Sober Tracker: Quit Alcohol is a privacy-first mobile app that tracks your sobriety streak, savings, and mood without requiring an account or cloud sync.
What is Sober Tracker?
Sober Tracker is a sobriety tracker for iOS and Android that lets you record your sober days, log a daily mood journal, and calculate money saved from not drinking. It stores all data on-device — no sign-up, no cloud, no email. The app was built by programmer Ivan Terekhin as a personal recovery tool. Download on the App Store or Get it on Google Play.
Key Features
- Recovery Garden — a visual plant that grows from a seed to a magical tree as your sober days increase; 9 stages unlock automatically (e.g., sprout at 1 day, tree at 1 year).
- 30+ Achievement Badges — time-based milestones (first 24 hours, 90 days, 1 year) plus secret badges like the Phoenix badge earned after a relapse and restart.
- Financial Tracker — enter your weekly alcohol spending; the app shows total saved, breaks it into 5 spending categories, and projects investment growth over 1–10 years with compound interest.
- Mood Journal — record daily feelings, track mood patterns over weeks and months, and identify triggers that affect your journey.
- Coping Toolkit — 11 evidence-based strategies for cravings, including breathing exercises and urge surfing.
- Complete Privacy — no accounts, no cloud; only anonymous usage analytics are collected. Works offline.
Who is it for?
- People in recovery from alcohol dependence — can track streak, reset counter with history kept, and earn special badges like the Phoenix badge for restarting.
- Anyone doing a timed challenge (e.g., Dry January) — set a start date and watch milestones unlock at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 31 days.
- Habit changers tracking sobriety from other substances — the app works for any sobriety goal, not just alcohol.
What can you do with Sober Tracker?
