Sobriety & quitting

Multiple independent clocks for different habits at the same time (quit drinking in January, quit smoking in May) is a rare mechanic that users call the key feature.

A bug with deleting and resetting clocks: sometimes the only way to reset a counter is to delete the entire app. For people after a relapse who need to start over quickly, that is a real barrier.

People in long-term recovery who need a reliable, quiet counter without subscriptions, ads, or push notifications. Especially those working on multiple habits at once.

A detailed health recovery timeline showing exactly when each body system bounces back, paired with a clear money calculator. Users return to this screen years later.

Cora (AI chat) is unreliable: it disappears for weeks, and when it comes back, responses feel flat. There is no proper relapse flow. If you log a cigarette, the counter does not restart naturally.

Long-time smokers who need visible progress and concrete numbers, money saved and health regained, as motivation.

All 12 steps in one place. You can work through inventory, keep a gratitude list, and send it to your sponsor directly from the app. People with 8 to 15 years of sobriety write that they use it every day.

Authentication breaks and erases years of entries. Font size cannot be adjusted after an update. No way to reach the developer. Personal prayers cannot be added.

AA and Al-Anon members who want a digital companion for the steps with a daily practice built in.

A live counter in seconds, minutes, and days on the widget gives a sense of time moving forward continuously, not just another day on a calendar.

The counter occasionally loses accuracy by showing one day less than it should. For people for whom every single day matters, that is an emotionally painful bug.

People quitting any habit who prefer a minimalist tool with no programs or communities attached.

A live community where you can get support even after a relapse. People with many years of sobriety stick around and help new members. The sense that you are not alone.

The "like before you post" mechanic does not generate real feedback. Posts go into a void. iOS bugs. No home screen widget showing your sobriety date.

People recovering from any addiction who care more about a live community and real stories than tools and statistics.

SMS-based tracking makes the daily check-in nearly effortless. Users who are not aiming for total abstinence appreciate the absence of pressure toward sobriety: the app helps you manage, not prohibit.

After unsubscribing, SMS messages continue across multiple channels and users cannot stop them. Automated messages start promoting medication-assisted treatment to paying subscribers without prior notice.

People who want to control their drinking without quitting entirely and who appreciate a low-friction daily check-in ritual.

A daily morning reading ritual with the ability to send the text to a sponsor or friend directly from the app. Built-in accountability without a social network.

The religious tone (Christian references to God) puts off atheists and agnostics who also participate in AA programs through an alternative understanding of a higher power.

AA and similar 12-step program members, especially those already familiar with the book in print.

The achievement system works as a feedback loop. Users look forward to unlocking the next goal and say they come back in hard moments to check their progress. Several people quit on their first try after years of failed attempts.

Achievements do not account for gradual reduction: one cigarette while cutting back resets the counter. After the first month, milestones thin out, and people with longer streaks run out of motivating events.

People quitting smoking cold turkey who need game-like reinforcement every few days, especially in the first three months.
