## What is Sober Living Companion?

Sober Living Companion is a secure, supportive app built for sober living homes and the people in them — a program of Empower Next Project, a non-profit. It gives operators the tools to run their homes and gives residents the support to stay accountable in early recovery. Residents always use the app for free.

PRIVACY & SECURITY
Your information is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access — residents control their own accounts, and staff see only what they need to support their home.

A NON-PROFIT MISSION
Sober Living Companion is built by Empower Next Project. A portion of what we raise helps fund residents in early recovery who are struggling to make ends meet — so they can focus on staying sober.

Membership fees and any payments are made directly between residents and their sober living home through third-party services; the app simply records and displays payment status.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.48 — 2026-08-29

Fixes and improvements for house operators:

• Discharging a resident works again. You can now record an outcome and
  notes, and discharges automatically count toward your outcome and
  retention reports.

• Membership fees now always show the current amount. Previously a
  resident's profile could display an out-of-date fee, or briefly show a
  blank one right after opening.

• Fixed a rare issue where a membership fee could be cleared
  unintentionally while a profile was still loading.

• If something can't be saved, the app now tells you instead of failing
  quietly.

• Membership fee amounts are checked before saving, so a typo can't be
  stored as a charge. Leaving the field blank still means "no fee."

• Improved accuracy of weekly billing dates around daylight saving time.

• The app version now appears in Settings, which makes support questions
  easier to answer.

### 1.1.46 — 2026-08-27
