What a sober app should do

A good sober app makes the next hour easier. That usually means three things: a way to see how far you've come, somewhere to turn when a craving or a hard night hits, and a quick route to real people and crisis lines. It shouldn't shame you after a slip, sell your attention to advertisers, or assume everyone is quitting the same thing.

What's inside Free and Sober™

  • Sober day counter. Your current days and your total days side by side, with milestones from 24 hours to the years. Try the sobriety calculator to see your number today.
  • Twelve AI mentors. Each has an AI-generated face and voice. Your AI mentor is a space to talk it out, any hour: it listens and helps you reflect, and it doesn't give advice. Meet the mentors.
  • Time Capsule. Record a message to your future self, sealed until day 30. How the Time Capsule works.
  • Guided paths. Getting ready, The first 30 days, Staying sober, and After a slip.
  • Your Corner. Keep the people who support you close.
  • A crisis check first. Every message gets the same crisis check, and Call 988, Text 988 and Call 911 are always one tap away. See safety and crisis lines.

Built for more than alcohol

Many sober apps are built around drinking alone. Recovery often isn't that tidy. People leave behind more than one substance, swap one for another, or are quitting something other than alcohol entirely. Free and Sober™ counts days, not drinks, so it works whatever you're leaving behind. Read more on getting sober from any substance.

It fits the path you already walk, or none at all: AA or NA, SMART, Recovery Dharma, Celebrate Recovery, secular, or no program. No ads, ever.

Free and Sober™ launches November 20, 2026 on the App Store and Google Play, in all 50 US states and DC. Essentials starts with a 3-day free trial. Renews automatically every month until you cancel. Cancel anytime in your phone's store settings. See plans or see how it works.
