## What is Dry Run?

Dry Run isn't a sobriety app. It's The Drinking Moderation App™ — a challenge with a finish line, not a lecture. You're not quitting forever. You're proving you're the one in charge.

Pick your distance — two weeks to a full year — sign every zero-drink day on your honor, and decide from strength what drinking looks like after.

PICK YOUR DISTANCE
• The Warmup — 14 days
• The Jog — 30 days
• The Sprint — 90 days
• The Half — 180 days
• The Ultra — 365 days

Finish one and roll straight into the next — same streak, same start date.

SIGN EVERY ZERO
Each day at zero, you sign it. Your word, your signature, on the record. Miss a few days? Catch up in one tap.

RACE MEDALS AND AWARDS
Collect day badges along the way, hang a medal for every finish line you cross — run a distance twice and wear the ×2 — and unlock action awards for recruiting friends, squadding up, and racing in public.

CREWS
Run it with friends. One 6-character code, everyone in. See each other's day counts and get a nudge when a crewmate signs their zero.

DRINKS
Explore 80+ non-alcoholic beers, wines, and spirits. Track what you've tried, rate in half-star steps, discover community favorites, and add missing drinks to your private shelf.

THE BOARD
Opt onto the public leaderboard — just a first name, city, and day count. The first 100 runners become Founding Runners, with the badge on their name forever.

WATCH THE MONEY STACK
Tell us what a week of drinking costs and watch what stays in your pocket, day by day.

WIDGETS + APPLE WATCH
Six home-screen widgets and watch-face complications keep your streak in sight.

Start with 3 days free on weekly or annual plans. Real stakes, your name on the line — that's the point. A challenge you pay to enter is a challenge you finish.

Dry Run is a challenge, not treatment. If you're dependent on alcohol, stopping suddenly can be dangerous — talk to a doctor first.

Your run and personal drink shelf live on your device. Crews, the board, community ratings, and catalog suggestions are optional iCloud features. Photos upload only when you explicitly submit a drink suggestion. No ads. Nothing sold.
