About this app

Brightcap is a sober tracker that helps you quit drinking and stay stopped. It counts your days sober, adds up the money you save and gives you a one-tap SOS for cravings.

Getting started
• Start your counter now, or from the day and time of your last drink.
• Add what you drank and spent in a typical week, in your own currency.
• Choose your reasons for stopping and your triggers, like stress or social events.
• See what your first month and year alcohol-free add up to in money, drinks and calories.

Today
• A live sobriety counter, down to the second, drawn as a sun that climbs toward your next milestone.
• Money saved, plus drinks and calories skipped, based on your answers.
• A morning pledge to stay alcohol-free today.
• An evening check-in to rate your mood and cravings and add a note.

Recovery timeline
• Milestones from 24 hours to 1 year, and how close you are to the next one.
• Each one says what can change and links to its source, such as the NHS, MedlinePlus or the CDC.

Craving SOS
• Paced breathing with a circle, 4 seconds in and 6 out.
• A timer while you ride it out. SAMHSA says most cravings last 7 to 20 minutes.
• Your reasons, plus quick things to try, like a short walk or texting someone.
• Log each craving with how strong it was, what set it off and what helped.

If you slip
• Tap "I drank" and log when it happened, how many drinks and what led to it.
• The counter restarts from that time. Your best streak and total sober days still count.

Insights
• Current streak, best streak, total sober days and cravings ridden out.
• Cravings by trigger and by time of day, so you can see your riskiest hours.
• A 30-day mood chart, your streak history and milestone badges.

Reminders
• Pledge and check-in reminders at the times you pick, unless you've already done them.
• A notification when you reach a milestone.

Privacy
No account, no ads and no analytics. Your logs are private. On Android 9 and later, when Google backup and a screen lock are on, Android backs up your data with end-to-end encryption. Neither Google nor the developer can read it. An available backup restores your history on reinstall or a new phone. No screen lock means no cloud backup. Turn backup off in Android settings. Reset local data in Brightcap Settings.

Brightcap needs Brightcap Pro, sold as a monthly plan, a yearly plan with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

If you drink heavily every day, or feel shaky, sweaty or anxious until your first drink, talk to a doctor before you stop. Stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Brightcap asks about this during setup.
