Not perfection β€” trajectory. Most trackers are built on sober-day streaks: a long chain that breaks after a single day. Acuna works differently. It shows one thing β€” direction. Whether this week sits above or below the last, and where your line is heading over time. One day doesn't ruin the picture; what matters is where the trend leads. Log a drink in seconds β€” pick a ready-made option or set your own volume and strength, and Acuna works out the grams of alcohol and the calories for you. Forgot yesterday? Add it after the fact. See where you stand: - A weekly ring filling toward your target - Day-by-day bars with a calm daily-pace line - 8 weeks of history that smooths the ups and downs, so you see a direction, not a verdict - Like for like: this Friday against last, this week against last - Alcohol-free days counted quietly, not as a score you're afraid to lose Set a target that fits you. Start from where you actually are and step down toward a calmer number β€” or straight to zero. The ladder is built around your level: the higher you start, the gentler the steps. Your life, your rules. No pressure β€” not from the app, not from anyone. You choose the target and you decide when to move it. Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. No Acuna account, no Acuna server, no analytics looking over your shoulder β€” we never see it. Try it free for 14 days. Then a monthly or yearly subscription. You pick, and you can cancel anytime. Acuna speaks 13 languages and greets you with a short, quiet line each time you open it. Less pressure. More sense of where you're heading. Not perfection β€” trajectory.
