Most "best recovery apps" lists were written years ago and copied from each other since. This one is current, short, and honest about who each app is actually for.
The most popular sobriety tracker: day counter, milestones, daily pledges, and a large community. Covers many habits, not just alcohol.
Free basics · paid tier roughly $10/mo or $40/yr — check their site
A structured, course-style program focused on drinking less or quitting, with daily readings and exercises. Alcohol only — if your struggle is something else, it isn't built for you.
Around $100/yr — check their site
Tracking and gentle goals for people who want to drink less rather than stop. If you already know moderation hasn't worked for you, look elsewhere on this list.
Around $9/mo — check their site
Simple sobriety clocks — as many as you want, for anything you're quitting. No program, no lessons, but genuinely free and it does what it says.
Free
Day counting, motivation, and a community feed. Similar territory to I Am Sober — try both and keep the one that feels right.
Free basics · small paid tier
Less a recovery program, more a sober social network — events, dating, community. Strong once you're steady and want a life that doesn't revolve around avoiding things.

Look down that list again. Day counters for the person struggling. Programs for them. Communities for them.
Nothing for the person lying awake next to them.
The wife who found the bottles. The husband watching his partner disappear into something. They get told to find a meeting or read a book — support groups for families have existed since 1951, and in all that time nobody built them software.
Ours — built by one man who was addicted for 38 years and got free at 50. Day counter, SOS tools for the 2am moment, daily lessons across 13 habit tracks (alcohol, porn, food, gambling, smoking and more) — and the part nobody else built: a whole section for the partner. What's actually happening, what's yours to carry and what isn't, and how to tell a promise from a change. Your side is private; they never see what you write.
Free, forever. Every lesson, every tool.
Try it free On Android? Get it on Google Play I'm here because of someone I love →Quitting or cutting back on alcohol only: Reframe or Sunnyside.
Just want a free counter: Nomo.
Want the biggest community: I Am Sober or Sober Time.
Rebuilding a social life sober: Loosid.
More than one habit, or a partner who's drowning in this too: that's exactly
what ours is for.
Whichever you choose — choosing one tonight beats researching all of them for another week. Someday is the enemy.
