She's not sinking because of the weather. She's sinking because you haven't had any water since breakfast. Float is a hydration tracker built around one honest mechanic: your boat holds a tank that drains all day, every day. Drink, and she rises. Ignore her, and she goes under - the same way you actually feel by 3pm on a day you forgot to drink anything. No streaks to fake. No log to guilt you. Just a boat that tells you the truth about where you're at, at a glance. HOW IT WORKS - Your boat drains continuously through your waking hours - Log a drink in one tap - she rises immediately - Reminders land at real moments: morning, lunch, the afternoon slump, last call - not just "every 3 hours" from whenever you happened to wake up - Build a streak measured by days she actually stayed afloat, not just days you hit a number - Track your week, adjust your daily goal, and pick a reminder cadence that fits your day Float is free to try. A Float+ yearly subscription ($9.99/year) unlocks full access to reminders, your streak history, and every future boat added to the game. Stay hydrated today!

CLEARSTILL helps you drink less — or not at all — without shame, streak anxiety, or starting over. Most drinking trackers are built around a streak. Break it, and the app acts as though the last three months never happened. CLEARSTILL counts differently: every alcohol-free day you log is kept for good. A drinking day is recorded honestly and takes nothing away. EVERY GOOD DAY COUNTS Log a day in one tap. Watch your alcohol-free days accumulate — by month, by year, and for as long as you use the app. Your current run is there if you want it, but it is never the headline, and it never wipes anything out. HELP IN THE MOMENT Cravings pass, usually in about nine minutes. When one arrives, open craving support: a paced two-minute breath, your own reasons in your own words, and something to make instead. Twenty-five interventions, chosen for what actually set the craving off. THE DRINK LAB 40+ alcohol-free recipes that stand on their own — sour, bitter, warming, celebratory. Real measurements, real technique, ingredients from an ordinary supermarket. Seventeen are free forever. MARKS Twenty quiet achievements for what you've kept: your first alcohol-free day, seven in a row, a hundred days, and one for coming back after a drinking day. Marks are never taken back. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your days, notes and cravings stay on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud. We cannot read them. Export everything or erase everything, whenever you want. WHAT YOUR DAYS SAY Plus reads your own history back to you: which weekday asks the most of you, how long your cravings actually last, what sets them off, how much longer you sleep without a drink, and how often you come back the very next day. Every figure is drawn from your logs — and stays quiet until there is enough of them to mean something. CLEARSTILL PLUS The core loop is free forever — logging, progress, statistics, craving support and Marks never check whether you've paid. Plus adds your personal patterns, the morning comparison, and the full Drink Lab. CLEARSTILL is a companion, not medical care. If you may be physically dependent on alcohol, please talk to a doctor before stopping — withdrawal can be dangerous. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
