About Hard Road: Daily Virtues
Nine disciplines. One rule of life. The whole man. Hard Road is a Catholic rule of life for men, kept daily: the Liturgy of the Hours, the day's Mass readings and saint, the iron, the fast, an honest Examen, and a brotherhood that holds you to it. Everything a man needs to pray is free, forever. No man pays to pray. THE LAST 100 DAYS — September 23 to December 31. One hundred days, five feasts, and a grid that shows what you kept. Finish the year a different man. ONE RULE OF LIFE Nine daily disciplines across body, mind, soul, and the men around you: Arise, Pray, Consume, Examen, Build, Nourish, Work, Love, Leisure. Keep them all for a Perfect Day, or take Gentle Start and build the Rule over two weeks. Mercy is built in: a missed day is a Begin Again, never a reset. THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS, COMPLETE The full breviary in your pocket. Every hour from the Office of Readings to Compline, the four-week psalter in the Douay-Rheims, 577 readings from the Fathers, proper offices for solemnities and feasts, Marian antiphons by season, and the Te Deum where the Church sings it. Free. THE DAY'S MASS AND THE DAY'S SAINT The complete lectionary, Sunday and weekday cycles, with a factual life of the saint on his day, the Rosary with the day's mysteries, and a Scripture plan that walks the whole story of salvation in 90, 180, or 365 days. THE IRON Workout templates and programs including the Rule of Iron, a library of lifts, live set logging with RPE and rest timers, personal records, running with pace zones and interval rest, and share cards for the work you offered up. THE FAST Nutrition tracking that knows the Church calendar: the screen turns from Fuel to Fast on fast days. Barcode scanning, USDA and Open Food Facts search, macro presets, TDEE. THE EXAMEN A nightly Ignatian examination of conscience, a Deep Examen for the falls that repeat, a Confession guide, and the pattern of your struggle over time. THE BROTHERHOOD Small groups of men who check in on each other: a weekly pulse, group challenges, an accountability anchor, a patron saint. Open to Brotherhood puts you with men who are looking too. THE MEASURE Virtue Points, levels from Pilgrim to Crusader, ascetic challenges, and weekly, monthly, and seasonal reviews that tell the truth about the last stretch of road. FREE AND PREMIUM Prayer, Scripture, the Hours, the Examen, the saints, and daily discipline tracking are free and will always be free. Hard Road Premium unlocks the full utility stack: workout logging, templates and programs, nutrition, the running belt, insights and long reviews. $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial on the annual.

What’s new
Version 4.0.0 · Updated September 26, 2026
HardRoad 4.0: one Rule, made simpler. We went through every screen and cut what was doubled or confusing. The prayer is all still here, and all still free. • Pray gains Discern: tonight's Examen, Confession, your Rule and the Toolkit in one place. The Examen now opens with "How was the day before God?" • Word replaces Consume: Scripture and spiritual reading (the saints, the Fathers, a good book) keep it. • My Intentions: one list, offered to your Hours, Rosary and workouts. • One streak, with Grace. Good days in a row. One missed day a week is covered on its own. No freezes to manage. • Progress is free and clear; Insights holds the deep numbers. • One Challenges screen: yours, the season's walk, your Brotherhood's. • Calmer reminders: one Morning Bell, one evening bell, Compline or the Examen, and a Sunday Week in Review. Never more than 3 nudges a day. • Read without clutter: the top bar slides away as you pray the Hours and read Scripture. • Settings in six clear sections, one Units switch, and your latest weigh-in is your weight. • The Brothers tab is free.
