Is there a sobriety counter app for Android?
Yes. Sober: Sobriety Day Counter is a sobriety counter app for Android, and it is on Google Play. It counts your alcohol-free days, has a daily check-in, a calendar, a guided breathing session for cravings and a Home Screen widget, and it needs no account.
Disclosure: Jack Wallner makes Sober. What the Android app does below was checked against its code and its Google Play listing as of October 2026.
What does Sober do on Android?
- Day counter: your current streak, your longest streak and every alcohol-free day, counted from the start date you set.
- Daily check-in: one tap, with an optional mood and a short note.
- Calendar: a timeline that shows how your bonsai looked on any day.
- Bonsai garden: a tree that grows with each alcohol-free day, and a new tree joins your grove each full year.
- Craving mode: a guided box-breathing session for an urge to drink, free and unlimited.
- Slips: you log a slip honestly, the count starts over, your history stays and the tree keeps half its growth.
- Money and calories: the totals you have kept so far, from the daily numbers you enter.
- Health milestones: from the first day up to a year, with sources.
- Reminders: optional, and you can turn them off.
What does the Android widget show?
The Home Screen widget shows your day count with your bonsai. Stretch it wider and it also shows your tree stage and the date you started. Tapping it opens the app. To add it, touch and hold an empty spot on your Home screen, open Widgets and choose Sober Tracker.
