Every sobriety app counts days. Only Sobriety Score shows you how recovery is healing your body - with real health data from your iPhone, AI-powered reflections that never leave your device, and zero subscriptions. Your recovery is more than a number on a counter. It's your sleep getting deeper. Your heart rate calming down. Your energy coming back. Sobriety Score connects to Apple Health to track the physical proof that sobriety is working - so on the hard days, you can see exactly how far you've come. SOBRIETY STREAK & MULTI-HABIT TRACKER Track days sober across alcohol, substances, or any habit you're breaking. Beautiful home screen widget shows your streak on your lock screen and Dynamic Island - a constant, private reminder of your progress. No paywall on the widget. HEALTHKIT RECOVERY DASHBOARD See how your body is healing in real time. Sobriety Score reads sleep quality, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and activity data from Apple Health - then shows you clear trends: "Your sleep improved 23% since day 30." No other sobriety app does this. ON-DEVICE AI REFLECTION PARTNER A private journaling companion powered by on-device AI. It asks thoughtful reflection questions, celebrates your milestones, and never judges. Every word stays on your phone - your recovery story is yours alone. If you're in crisis, it connects you to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately. CRAVINGS TOOLKIT When a craving hits, open the toolkit. Log it with one tap (or say "Hey Siri, log a craving"), see how long cravings typically last, and get grounding exercises to ride it out. Over time, watch your craving frequency drop on your personal trend chart. MILESTONES & SAVINGS CALCULATOR Celebrate 24 hours, 1 week, 30 days, 1 year - every milestone matters. See exactly how much money and time you've saved by staying sober. Share milestone cards with your sponsor or support network. SIRI SHORTCUTS & QUICK ACTIONS "Hey Siri, log a craving" or "Hey Siri, how many days sober?" - hands-free access when you need it most. Long-press the app icon for quick actions to your daily pledge and journal.

Garden

Garden turns staying sober into something you can see. Every day you check in, a flower grows. Over weeks and months those days become a garden you can look at: quiet proof of what you've done. Garden needs a Garden Plus subscription. Start with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. HOW IT WORKS Pick the habit you want to leave behind and answer a few questions about your reasons. You get a plan that starts from your own answers. Then check in each day; it takes seconds. A flower is planted, your counter keeps climbing, and the garden fills in. WHAT'S INSIDE • A living garden: one flower for every day you check in, from 10 painted species • Sober counter: days, hours and minutes since you started • Daily check-in: mark the day, and add how you felt if you want to • Calendar: every day laid out; tap one to see its flower and your mood • 30 milestones: from your first day to ten years, each one celebrated • Petals: collect one for every hour you show up, and fill your jar • Money saved: what you're keeping, by week, month and year • A daily reflection to carry with you • Hope: an AI companion to talk to when cravings hit • Your journey: correct your start date, or begin a new streak when you need to. Your garden, check-ins and milestones stay NEED HELP NOW? The "Need help now?" button never needs a subscription. It opens crisis lines for your region, or a directory to find one, and a short breathing exercise that may help you get through a craving. It is free for everyone. HABITS YOU CAN TRACK Alcohol · Tobacco · Vaping · Sugar · Caffeine · Social Media · Gambling and more: 40 habits, each with the same counter, garden and milestones. HONEST ABOUT HARD DAYS Relapsed? Say so. That day plants nothing, but your garden keeps every flower you already grew and your milestones stay yours. When you're ready, begin a new streak. Recovery isn't a clean line, and this app doesn't pretend otherwise. YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-up. No email address. Your answers, check-ins, moods and garden are saved on your phone. When you message Hope, that conversation is sent to our AI provider to write a reply. The app also shares anonymous usage statistics to help us improve it. Details are in the Privacy Policy. Available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Garden is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition. Talk to a doctor or other health professional for medical advice, and before stopping alcohol or other substances, because stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Garden is not an emergency service. GARDEN PLUS Garden Plus subscription required after a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. The free trial is for eligible new subscribers, and the monthly plan has no free trial. Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. The help button and crisis lines are free for everyone, with no subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Garden at weekly against Sobriety Score's every 3 weeks. Garden also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
