Drink less.
Raise a dinosaur.

Built around one day

Check in. Keep going. Watch it evolve.

No day counters to babysit, no lectures. Just a daily habit that turns alcohol-free days into something you can see.

Day 1

Check in

Record your mood, craving level and whether you were alcohol-free yesterday. Journal note optional, then you are done.

Seven alcohol-free days reaches Bronze Era. Feed and pet your Drynosaur, build your bond and earn Drynocoins along the way.

Day 30

Evolve

Thirty alcohol-free days reaches Steel Era and evolves your Drynosaur. More eras follow, and it evolves again at 90.

The Drynocoins you earn along the way unlock new habitats and widgets, so there is always something further up the trail.

For the moments in between

More than a sober day counter

Drinking less is not only about keeping count. Drynosaur gives you something useful to come back to, on the good days and the wobbly ones.

30-second check-ins

Mood, cravings and whether yesterday was alcohol-free. Add a journal note when there is more to say.

Streaks & sobriety eras

Climb from Nickel Era on day one to Platinum at one year, with health milestones along the way.

An evolving Drynosaur

Your Drynosaur evolves at 30 and 90 alcohol-free days. Feed it, build your bond and collect all three species.

Money saved

The drink calculator estimates what you used to spend, then watches your savings climb every day.

8 Home Screen widgets

Sober day counter, money saved, next milestone and daily quotes, without opening the app.

Basecamp for cravings

Mindfulness audio, focus games, recovery resources and your emergency contact, one tap away.

Expeditions

Guided reflections and daily prompts. Work out what drinking was actually for, and what you want instead.

Ice Age, not game over

A slip freezes your Drynosaur, but its progress doesn't restart. Three sober days will thaw it out, and on you go.

Also inside: a sobriety calendar and journal, achievements, walk tracking, habitats to unlock, games, and private iCloud backup.

Helped me get sober

"I was having a problem with multiple different substances and vices for years. I'd occasionally having a couple months kinda clean from just white knuckling. I found this app randomly on instagram & instantly downloaded it. It helped immensely for the first two weeks then I started going to NA to continue to support my recovery. I'm currently living in sober living (which I love!), have an amazing group of sober friends and almost at 5 months clean. I just got a second drynosaur in the game that I'm specifically going to use for my adult entertainment addiction that I want to kick. I never leave reviews for anything, but this app was the catalyst that changed my life immensely. The differences are day and night!! I can't recommend this enough & I tell all my friends wanting to get sober about this app:) Thank you, Gareth!!"
