FAQ
What is Dry Run's approach to alcohol moderation?
Dry Run frames alcohol moderation as a challenge with a finish line, not a lecture. Users set a distance for alcohol-free days, aiming to prove personal control over drinking habits.
What are the different challenge lengths available in Dry Run?
Dry Run offers several challenge lengths, including The Warmup (14 days), The Jog (30 days), The Sprint (90 days), The Half (180 days), and The Ultra (365 days).
Can I track money saved by reducing alcohol consumption with Dry Run?
Yes, Dry Run allows you to input what a week of drinking costs and will then show you how much money stays in your pocket day by day as you complete your challenge.
Does Dry Run offer any social features for motivation?
Yes, Dry Run has a 'Crews' feature where you can run challenges with friends using a shared code. You can see each other's day counts and receive nudges when a crewmate signs their zero.
Is Dry Run suitable for individuals dependent on alcohol?
Dry Run is a challenge, not treatment. If you are dependent on alcohol, stopping suddenly can be dangerous. It is recommended to talk to a doctor first in such cases.
What platforms does Dry Run support?
Dry Run is supported on Apple Watch and iPhone, with six home-screen widgets and watch-face complications available to keep your streak in sight.
How does Dry Run handle user data privacy?
User data for Crews and the public board is opt-in and only shares a first name, city, and day count. The app states it has no ads and nothing is sold.
What are the subscription options for Dry Run Pro?
Dry Run Pro offers a weekly subscription for $4.99/P7D and an annual subscription for $59.99/P1Y, which includes a 3-day free trial.
