The Dry is a calm, considered tracker for anyone choosing not to drink — for a day, a month, or for good. Open the app and your day count is the first thing you see. Big, quiet, on a deep navy dawn. A motivational message greets you each launch — never the same one twice in a row, never preachy. The hardest part of staying dry is not the day. It's the moment. The Dry meets you in that moment with one simple page. — A massive day counter that updates the moment midnight passes — A new motivational quote on every launch, drawn from a curated set — Milestone achievements at 1, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180, 365, and 730 days — Game Center leaderboard for your best streak ever — Challenge friends to beat your streak — privately, through Game Center — Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets so your streak is always visible — Optional daily reminder at a time you choose — a gentle nudge, not an alarm — Light and dark themes that respect the system — iCloud sync so your streak follows you to every device on your Apple ID — Money-saved counter: enter your typical weekly alcohol spend and see what you've saved The Dry is intentionally quiet. No ads. No accounts. No data leaves your phone unless you choose to share it. Your streak lives on your device, syncs to your widgets through an App Group, and only travels to Game Center when you opt in. A note: The Dry is a personal tracker, not a substitute for professional addiction treatment. If you need help, please reach out to a healthcare provider or a recognised support service. One day at a time. That's the whole secret.
