Start with today. Log your drinks, mark alcohol-free days, and keep a clearer picture of your habits—without setting up a plan first. Sober Steps is a daily alcohol tracker and private journal for anyone who wants to drink less, explore sober living, or simply understand their drinking patterns. Record a few drinks or none at all, add how you felt, and see your days add up. DAILY RECORDING, FREE • Record today's drink count, including zero • Add or edit past entries in the calendar • Keep a private journal with thoughts and moods • View your history, weekly and monthly trends, and basic progress statistics • Estimate money saved using your usual daily drinks and price per drink • Watch your sunflower grow with every check-in Savings are estimates based only on recorded days. You can change your starting estimates in Settings. A LITTLE SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT Use a full-screen one-minute pause when you feel like drinking. Keep check-ins close with Home Screen widgets and reminders, save encouragement, or reach out to a trusted contact. MORE CLARITY WITH PRO Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Both unlock the same Pro features. Yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple Account settings; access continues for the remaining paid period. Buying lifetime Pro does not cancel an existing yearly subscription. Cancel its renewal separately in the App Store. • Explore six-month and yearly trends with monthly comparisons • View recorded moods alongside drink counts to notice patterns • Create complete progress reports to share as images or PDFs • Unlock eight additional plants alongside the free sunflower, all with five growth stages; switching keeps your progress • Unlock every day of your personalized 30-, 60-, 90- or 120-day plan and weekly reviews Plans are optional and available to create for free inside the app. Try the first seven plan days; day eight onward requires Pro. This plan preview does not start a subscription or charge you. AI is selected by default and asks for consent before sending your answers. If you decline or AI is unavailable, use an on-device plan. Return to daily recording whenever you like. Daily targets are upper limits, not amounts you need to drink. Mood comparisons describe your records; they do not explain the causes of drinking. Daily recording, history, your journal, basic trends and sunflower growth remain free. The purchase screen shows your local price and lets you restore an existing purchase. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Core records are stored locally; iCloud Sync is optional. Apple Health only writes drink counts you choose to save and does not read or import Health data. With your consent, selected planning answers are sent through Cloudflare to DeepSeek. RevenueCat processes purchase information to manage Pro access and purchase analytics; we do not send it your drinking records or journal. See our Privacy Policy for details. Sober Steps is a self-monitoring and behavior-support tool, not medical advice, detox guidance or emergency care. If reducing or stopping alcohol causes concerning symptoms, seek help from a qualified healthcare professional or local emergency service. One small record. A clearer day.
