SoberDeck
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most sobriety apps wipe your streak the day you slip. SoberDeck doesn't. Track alcohol the calm way — one tap a day, your whole history kept, numbers that keep climbing even after a hard day. Quit completely or just drink less. Set your goal, change it anytime, never lose a log. More than drinking. SoberDeck also tracks nicotine, cannabis, sugar, gambling, social media, caffeine — or a habit of your own — each with labels, goals, and milestones that reshape to fit. Alcohol is free; add other habits with Premium. A slip is data, never failure. See your real week, ride out the next urge, keep going. Everything core is free. Forever. Daily logging, urge logging, widget, Control Center, history, milestones — no account required. iCloud sync included. Your data stays yours. No sign-up, no email, no ads, no trackers. Optional private iCloud sync lives in your own iCloud — even we can't read it. Log from anywhere. App, Home Screen widget, Lock Screen, or Control Center. See yourself recover. A calm timeline marks milestones people notice as days add up — sleep, mood, money. Source-cited, not medical advice. Premium adds year-view trends, averages, multiple habits, and CSV/PDF export. However you define progress, SoberDeck keeps it. Privacy Policy: https://soberdeck.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://soberdeck.app/terms
