About

Sobrio

Features
Read full description

Sobrio keeps a ledger of what you drink, smoke or brew — and of the days you did not. Most quit-apps sell you a streak and then take it away the first time you slip. Sobrio keeps books instead. It counts the days of your run, records what you actually had, and shows what it costs you in money, in units and in evenings. THE COUNT One screen: the day of the run, what you have had this week against your target, and the money not spent. Nothing to swipe, nothing to celebrate. THE LEDGER Every pound and every unit, week by week, against your old average. If you are cutting down rather than stopping, the step-down plan is written out in plain numbers: this week four a day, next week three. CAFFEINE, HOUR BY HOUR If you count coffee, Sobrio works out how much is still in your blood at bedtime — and the hour of the last cup that still lets you sleep. Worked from the half-life, nothing more. A SLIP IS NOT THE END Record a slip in one tap. It is undoable for a full day, and nothing resets by accident. The account stands; the run starts again. THREE THINGS A DAY A short lesson, the log, and two minutes of quiet before your hardest hour. Not a plan for your life — three things for today. FREE FOR GOOD The day count, your run and recording what you had are free, and stay free. A subscription opens the Ledger, the caffeine curve, the step-down plan and the evening plan. Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine, counted separately, in one place. Your figures stay on your phone. SUBSCRIPTION Sobrio Premium is available as a weekly or yearly subscription. All plans unlock the same thing - the Ledger, the caffeine curve, the step-down plan and the evening plan - for the chosen period. Payment is charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is switched off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions can be managed and cancelled in your account settings on the App Store after purchase.
