Built an iPhone app because most sober trackers didn’t help me during cravings

A few months ago I kept repeating the same cycle: feel good for a week, track sober days, then hit a craving window and everything would suddenly feel loud and urgent in my head.

Most sober apps motivated me on good days, but didn’t help much in the actual moment of a craving.

So I built Sobrio for myself. Not therapy or medical advice, just a tool I wish I had during those “minute 7” moments.

The main thing is a Panic flow designed for cravings: breathing exercises, a 15–20 minute urge timer, grounding exercises, your own reasons to quit list, calming audio, and an optional one tap accountability call.

I’m posting because I’d genuinely like feedback from people who’ve been through this. Does something like that feel useful, or gimmicky? What’s missing compared to apps like I Am Sober, Nomo, meetings, etc.?

If anyone wants to try it:

I’d appreciate honest feedback.
