Quit drinking. One day at a time.
Sober Tracker is a personal toolkit for your alcohol-free journey: it counts your days and your money, walks you through cravings, and helps you start again if you slip — all on your phone, all private.
- Free to start
- No sign-up
- Works offline
I want to quit drinking
The app starts with four questions and builds your plan around the answers. Here's how it goes.
01
Why do you want to quit?
Your reason, in your words — you'll read it back on hard days.
02
How often do you drink?
Daily, most days, weekends. Your baseline sets the math.
03
When do you usually drink?
Evenings, after work, socially. Timing shapes the plan.
04
What triggers you?
Stress, boredom, certain people, certain places. Named early, planned for.
Your personalized alcohol-free plan
From your answers the app sets your quit date, estimates the money and drinks you'll save, and keeps your reason one tap away — then counts every sober day after that.
Start with four questions
If you drink heavily every day, talk to a doctor before you stop — alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous and sometimes needs medical supervision.
Everything the journey needs
The counter is the heart. Around it: cravings, triggers, restarts, milestones — a full toolkit for the alcohol-free life.
The counter, in four numbers
41days sober
$862kept
98reclaimed
327drinks not had
Set your quit date and the counting begins: days sober, money kept, hours reclaimed, drinks you didn't have — live on your home screen, in the app and in the iOS widget.
A one-tap daily check-in
Mood, triggers, a short note. Thirty seconds a day builds a picture of what actually helps you stay steady.
A diary that stays yours
A private journal behind a PIN. Your words never leave the phone.
Cravings, met with a plan
Log each craving with its trigger — or open the 10-minute toolkit and ride it out. Two weeks in, your 6 p.m. pattern stops being a surprise.
A restart without shame
If you slip, you reset the counter when you're ready. Your history stays visible, and the Phoenix badge marks the courage of starting again.
A garden that grows with you
Every sober day waters a plant that slowly becomes a tree. Watching it change makes progress feel real.
Milestones worth waiting for
From the first 24 hours to a full year — more than 30 badges that turn long stretches into something you can collect.
Daily motivation, personal goals
A short, honest piece of motivation every day, plus goals you set yourself — the app nudges you toward what you're moving to, not just away from.
Progress you can read
Mood, cravings, spending and streaks over time — analytics that show what's actually working.
Your body, healing on schedule
A recovery timeline shows what's happening inside — sleep, skin, heart, brain — from 12 hours to one year in.

Craving support
Craving? Let's get through the next 10 minutes.
You don't have to beat the craving forever — just the next ten minutes. The app walks you through it, one step at a time.
One tap opens the toolkit. Pick what fits the moment:
- A guided breathing exercise
- A quick distraction
- A short walk
- A glass of water
- Your reason, to read again
- Contact someone who gets it
When the wave passes, rate the craving from 1 to 10. Every rating turns triggers into patterns — and patterns lose their power once you can name them.
TodayCravingProgressThe Quitwon Method
Five steps from thinking about it to living it — the app carries the load at each one.
01
Decide
Name your reason and say it out loud. A decision with a reason survives contact with Thursday evening.
In the app Write your reason — it stays one tap away.
02
Prepare
Pick a quit date within the next week, tell one person, and plan your first tricky evening in advance.
In the app Set your quit date and drinking baseline; the app does the math.
03
Quit
Day one counts itself — days, money, hours, drinks you didn't have. Progress you can watch beats promises you have to remember.
In the app The counter starts. The garden starts growing.
04
Handle cravings
Cravings peak and pass in minutes. Ride them out — breathe, move, drink water, reread your reason — then rate them 1–10.
In the app The 10-minute craving toolkit and the craving log.
05
Build your new routine
Check in daily, watch triggers turn into patterns, and let milestones mark the distance you've covered.
In the app Daily check-ins, trigger log, milestones, progress analytics.
Progress you can watch grow
Every sober day waters your plant. Nine stages from seed to blossoming tree — it can't be rushed, and it can't be bought. Only earned.

What quitters say
From the App Store and Google Play.
4.8out of 5
from 250 reviews across the App Store and Google Play
“Day 47. The counter on my home screen is the first thing I see every morning — and the garden gives me one more reason not to reset it.”
“Would love more widget styles, but the craving timer got me through week one. Logging what triggered it showed me it was always after work — never random.”
“Relapsed after three months and the app didn't make me feel like a failure. Reset the counter, kept my history, earned the Phoenix. Back to 30 days.”
Built by people who count, too
Quitwon makes calm tools for changing habits. We started with the thing we most needed to keep honest: a counter that never nags, never judges, and never loses your place.

Questions, answered honestly
Does Sober Tracker need an account?
No. There's no sign-up screen — the app works on your device from the first launch. Optional features like the seasonal leaderboard use an anonymous device ID, and linking an email is only ever for the supporter feature. You can use the app forever without giving us anything.
Is my data really private?
Your counter, journal entries, diary and check-ins are stored on your phone. The diary can be locked behind a PIN. We collect anonymous usage analytics to fix bugs — never your entries or your identity.
What happens if I relapse?
Nothing scary. You reset your counter when you're ready, and your history stays visible so you can learn from it. There's even a badge — the Phoenix — for people who start again, because starting again is the point.
What's free, and what's premium?
Free forever: the counter (days, money, time), milestones, daily check-ins, the diary, the garden, habits, achievements and the leaderboard. Premium adds the cravings log, pattern insights and PDF reports. There's a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.
How is the money I saved calculated?
You tell the app roughly how much you used to drink and what it cost. From there it multiplies by your sober days. It's an estimate — but a motivating one, and you can tune it any time.
Does the app work offline?
Yes. The counter, check-ins, diary and garden are local first — they work without a connection. Only the leaderboard needs the network.
Which languages does it speak?
Thirteen: English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch, Français, Português, Русский, Italiano, Polski, Nederlands, 日本語, 한국어 and 中文.
Is there a home-screen widget?
Yes, on iOS — your sober days sit right on the home screen, updating on their own.
Can I track something other than alcohol?
Sober Tracker is built for alcohol-free days first — the milestones, health timeline and garden all reflect that. Many people use it for other breaks too, but the wording won't pretend to know what you're counting.
Will it actually help with cravings?
The coping toolkit teaches evidence-based techniques like urge surfing and paced breathing, and the cravings log (premium) shows you when and why cravings hit — patterns are easier to beat than surprises.
Can I get my data out?
Yes — the PDF report (premium) summarizes your streaks, mood and spending in a document you can keep or share with a therapist.
If I stop paying, do I lose my streak?
Never. The counter and everything you logged remain yours whether or not you ever pay a cent.
Day one starts whenever you're ready.
Free to download. No account. Your data stays on your phone.
