Clear Days is a drink tracker and sober day counter for people who want to cut back, quit drinking, or stay alcohol free without shame. Whether you're drinking less, starting over, doing Dry January, or building long-term sobriety, this app helps you track progress in a kinder way. PROGRESS, NOT PUNISHMENT Most sobriety apps treat one slip like everything is gone. We don't. If you stayed sober 25 out of 28 days, that's 89% progress. Clear Days shows what you've built, not just what you broke. A DRINK TRACKER THAT FEELS HUMAN Track sober days, alcohol-free days, and daily progress with a simple calendar, quick stats, money saved, and check-ins that take seconds. No forced journaling. No lectures. No shame spiral. HELP WHEN CRAVINGS HIT Tap "I'm struggling" for immediate support: • Guided breathing • Your personal reasons for staying sober • A 15-minute timer to ride out the urge • One-tap access to your support person or crisis hotlines BUILT FOR QUITTING OR CUTTING BACK Whether your goal is no alcohol, fewer drinking days, or a full quit drinking journey, the app meets you where you are. Slip days are shown in gray as data to learn from, not punishment. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync requirement, no selling your data. Export your information anytime. FREE FOREVER CORE The core tracker is free forever, including: • Daily check-ins • Progress calendar • Sober day stats and money saved • Reminder notifications • Home screen widgets • Cravings support tools CLEAR DAYS+ If you want deeper reflection tools, Clear Days+ adds: • Journal history so you can revisit every note you've written • Insights to spot patterns in triggers, cravings, and difficult days • Shareable PDF progress reports for therapists, sponsors, or personal records Built with care by someone who gets it.
