Sober-ish is a calm calendar for the days you drank, used cannabis, or vaped. Not a quit-or-fail streak counter. Just an honest, private picture of how your month really went, so cutting back feels doable. ONE TAP A DAY Tap a day, tick what applies. Days with nothing logged stay quiet; logged days get a soft color, so patterns show up on their own. SEE WHERE YOU STAND • Days since you last logged each one, and your longest break • How many days this week or month, side by side • Works for alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine. Track only what matters to you. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Sign in with a one-time email code. No passwords, no ads, no tracking, and your logs are never sold or shared. Delete your account and everything in it from Settings anytime. SOBER-ISH PRO • How much, not just if: record amounts and see what a typical day looks like • Mood, context & notes: how the day felt, who you were with, and a line on what happened • Widgets: log from your Home Screen, see days since on your Lock Screen • The long view: 90-day and yearly stats, plus six-month trends Pro is available as a yearly subscription ($19.99/year with a 7-day free trial), a monthly subscription ($2.99/month), or a one-time lifetime purchase ($39.99). Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your Apple ID settings. Sober-ish is a personal log, not medical advice or treatment. If you're worried about your use, please talk to a professional.

Verdict

The call

Clear and Sober are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
