Dry Days
Read full descriptionHide full description
Book your dry days before the week starts. At the start of the week, mark the days you plan to drink. Every day you don't mark becomes a dry day. Instead of counting the days you didn't drink, you decide the drinking days first. ■ Book first, then record ・Tap a date to make it a drinking day ・Everything else is a dry day. One tap each evening records how it went ・You can also record straight from the notification ■ You set the deadline for adding a drinking day ・Same day / day before / three days before ・Past the deadline, a day can no longer become a drinking day ・Recording that you drank is always open. Only changing the plan afterwards is closed ・Extending the deadline takes effect next week; shortening it applies right away ■ Counted by the week, so one day doesn't erase everything ・A ring shows how many dry days you kept this week ・Slip once and the ring still starts from zero next week ・Weeks that went as planned are marked on the calendar ■ The morning after, in your own record ・One tap logs how you woke up ・Mornings after a dry day and after a drinking day are shown side by side, with counts ・Nothing is shown until you have three of each ■ What you didn't spend, with the arithmetic ・Set an amount per drinking day and your dry days add up ・The formula is always shown next to the total ■ Also ・One-line notes ・Export and import your records ・Home Screen widget ・App lock with Face ID ・Six languages Everything stays on your device. No account required. This app is a tool for keeping your own record. It does not provide medical advice.
Soberya

You do not have to quit forever to start. Soberya is an alcohol tracker built for two goals: drink less within a weekly limit you set, or stop completely. Either way it counts the days with you, one evening at a time, and never says a word about willpower. This is not an app that only counts perfect days. Log what you actually drank, see what it cost in money and calories, and watch the good weeks stack up. Nothing here scolds you, and one drink never wipes out the weeks behind it. EVERY EVENING, ONE CHECK-IN • Tap once to mark a day alcohol-free, or log a drink in two taps with your own presets • Streak, personal record and next milestone, all on one screen • Add a private note about how the day really went • Check in straight from a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget THE NUMBERS THAT MAKE IT REAL • Money you did not spend, from the price you set for your usual drink • Alcohol calories you avoided • Standard drinks per week, charted against your own limit • A month view where every day is coloured: alcohol-free, within your limit, or over WHEN A CRAVING HITS • A 60-second guided breath to sit it out - most cravings fade in 15 to 20 minutes • The reasons you once wrote down, back in front of you • Your streak and your savings, right when the reminder counts • Your regional helpline and emergency number, one tap away SOMETHING TO AIM FOR • 29 badges for streaks, total alcohol-free days and money set aside • A recovery timeline from 12 hours to one year, built on NHS, NIAAA and WHO guidance • 42 app icons that unlock as the days add up • Six companions whose mood follows your week and says hello every morning DO IT WITH PEOPLE YOU TRUST • Add close friends with a private code - no contact upload, no feed, no strangers • You choose exactly which totals they see, and you can change it any time • Send a cheer when someone has had a good week YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Tracking works on your device - no account needed, no ads, nothing sold • iCloud backup is free, so a new phone never costs you your history • Lock the app behind Face ID • Export a full copy as JSON any time, and erase everything in two confirmations • Write your drinks to Apple Health if you want them there SOBERYA PLUS Optional, and everything above stays free. Plus opens your whole history, lets you fill in any day you missed, unlocks all 42 icons plus eight more companions, adds CSV and Excel export, and gives you a page you can share. A NOTE ON SAFETY If you drink heavily every day, stopping abruptly can be dangerous. Talk to a doctor before quitting outright - cutting down gradually is a real goal here too. Soberya does not give medical advice or treatment. Pick your goal tonight. Tomorrow morning, someone will be there to say hello. Auto-renews until cancelled. Cancel any time in the App Store.
