Orlyn helps you quit drinking and stay quit. Track a live sober streak, get through cravings the moment they hit, and lean on a 24/7 AI support coach. No shame, no judgment. In Orlyn, the streak is the stake. The only thing you stand to lose is the run of sober days you have built. YOUR STREAK, ALWAYS RUNNING Watch your sober days count up in real time, from day one. Milestones mark your progress, and your lifetime totals are never erased. If you drink, you reset your current streak without losing your recorded lifetime progress. A setback is a data point, not a verdict. GET THROUGH CRAVINGS Most cravings crest and pass. When one hits, one tap opens the craving toolkit, with short guided exercises that carry you through the wave until it breaks. Built for the exact moment your resolve is thinnest. A COACH AT 3 A.M. The Coach is an AI support companion that answers any hour, with zero judgment. Talk through a hard evening, a trigger you did not see coming, or a win you want to mark. You are always told you are talking to an AI. The Coach is not a human, not a therapist, and not medical care. Messages that mention crisis or withdrawal receive fixed safety resources and emergency numbers first, before any AI reply. CLIMB THE LEAGUE Join a small weekly league of people doing exactly what you are doing. Everyone appears under an assigned pseudonym. Nobody sees your name, your reflections, or your conversations. You are ranked only by the sober days you log that week, and you can hide yourself at any time. CHECK IN DAILY Log your mood and craving intensity in seconds, and add a private reflection if you want. Over time, you see your patterns, including when cravings spike, what triggers them, and how far you have come. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Orlyn is available in English, German, Dutch, Polish and Spanish. It follows your iPhone's language, and you can switch in Settings. GROUNDED, NOT GIMMICKY Your plan starts with the AUDIT-C, the three consumption questions from the World Health Organization's AUDIT screening tool, used in Orlyn as a self-reflection prompt, not a diagnosis. Onboarding maps your personal craving triggers and builds your reasons for quitting into the plan you see every day. IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTE Orlyn is a self-help and wellbeing tool. It is not medical care, therapy, or treatment for alcohol use disorder. If you drink heavily every day, stopping abruptly can be medically dangerous, so talk to a doctor before you quit. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. SUBSCRIPTION Orlyn requires an Orlyn Pro subscription to use the app. Two plans unlock the same features. Orlyn Pro Annual is $39.99 per year. If you are eligible, it starts with a 7-day free trial, and the app shows you before you subscribe whether the trial applies to you. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Otherwise $39.99 is charged when the trial ends, and the subscription renews every year. Orlyn Pro Weekly is $9.99 per week, with no free trial, and renews every week. Prices shown are US prices, and the app shows your local price before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. If you allow notifications, Orlyn reminds you 2 days before your free week ends. Orlyn is for adults 18 and over.
