## What is Not Beaten?

One day at a time.

Not Beaten is a gentle companion for staying sober. Somewhere to turn when
an urge hits, count the days, and be kind to yourself on the hard ones.
No judgment, no accounts, no pressure. Just the next honest day.

WHEN AN URGE HITS
Urges work like waves: they build, they peak, and they pass. Open Not Beaten
and ride it out. A quiet timer counts up rather than down. There's no
minimum, nothing to fail, and every second already counts. Rate how strong
it is before and after, and watch it come back down.

YOUR OWN PLAN
Write it while you're steady: what sets you off, the early signs, what
actually helps, the people you can call, and why you started. When it's
hard, Not Beaten shows you your own words instead of ours, and your people
are one tap away.

THE DAY COUNTER
Your sober days, counted with care. Milestones from your very first day
through ten years, and badges that are yours to keep. A setback never takes a
badge away.

OR A SET STRETCH
Counting a month rather than counting from here on? Point the counter at a
finish line instead, for as long as you like. Reaching it ends nothing: your
days carry straight on whether you stop there or keep going, and a hard day
never fails it. The count just starts again.

WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS YOU
Every urge you ride out, you note how strong it was and what you reached for.
Insights reads that back: how far the wave usually falls, how long yours take,
and which of hungry, angry, lonely and tired keeps turning up. One tap puts any
of it into your plan. Nothing is claimed until there's enough of it to be
honest about.

WHAT YOU'VE KEPT
Tell it roughly what a week used to cost, and see what the days add up to.
Entirely optional, and invisible if you'd rather not think about money.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A short, kind affirmation each day, written for recovery. Tap for another
whenever you need one.

THREE GRATITUDES
A tiny daily practice. Three small true things, with gentle prompts for
the days you're drawing a blank.

HOW YOU'RE FEELING
A private space to write the feelings you're carrying. Hard, messy,
hopeful: it all belongs here.

A HARD DAY
Log a setback with compassion, never shame. You start fresh the same day,
whenever you're ready, and logging one is always one tap away, without
being walked through anything first.

INSIGHTS
Your own history, read back to you. The total days you've counted never
reset, even when the counter does.

ENCOURAGING NOTES
Gentle affirmations delivered at the times you choose. Up to six a day.

SUPPORT
Your plan, plus free crisis and recovery help one tap away, including the
SAMHSA national helpline and the 988 Lifeline.

YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything you write stays on your device.

NOT BEATEN PLUS
Not Beaten is free. The urge timer, your plan, the day counter, journal,
affirmations, insights, share cards and support all cost nothing, forever.
Not Beaten Plus is a one-time purchase (never a subscription) that adds extra
themes and dark mode, your own written affirmations, journal PDF export, and
deeper insights.

Not Beaten is a self-care and reflection tool. It is not a substitute for
professional treatment or medical care. If a day feels bigger than the app,
free support is always one tap away in Support.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-05

Some of this is new, and some of it is us handing back things you'd already
written down.

WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS YOU
Every time you ride out an urge, you tell us how strong it was, what you
reached for, and how you were feeling. Until now that just sat there. Insights
now reads it back: how far the wave usually falls, how long yours tend to take,
and which of the four (hungry, angry, lonely, tired) keeps turning up. Anything
in there can go straight into your plan with one tap.

We wait until there's enough to be honest about. A number made up from two
sessions would be a guess wearing a chart's clothes.

A SET STRETCH, IF YOU WANT ONE
Some people are counting a month rather than counting from here on. You can now
point the counter at a finish line and take it away again whenever you like.
Reaching it doesn't end anything: your day count carries straight on, whether
you stop there or keep going. A hard day never fails it either. The count just
starts again.

WHAT YOU'VE KEPT
Tell us roughly what a week used to cost and Insights will show what the days
add up to. Optional, and if you'd rather not think about money it never appears.

SHARE CARDS ARE FREE NOW
Your day count and your milestone cards were part of Plus. They shouldn't have
been. The number is yours and the milestone is something you did, so saying it
out loud shouldn't cost anything.

Plus is still there for themes and dark mode, your own written affirmations,
journal export and deeper insights.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-27

When an urge hits, you can ride it out here.

RIDE IT OUT
A quiet timer that counts up, not down, because there's no minimum and
nothing to fall short of. Rate how strong it is before and after, and see
for yourself that it passed.

YOUR PLAN
Write down what sets you off, what actually helps, and who you can call,
all while you're steady. When it's hard, Not Beaten hands your own words back
to you instead of ours.

BADGES FROM DAY ONE
Milestones now start at day one and run through ten years. If you'd already
earned the new ones, we've gone back and given them to you, dated when you
actually reached them.

Also: a fix for a note field that was hard to read on the dark themes.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-21

No release notes.
