Alcura vs Extinct

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.

The Sinclair Method works. Extinct helps you prove it. Extinct is the dedicated companion app for adults following The Sinclair Method — using naltrexone or nalmefene taken before drinking to gradually extinguish the craving for alcohol. Built by someone who has lived the TSM journey. No judgment. No abstinence pressure. Just the tools to see it through. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Naltrexone requires a prescription. Never take it if physically dependent on opiates. Extinct supports your journey — it does not replace your doctor or prescriber. THE GOLDEN RULE — ALWAYS FREE The most important feature in the app. Never paywalled. Set your medication type (naltrexone: 1 hour wait, nalmefene: 2 hours) and Extinct walks you through the full planning flow — medication reminder, countdown timer, and confirmation before your first drink. The Golden Rule is everything in TSM and Extinct makes sure you never forget it.

Cloud sync via Firebase when signed in. AI features transmit only your session inputs — no name, email, or device ID. Never used for model training per Anthropic's enterprise terms. The Sinclair Method has a 78% efficacy rate across more than 90 clinical trials. It is the standard of care for alcohol use disorder in several European countries. Extinct exists to help you see it through. Not medical advice. Naltrexone requires a prescription. If you are in crisis please call 988 or SAMHSA at 1-800-662-4357.
