Overview
Sober Tracker is a mobile application designed to help individuals monitor and maintain their sobriety from alcohol or other substances. Developed by Trifoil Trailblazer, the app emphasizes complete privacy by storing all user data locally on the device, with no accounts or cloud sync required. It targets people seeking a simple, motivational tool to track their progress, celebrate milestones, and visualize the benefits of sobriety through features like a recovery garden, financial savings tracker, and achievement badges.
Key Features
- Recovery Garden: A visual metaphor that evolves from a seed to a magical tree as sober days accumulate, providing a tangible representation of progress.
- 30+ Achievement Badges: Unlock time-based milestones, secret badges, and behavioral achievements, including a special Phoenix badge for restarting after a setback.
- Financial Tracker: Calculate money saved by setting weekly spending on alcohol, with category breakdowns, investment growth projections, and savings goals.
- Mood Journal: Record daily feelings, track mood patterns, and identify triggers that affect the sobriety journey.
- Coping Toolkit: Access 11 evidence-based strategies for managing cravings, including breathing exercises and urge surfing techniques.
