What each one is for
I Am Sober: the biggest community
The most downloaded of the five by a wide margin [1]. A day tracker with a daily pledge, milestones and, with Sober Plus, groups [6]. Pick it if you want other people around.
Sunflower: AI sponsor, minimal data
A sunflower for every sober day, guided exercises and an AI sponsor [7]. Its Google Play Data safety section says it collects no data and shares none [2].
Reframe: a paid course for cutting back
The Android name says it: "Cut Back on Alcohol" [3]. A 160-day program with optional coaching, on subscription after a 7-day trial [8].
Try Dry: free, from a charity
A drinking diary with units, calories, money and goals, published by Alcohol Change UK and free [4] [9]. Good for cutting down or a month off.
Sober Girl: quiet and private, for women
Our app. A day counter with hours, weeks and money saved, a one-tap daily check-in, a Craving SOS with a breathing exercise and a 10-minute timer, nine milestone badges and a tree that grows with your streak. No account and no feed. It is listed on Google Play as "Drink Less: Alcohol Free Days" [5], which is why you may not find it by searching "Sober Girl".
How to check an Android app before you install it
- Scroll to Data safety on the listing. It shows whether data is shared with third parties, what is collected, and whether you can ask for it to be deleted.
- Tap "See details" for the data types. "Collected" can mean purchase records for a subscription, not your diary.
- Look at "In-app purchases". It tells you the app has something to sell, not what or how much. Open the app’s paywall before the trial starts.
- Check the developer name under the title, and search it. On Android, two apps can have similar names.
- Remember that uninstalling does not cancel a subscription. Google Play says so explicitly [10].
