Alcura
Read full descriptionHide full description
Alcura is an alcohol diary built for The Sinclair Method (TSM). It helps you log what you drink, record when you took your naltrexone relative to your first drink, and see how your consumption changes over the months. Whether you are starting out or years in, the tools stay simple enough to use mid-session. Key Features: • Log a drinking session as it happens, drink by drink • Live Activities, so logging a drink takes one tap from the Lock Screen • Record naltrexone and other medication timing relative to your drinks • See your progress in trends and graphs, including drinks per session and units over time • Track what you spend on alcohol, and what you save as that falls • Generate a PDF report to bring to your doctor or coach • Optional iCloud sync across your own devices, off by default • Sleep insight from Apple Health, read only and with your permission • Fully available in English and Dutch Alcura Plus The diary, sessions, medication logging and recent history are free. Alcura Plus adds unlimited history, the full set of insights including sleep and savings, and PDF export for your doctor. Monthly and yearly options are available in the app. Privacy Your diary stays yours. Every drink, session, medication, reason and note lives on your device, and in your own iCloud account if you turn sync on. We never receive it, and it is never sold or shared. The app reports anonymous usage statistics to us, such as installs and which screens are used, so we can tell whether an update broke something. Those statistics never include anything you log. Disclaimer Alcura is a tracking tool for personal use. It makes no medical claims and is not a substitute for professional care. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on The Sinclair Method, naltrexone, or alcohol use.
