Daybreak

Sobriety Companion

Count your days. Keep your reasons close. Get yourself back.

Daybreak is a private companion for anything you’re ready to leave behind — alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, drugs, gambling, sugar, or a habit only you can name. It quietly counts your days free, marks the milestones that matter, and is there in the moments when it’s hard. Not a scoreboard. Not a social network. Never a subscription.

What Daybreak does

Anything you’re ready to leave behind

Alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, drugs, gambling, sugar, or something only you can name. Daybreak doesn’t judge what you’re quitting — it just counts with you. Track one thing, or several at once.

Your reasons, at the center

When you begin, you write down who and what you’re doing this for. On the hard days, Daybreak shows your own words back to you — because nothing we could write is stronger than your reasons.

For the hard moments

The “I need a minute” button opens a calm space: a guided breathing circle, a three-minute ride-it-out timer, and your reasons. You can save up to three people you trust and reach them with one tap — and the 988 and SAMHSA lines are always right there.

A journal, not a scoreboard

A gentle daily check-in — how you’re feeling, and a private note if you want. Your recovery becomes a story you can look back on, not a number you’re afraid to lose.

Milestones that mean something

From your first 24 hours all the way to ten years, each milestone comes with words written for that exact moment — plus a health-recovery timeline showing how your body is healing.

Slips happen. Shame doesn’t live here.

If you slip, Daybreak helps you begin again with dignity. Your best run is remembered, your journal stays, and you start from experience — never from zero.

Your money, back in your pocket

Tell Daybreak what the habit cost you per day, and watch what you’re saving add up in real time.

Common questions

How long do cravings usually last?

Most cravings pass within a few minutes. Daybreak includes a three-minute ride-it-out timer and a guided breathing circle built around exactly that, so you have somewhere to put the time instead of white-knuckling it.

Does Daybreak work for quitting smoking or vaping?

Yes. It counts days for alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, drugs, gambling, sugar, or a habit only you can name.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no account, no sign-up and no server. Nothing you enter is uploaded anywhere.

What happens if I slip?

You begin again with your history intact. Your best run is remembered and your journal stays, so you start from experience rather than from zero.

Is Daybreak a subscription?

No. Daybreak is free, and Daybreak Forever is a single $3.99 purchase.

Can I move my data to a new phone?

Yes. Copy a plain-text backup of your goals, journal and reasons, then paste it back on the new device. Your day count comes with you.

Every day free is a sunrise.

Let’s get you back.
