Kern is a sobriety counter for people who want a quiet one. No community feed. No daily streak guilt. No ads. No account. No data collected. Just your day count — on your home screen, in a small widget, in a calm app. Open Kern, see your number. Close it. Live your day. Built around what matters • Your day count on the Lock Screen — a ring, a panel, or one line above the clock • A home-screen widget that fits next to your weather and calendar • A clean hero number that grows with each sober day • Milestones from day 1 to 1000 — marked, not celebrated loudly • Start over honestly: log the day it actually happened, and undo a mis-tap • Personal best preserved across resets — relapse doesn't erase your record • Optional money-not-spent, off unless you turn it on • Editable habit label (alcohol-free by default — make it smoke-free, or anything) Counting more than one thing Plenty of people are quitting two things at once. Kern is free for your one thing, forever. Keeping more than one is a single purchase — no subscription, nothing that renews. • As many counts as you need, each with its own name, start date and milestones • Swipe on the main screen to move between them — one number at a time, still • A widget showing every count at once, or a small one showing whichever you pick • Each count gets its own reminders, named, so you know which one reached the day Your existing count and everything around it — every widget, milestones, personal best, starting over, editing your own dates — stay free. Nothing you already have moves behind the purchase. Built for privacy Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no data collected — including when you buy. Apple handles the payment; we never see it. Not a replacement for support Kern is a counter, not a clinical tool. If you're in crisis, the SAMHSA National Helpline is free and confidential: 1-800-662-4357. Outside the US, find a helpline at findahelpline.com. One day at a time.
