No ads. No trial that runs out. No card. Sober Living Companion is a charitable program of Empower Next Project, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 39-3580172). Count your sober days, find your next meeting, and reach help when you need it — without paying a cent.
These lines are free, confidential, and answered around the clock by real people. You do not have to be in crisis to call — "I'm not sure what to do next" is reason enough.
If someone's life is in immediate danger, call 911.
Not streaks and badges for their own sake. The app does a short list of concrete things well.
Your day count, always there when you open the app. On the mornings when it doesn't feel like you've gotten anywhere, the number is a fact you can look at. It doesn't care whether you feel like it's true.
Find a meeting near you and check in when you get there, using your phone's location. Your attendance is recorded as you go — no paper slip to lose, no chasing someone for a signature afterward.
One button, on purpose. A craving at 2 a.m. is not the moment to go hunting through menus. It's there so that reaching for help is the easiest thing your thumb can do.
See what you're responsible for around the house and when it's due, so nothing turns into a surprise conflict with your housemates or your manager.
Read and sign your house agreements right on your phone, and keep your own copy. You always know what you agreed to, because you can pull it up.
Pay what you owe your house from your phone and have a record of it. No cash handoffs, no arguments later about what was paid and when.
Download it and the sober-day counter and meeting finder work — whether you're in a sober living home, living with family, coming out of treatment, or just counting your first week on your own.
You don't need an invitation. You don't need a house. You don't need to explain yourself to anyone.
Some features only come alive when your sober living home uses Sober Living Companion: house responsibilities, e-signed agreements, and paying membership fees. Those connect to a specific house, so there has to be a house on the other end.
We'd rather tell you that up front than have you download it and feel misled. If your home doesn't use it, the counter and the meeting finder are still yours.
Most "free" recovery apps are free the way a free trial is free. They sell your attention to advertisers, or they hold your own day count behind a subscription and wait for you to crack. Recovery is hard enough without a paywall on the third bad Tuesday in a row.
Sober Living Companion is a program of Empower Next Project, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 39-3580172). We have no investors and no ad networks, so there's no one to squeeze. Sober living homes pay a flat membership for the management tools they need to stay open, and those memberships — along with donations — fund the rest of our work: rent assistance for people in early recovery, free transitional counseling, and this app.
That's the whole model. The homes and our donors pay so that residents never have to. A missed rent payment or an unaffordable app should not be the thing that ends someone's recovery.
What you put in this app — your day count, your meetings, your house — is some of the most personal information you have. Being in recovery is not something you should have to risk explaining to an employer, a landlord, or a stranger who bought a data set.
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest with bank-level encryption, and residents control their own accounts. If you want to leave, you can delete your account — the link is in the footer of every page on this site, and we don't make you call anyone to do it.
The counter helps. The meetings are what the counter is counting. If you're looking for a room to walk into, these are the real, free places to start.
aa.org/find-aa — Alcoholics Anonymous' own meeting finder, including online meetings.
findtreatment.gov and samhsa.gov — official federal resources for treatment and support.
We're not affiliated with any of these organizations. We list them because they're free, real, and they work.
Yes. The app is free to download and free to use, with no ads, no trial period, no subscription, and no card required. Sober Living Companion is a program of Empower Next Project, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 39-3580172). Residents are never asked to pay for their own recovery tools.
No. Anyone can download the app and use the sober-day counter and the meeting finder. Some features — house responsibilities, e-signed agreements, and paying membership fees — only come alive when your sober living home uses Sober Living Companion, because they connect to your house.
It counts your sober days, helps you find meetings and check in to them by GPS, keeps track of your house responsibilities, lets you e-sign agreements and pay membership fees, and gives you a crisis "I need help now" button that connects you to help fast.
There is no catch. Empower Next Project is a non-profit with no investors and no ad networks. Sober living homes pay a flat membership for management tools, and that revenue — along with donations — funds rent assistance, free transitional counseling, and the free app. The people in recovery are the ones we serve, not the ones we bill.
Recovery data is sensitive, and we treat it that way. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest with bank-level encryption, and residents control their own accounts. You can read the full Privacy Policy, and you can delete your account at any time.
Yes. Sober Living Companion is available free on the Apple App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
It's free, it stays free, and you can start counting today. If you'd rather talk to a person first, call us — a real human answers.
