SoberQuest

What’s in it for you?

Every clean day, seen.
Every hard moment, held.

SoberQuest is a free companion in your pocket: one tap a day to count your progress, and real tools the moment a craving hits. No account. No judgement. Just you – and someone on your side.

  • No sign-up, no account
  • Works offline
  • Your data stays on your phone

Heads-up: the app currently starts in German. After the one-minute setup you can switch to English in ⚙ Settings. More languages – and starting in yours automatically – come with the next update.

Why it helps

Not another app that judges you. One that stays.

You’re not alone at 2 a.m.

When the craving comes, SOS is one tap away – breathing, a wave timer, your own plan and the people you trust.

You see that it’s working

A streak, money and time won back, badges for every milestone. Proof, every day, that you’re moving.

It stays between you and your phone

No account, no email, no tracking. Nobody sees your diary – not even us.

How it works

One tap a day. That’s the quest.

  1. Start your quest

    One-minute setup: a nickname, what you want to leave behind, your clean date and your “why”.

  2. Check in daily

    One tap on “Clean today”. Add a morning intention and an evening reflection if you like.

  3. Use your tools

    Daily mission and five small tasks. When it gets hard: SOS, ride the wave, play a calm game.

  4. Celebrate milestones

    Day 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180, 365: a badge, bonus XP and a card to share – if you want.

When things go wrong

A slip is not the end. A crisis is not yours to carry alone.

What SoberQuest does in the three moments that matter most:

  1. A craving hits

    Tap SOS. Breathe, start the wave timer, read your own if–then plan, play a calm game. Cravings rise and fall – you ride it out.

  2. You slip

    Your streak starts again – but your clean days, XP, points and every badge stay. No shame, no lecture: kind words and a look at your plan.

  3. You’re in danger

    Call a person now. The numbers are built into the app and on this page.

Outside Austria: call your local emergency number. In the app, help is always one tap away via the SOS button.

A companion, not a medical device

SoberQuest makes no diagnosis and gives no dose advice. It doesn’t replace doctors, therapy, counselling or meetings – it supports the time in between. Please don’t stop alcohol, benzodiazepines or opioids abruptly without medical advice.

How do I get rewarded?

Earned, never bought. Never taken away.

Every reward is fixed and predictable – no randomness, no loot boxes, no money. Just progress you can see.

Where is my data?

On your phone. Only there.

Everything you enter stays in your own browser on your own device (browser storage, “localStorage”). We run no database, there is no account, and the app sends none of your entries anywhere.

Settings: privacy with PIN, and your data with export, import and reset

What that means

Private by design: nobody can read your diary or cravings – not even us. And it works offline, on the train, in the night.

The flip side

Because nothing is in a cloud, clearing your browser data, uninstalling, or switching to a new phone means the data is gone – unless you exported it.

How to back it up

⚙ Settings → “Export data” saves one file with everything. On a new phone: “Import data”. Keep that file somewhere safe – it isn’t encrypted.

Lock it with a PIN

The app locks when opened and after 2 minutes in the background. Your PIN is never stored, only a salted hash. Forgot it? There is no back door – only a full reset.

🔒 What stays on your phone: profile and clean date, check-ins, streak, points and badges, diary, moods, your plan, safety plan and trusted contacts, settings.

Why we built it

We’ve been there. That’s why SoberQuest exists.

SoberQuest didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with us. We know addiction from the inside – the long evenings, the cravings that come in waves, the mornings when you start again from zero.

We built the companion we wished we’d had: something warm in your pocket that believes in you, counts every clean day and never shames you for a slip. We built it for ourselves first. Now we’re sharing it.

And we keep telling our story – because every story told out loud makes it a little easier for the next person to take their first step.

Dignity, not judgementEvery clean day countsYour data is yours

Built with AI. Built for humans.

We use modern AI tools to build SoberQuest – that’s how a small team can ship a free, carefully made app and keep improving it.

Coming soon Optional, transparent AI personalisation. Never medical advice – and in a crisis it will always point you to real people.

Today the app has no AI chatbot and sends nothing to any AI service.

FAQ

Questions? Fair enough.

Is SoberQuest free?

Yes. Completely free – no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription.

Where is my data stored?

Only in the browser on your phone (localStorage). There is no account and no server database. If you clear the browser data or change phones, it’s gone – so use “Export data” in Settings to keep a backup.

Is this crypto? What are Clean Tokens worth?

No, it’s not crypto. Points, badges and the upcoming Clean Tokens are personal progress markers with no money value. They can’t be bought, sold, traded or cashed out.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Open the app, do the one-minute setup and you’re in. No email, no password. Add it to your home screen – it works offline, too.

What happens if I relapse?

Your streak starts again, but your clean days, XP, points and badges stay. The app offers kind words, your SOS tools and your plan.

Which languages does it speak?

Right now German and English (the app starts in German – switch to English in Settings). The next update brings 14 languages, including French and Spanish.

Does it replace therapy or meetings?

No. SoberQuest is a companion for everyday life. It works best alongside doctors, counselling, therapy or groups – not instead of them.

How do I add it to my home screen?

iPhone: open the app in Safari → Share → “Add to Home Screen”. Android: open it in Chrome → menu ⋮ → “Install app”.
