SoberStack is a sobriety tracker built for recovery, not generic habit tracking. Track your days sober, log urges in seconds, and learn what actually triggers your relapses. When an urge hits, capture the intensity, emotion, and situation. Over time, your urge journal reveals patterns so you can get ahead of them. HOW IT WORKS • Create a streak for whatever you're quitting (alcohol, vaping/nicotine, porn, or other compulsive habits) • Watch your sober day counter and contribution graph fill in • Log urges with one tap: rate intensity, pick an emotion, note the trigger • Choose a coping activity when you need it (walk, call a friend, journal, breathe) • Review your urge journal to spot patterns • Set personal goals to remember why you started • View your full streak history: every attempt counts as progress ALSO BUILD POSITIVE HABITS Recovery isn't just about what you cut out. Start a streak for something you want to add — workout, meditation, reading, journaling — and tap once a day to mark it complete. Same contribution graph, same momentum, just pointed forward. BUILT FOR YOU No social feeds, no public profiles, no forced sharing. SoberStack keeps your recovery journey yours. WHY SOBERSTACK Most habit trackers don't account for urges, relapses, or the emotional side of quitting. SoberStack does — and it handles the things you're picking up too. Whether you're on day 1 or day 500, SoberStack helps you stay accountable, understand your triggers, and keep going. Start your first streak today.
