Privacy Policy →How it's built and why it matters.
Most sobriety apps make you fill out forms and stare at a plain number. I wanted something that turns a day count into a feeling — a garden that visibly grows every time you check in, so progress is something you can see, not just recall.
Sober is a day counter and a virtual garden in one. Check in once a day, watch your bonsai grow from seed toward a full grove, and see the health benefits and money you're getting back along the way. No signup, no cloud, no relapse shaming. The core app is free — forever.
An optional upgrade for people who want the full picture. $2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $39.99 once for lifetime access — monthly and yearly include a 7-day free trial (if eligible).
Full health timeline. All 13 recovery benefits (backed by NIAAA, CDC, and AHA sources) with detailed explanations, not just the first 5.
Journal with prompts. Daily reflection prompts, freeform writing, and a feeling picker. Entries stay private and local, same as everything else.
Achievements. All 9 milestones across time (First Step, Quarter Master, Year One) and check-in streaks (Perfect Week, Diamond Discipline).
Money & calories saved, all garden species. See your running savings against a daily cost you set, and unlock all 6 bonsai styles as your streak grows.

The garden as feedback loop. A number resets your motivation every time you look at it; a growing tree doesn't. The garden ties every check-in to visible, cumulative progress instead of a count that just goes up.
No relapse shame. Missing a check-in or logging a slip doesn't punish you or reset your garden to zero — the app is built to keep you coming back, not make you afraid to open it.
Watch-first check-ins. The Apple Watch app makes the daily check-in a one-tap action from your wrist, so the habit survives on the days you don't want to open your phone.
Privacy as a feature. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs beyond StoreKit. Sobriety data is sensitive — the app never asks who you are or sends anything off-device.
Free on the App Store. No account required. Upgrade to Bloom+ anytime.
