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.
