly amount ÷ 7) by the number of days in your streak. You can update your weekly amount in Settings at any time.
What is a Reality Check?
Reality Checks are periodic assessments that help you evaluate your relationship with gambling and identify potential risk factors. The app will prompt you weekly, but you can take a check anytime. Your responses generate a risk score to help track your progress.
Can I export my data?
Yes! Go to Settings and select "Export Your Data." This creates a text file with your recovery data that you can save or share. This is useful for keeping personal records or sharing progress with a counselor or support group.
What happens to my data if I delete the app?
All data is permanently deleted when you uninstall the app. Since we don't store any data on servers, it cannot be recovered. We recommend exporting your data before uninstalling if you want to keep a record of your progress.
Is the app a replacement for professional help?
No. Bounty Hunter is a self-help tool designed to support your recovery journey, but it's not a substitute for professional medical or psychological treatment. We strongly encourage seeking help from qualified healthcare providers, counselors, or support groups for comprehensive treatment.
How do milestones work?
Milestones are automatically awarded when you reach specific streak days: 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Each milestone celebrates your progress and provides additional motivation to continue your recovery journey.
Why do I need to check in daily?
Daily check-ins help maintain accountability and mindfulness about your recovery. It's a moment to acknowledge your progress and recommit to staying gambling-free. The app will remind you when a check-in is needed.
