Free sober tracker — your data stays on your phone

Free sober tracker — your data stays on your phone

I built this because every sober tracker I tried felt like a recovery app — Day 1 badges, chips, relapse language. I wasn't in recovery; I'd just hit my thirties and hangovers started costing me entire weekends. I wanted something that counts alcohol-free days and shows what you get back, without treating you like you're in a program.

What it does:

  • Forgiving model — days are alcohol-free by default; you only ever log the days you drank. Forgetting to open the app can't break a streak, and a slip resets your current run but never your best streak or totals.
  • Day counter with best streak, total alcohol-free days, money saved, and hours not spent hungover
  • Your own reasons, shown back to you at milestones and on hard nights
  • "Talk me out of it" — a 90-second pause for the moment before you cave
  • Year-at-a-glance calendar, journal, mood trends, sourced health timeline
  • Home-screen widgets (day count + year grid) that match your in-app theme

Why try it over the big ones: it's private by design — no account, no sign-up, works fully offline, data never leaves your phone. No ads. The counter and all core features are free forever; a one-time unlock (price up front, no trial-to-subscription tricks) covers themes and insights, which is how it stays ad-free.

Feedback I'm looking for: it launched on Play about a week ago, so I'd especially value (1) whether the onboarding felt clear or preachy, (2) whether the widgets render/refresh correctly on your device and Android version, and (3) any copy that accidentally sounds like recovery-speak — the whole point is that it shouldn't.

Stack, for the curious: Capacitor + vanilla JS, local-first, native Java widgets. Happy to answer anything.
