About
2026 Swift Student Challenge Winner
Rana is a private tool that meets you in the moment — the quiet ones and the hard ones. It's built for people cutting back or quitting alcohol and other substances, and for the people who love them. Everything happens on your iPhone. Nothing ever leaves it.
Rana is a supportive tool, not a substitute for professional treatment or emergency care. In a crisis, call your local emergency number.
WHY RANA
• Private and fully on-device — your journal, check-ins, and locations stay on your phone. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected," because there's nothing to collect.
• Built on real recovery science — harm reduction, DBT and CBT tools, not slogans.
• Swift Student Challenge 2026 Winner — designed and built end to end by one student developer.
EVERY DAY COUNTS
A live sobriety counter, down to the second, and 20 Liquid-Glass milestone badges that arrive on their own. Slip-ups are met with honesty, not shame — your streak bends, it doesn't break.
YOUR WHY, ALWAYS CLOSE
Keep the photos and words that remind you who this is for. On-device Apple Intelligence reflects your reason back in fresh words each day — privately.
SUPPORT THAT FINDS YOU FIRST
Opt in, and Rana gently reaches you when you linger near a bar or liquor store, or late at night somewhere unfamiliar — with the motivations you saved yourself. No judgement. Locations are processed on-device, stored coarsely, and never shared. Off by default, always yours to control.
TOOLS FOR THE HEAVY MOMENTS
Guided SOBER breathing, urge surfing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, playing the tape forward, and a full DBT/CBT tool library — one tap from Home, with custom pacers. A step-by-step naloxone (Narcan) guide is always within reach, including through Siri. Crisis detection keeps helplines one tap away.
A JOURNAL THAT LISTENS
Daily check-ins in seconds — mood, cravings, and HALT. An on-device AI journal reflects the feelings in your words, and clear charts show how far you've come.
SEE WHAT IMPAIRMENT COSTS — SAFELY
For education, not thrills. A real 3D night-driving simulator lets you feel your reaction time stretch as impairment rises, then replays a crash in slow motion against the sober driver who would have stopped — with the real Canadian charges and consequences that follow. A camera-based substance-vision simulator shows how alcohol, cannabis, and LSD distort perception. Built as harm-reduction education and used in real student outreach with Peel Regional Police.
FOR THE PEOPLE BESIDE THEM
Supporter mode is a full second experience for parents and partners: help-or-enable guidance for hard moments, CRAFT-informed training, and private notes — so loved ones can understand, not just worry.
SIX LANGUAGES
English, Punjabi, Canadian French, Mexican Spanish, Italian, and Hindi.
PRIVACY, FOR REAL
No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Your story stays on your iPhone. Period.
Rana is a supportive tool, not a replacement for professional care. If you're in crisis, please reach out — Rana keeps helplines one tap away.
