Changing your relationship with alcohol starts with understanding where you are today — and deciding where you want to go next. Sober is a simple, motivating space for anyone who wants to quit drinking, take a break from alcohol, or make a meaningful change in their drinking habits. Whether you're starting your first alcohol-free day or you've already been sober for months, Sober helps you stay focused on your journey and see your progress along the way. SEE HOW FAR YOU'VE COME Your journey is made up of individual days. Sober turns those days into something you can see, follow, and celebrate. Keep track of your current streak, your longest streak, alcohol-free days, and other personal milestones. Your dashboard gives you a clear picture of your journey without making it complicated. Every day adds to your story. SET A GOAL THAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU There isn't one way to change your drinking habits. Maybe you're ready to stop drinking completely. Maybe you want to take a break and see how you feel. Or perhaps you simply want to drink less and become more aware of your habits. Set your own goal and take the journey at your own pace. Start with a few days. Work toward a month. Aim for 90 days. Or make alcohol-free living your long-term goal. The important thing is that the goal belongs to you. UNDERSTAND YOUR DRINKING HABITS Sometimes change begins with awareness. Sober lets you record your drinking and look back at your history over time. Instead of relying on memory, you can see your habits and progress in one place. Review your statistics, follow changes in your behavior, and build a better understanding of your relationship with alcohol. MEET QUIQQO Your journey has a companion. Quiqqo is a character that witnesses your progress and grows alongside you. As you continue your journey, Quiqqo evolves too — giving your progress a visual identity that changes over time. It's a small reminder that you're not standing still. You're changing. GROW TOGETHER Your journey may be personal, but you don't always have to do it alone. Connect with friends, share your progress, and take part in monthly leaderboards. See how you're doing, celebrate achievements, and use a little friendly competition to keep yourself moving forward. The goal isn't to compete with someone else's journey. It's to keep showing up for yours. KEEP YOUR PROGRESS CLOSE With Home Screen widgets, your progress can stay visible throughout your day. A quick glance can remind you how many days you've completed and how far you've already come — without even opening the app. CELEBRATE THE MILESTONES One day. One week. One month. Three months. Every milestone means something different to every person. Sober gives you a place to recognize those moments and look back at the progress you've made. Your longest streak. Your biggest challenge. The money you've saved. The days you've spent alcohol-free. They're all part of the same journey. START WITH TODAY You don't need to have everything figured out. You don't need to know exactly how long your journey will be. You only need to decide what you want today to look like. Set your goal. Track your progress. Take on a challenge. Learn from your habits. Celebrate your milestones. And tomorrow, do it again. Sober is here to help you make your progress visible — and make every alcohol-free day count. Sober includes: Personal sober day and streak tracking Drinking history and statistics Alcohol-free progress tracking Money saved and drinks avoided Personal goals and milestones Sober challenges and long-term goals Dry January, Dry July and Dry September challenges Monthly leaderboards Friends and social accountability Home Screen widgets Historical progress Quiqqo character evolution Your journey doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to keep moving forward. Start today. https://sober.wargora.com/privacy https://sober.wargora.com/terms https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
