About
Sober Thoughts is a recovery companion for your home screen. No streaks. No shame. No ads. No tracking. Just one thoughtful quote a day, on the screen you already look at every minute.
THREE PATHS. YOU CHOOSE.
Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. Pick the voice that actually speaks to you:
• Faith & Program — AA, NA, and spiritual recovery traditions
• Mindful & Open — Secular mindfulness and personal reflection
• Science & Self — Evidence-based cognitive behavioral approaches
Change it any time. Mix them if you want. We don't assume a default.
WIDGET-FIRST, NOT APP-FIRST.
Open your phone. See a quote. Keep going.
Sober Thoughts was built around iOS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets because we believe the best recovery tool is
the one that meets you where you already are — not another app fighting for your attention. Pin a quote to any widget
size. It rotates gently throughout the day.
CURATED. HONEST. EDITORIAL.
Over 1,700 quotes reviewed and organized by emotional state — Hope, Strength, Grief & Loss, Letting Go, and more.
Every source is honored. Nothing AI-generated. Nothing recycled from a cheap quote database.
MADE TO BE YOURS.
Dozens of wallpapers. Theme and font controls. Customize your widget until it feels like something you actually want
to see.
PRIVACY THAT MEANS SOMETHING.
• No analytics or tracking
• No ads, ever
• No account or login required
• Your sobriety date stays on your iPhone
• No iCloud sync in V1 — your choice
We don't know who you are. We don't want to. That's the point.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• 1,770+ curated quotes across three modes
• Daily rotating home screen and lock screen widgets
• Explore by emotional state or topic
• Day counter (optional — turn it off whenever)
• Dozens of nature-inspired wallpapers
• Share any quote as a card to Instagram, iMessage, or Stories
• Offline-first. Works without signal.
WHO IT'S FOR
People in early recovery. People with years under their belt. People who've never touched a program but want a
quieter, more honest mental health tool. Anyone who wants a daily moment of reflection without being gamified into it.
A NOTE ON SUBSCRIPTIONS
Sober Thoughts offers an optional Pro subscription that unlocks the full quote library, additional wallpapers, and
theme customization. The core daily widget experience is free and will stay free. You'll never see an ad — paid or
otherwise.
Recovery deserves better than a streak counter. Progress, not perfection.

What's New in Sober Thoughts
1.0.2
July 5, 2026
This update fixes a few things you told us abouts: - Your daily thought now changes every day instead of repeating the same message. - Fixed a bug that sometimes sent the daily notification twice. - The home screen widget now updates to the new day's quote on its own, even before you open the app.
