Simple Sobriety Tracker does one thing, and does it beautifully: it counts the time you've stayed sober and celebrates how far you've come. Set your sobriety date and your milestone coin appears — a polished 3D medallion you can spin with a flick of your finger or a tilt of your phone. As your clean time grows, your coin earns new milestones: 24 hours, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, a year, and every year after that, all the way to a century. Recovery is often more than one thing. You can keep a separate count and coin for each — alcohol, nicotine, gambling, screens, or anything you're counting — and see them together in one place. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No clutter. Just your count, your coin, and a quiet reminder to keep going — one day at a time. FEATURES • Day-by-day counter from any start date and time • A beautiful 3D milestone medallion you can spin and tip in your hand • Recovery milestones from 24 hours through 100 years, marked in classic Roman numerals • An encouraging saying for every milestone you reach • Track more than one date, each with its own coin, milestones and reminders • Optional reminders when you reach a milestone • Share your coin as a picture — your tracker's name is never included unless you choose • Apple Watch app — your count and coin on your wrist • Home Screen widget — your progress at a glance, no app to open • Haptic feedback that makes every spin feel real • Available in English and Hebrew • Completely private — everything stays on your device PRICING The app is free, with no ads and no subscription. One tracker is free forever. If you want to track more than one date, unlimited trackers are a single one-time purchase — and your dates are never deleted, even if the unlock goes away. BUILT FOR THE LONG ROAD Whether you're on your first 24 hours or your fifteenth year, Simple Sobriety Tracker keeps your milestone close. Glance at your watch, check the widget, or open the app and spin your coin when you need a reminder of what you're protecting. Keep coming back. It works if you work it. Simple Sobriety Tracker is a personal tracking tool. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, treatment, or a recovery program. If you are struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional or a support group.

Verdict

Meeting Guide's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 1) and chart position (#194 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
