WHY ALTERED IS DIFFERENT Most sobriety apps count what you gave up. Altered is built around what you are becoming: clearer, sharper, calmer, more present and more in control of the life you want. This is a quit drinking app with the atmosphere of a private members’ club: elegant design, daily rituals, tactile progress, anonymous community cards and a little mystery. Not another noisy feed. Not another lecture. Not a sterile counter with a badge stuck on it. WHAT YOU GET Sober day tracker Log each day, view your total sober days, follow your current streak and see your progress build over time. Your sober coin Your coin shows total sober days. If you drink, your streak can reset, but your total sober days remain part of your story. Daily card packs Open cards from the Altered Method. Each card gives you one clear idea, a short explanation and a small action to help you rethink alcohol, habits and identity. Private deck Save the cards that land. Return to them when you need a reminder, a sharper thought or a reason to keep going. The 70-day Altered Method Move through a structured sober-life path for rethinking alcohol, building habits and finding alcohol-free joy. Calming rituals Use Growth Rituals for positive reflection and Release Rituals for private symbolic release. Ritual entries are not saved. Calm tools Use guided breathing, a short guided walk and Coin Shine, a tactile calming tool for moments when old drinking thoughts get loud. Anonymous community cards Every Sunday, write a card for another member and receive one back. Human, anonymous and designed for belonging without social media chaos. Alfie, your members’ manager Alfie is scripted, discreet and encouraging. He appears throughout the app with calm reminders, celebration and a bit of polish. WHO ALTERED IS FOR Altered is for people who want to quit drinking, take a break from alcohol, build more sober days, or make alcohol-free life feel more rewarding. It is for the person who does not want their sober app to feel like a punishment. It is for the person who wants tracking, structure, privacy and a stronger sense of identity. It is for the person who wants to become someone else, quietly, elegantly, one day at a time. A NOTE ON SAFETY Altered is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, emergency support, or clinical treatment. Start your next Chapter in the House of Altered.

Soberly
Read full descriptionHide full description
See exactly what happens in your body from the day you stop drinking. Heart, liver, brain, skin, energy and sleep — each one calculated from how much you drank and how often. Not a generic timeline. Most quit-drinking apps show everyone the same chart. Soberly starts from your own history: how many drinks on a drinking day, how many days a week. Someone on two glasses of wine at the weekend and someone on six drinks every night do not have the same liver, and should not be shown the same number. WHAT YOU GET • Six organs tracked separately, on a recovery model built from published NHS and CDC alcohol guidance • 18 health milestones, from the first hour to 15 years • A life tree that grows through 8 stages as your sober streak grows • Money saved, drinks not drunk and life regained, counting up in real time • 47 achievements across health, streak, time, life and legendary • Daily habits with reminders at times you choose • A journal, and sealed letters delivered to your future self WHEN THE CRAVING HITS At 9pm, when you want a drink, you will not meet a payment screen. The SOS toolkit is free and always will be: a 90-second craving timer, four breathing exercises, concrete instructions rather than vague advice, your own reasons for stopping, and a page on what alcohol is doing to you that ends in hope rather than fear. Every notification is free too. So are the journal, the letters, the tips and the breathing. BEFORE YOU STOP Soberly is the rare app in this category that will tell you not to do this alone. If you drink heavily or every day, quitting suddenly can be dangerous — alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures. Soberly reads the two numbers you enter and tells you plainly when to speak to a doctor first. No other tracker in your search results does that. PREMIUM The core of Soberly is free. Premium unlocks: • All 18 health milestones (6 free) • All 47 achievements (first 3 of every shelf free) • Unlimited daily habits (2 free) • Monthly calendars for drinks and habits (last 7 days free) • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • All 8 Tree of Life scenes (Night free) Three-month, yearly and lifetime plans. The renewing plans include a 3-day free trial. Cancel any time in Settings. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Turkish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic — including 300 daily messages written in each language rather than machine-translated. A NOTE ON THE NUMBERS Soberly does not give medical advice. The recovery figures are an estimate modelled on published alcohol guidance from bodies such as the NHS and the CDC. They are not a diagnosis and not a substitute for care. If you are physically dependent on alcohol, speak to a health professional before you stop. Today can be day one.
