That’s a really good point — I agree the preset list feels too limited once you start customizing. Custom habit names and the option to remove irrelevant ones are both on my roadmap. I want the app to adapt to personal goals, not force everyone into the same categories. Thanks for the suggestion!


Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your incredible perspective — 45 years clean is truly inspiring, and I really appreciate you taking the time to give this feedback. I completely understand and agree with your point: for true addiction, there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all solution, and an app alone can’t replace the deep personal work and support that’s often needed.

My goal with this app has always been to be a tool — not a “silver bullet” — that can help people build self‑discipline, track progress, and stay mindful of their goals, much like fitness trackers do. I’m happy to hear you think it could be useful for the majority of people dealing with habits, and I really value the reminder that it’s about supporting hard work, not replacing it.

Thanks again for your encouragement — it means a lot coming from someone with your experience.


Thank you so much for taking the time to share this — really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and kind words! I'm glad you’re enjoying the ad‑free experience. The cut‑off title is definitely a bug (thanks for catching that); I’ll make sure it’s fixed in the next update. Custom tracker labels are already on my to‑do list, and your note about the limited options — especially for things like nicotine — makes perfect sense. I also really like your idea of saving past streaks after a reset and counting daily uses to track progress over time. Those features fit beautifully with where I want to take the app.

Thanks again for the encouraging feedback — it genuinely helps shape the roadmap!


If you break your streak, the counter just starts again from day zero — no guilt trips, no judgment. The idea is to focus on progress, not perfection. You can reset your counter anytime from the counters edit screen.


That’s amazing — 20 years sober is truly inspiring! I quit smoking 281 days ago and drinking 240 days ago, and your story really motivates me to keep going. Thanks for sharing and for checking out the app!


That’s awesome progress! Keep going, you might lose some friends or people along the way but health is more important when you get older.

I’ve read that lungs will heal back to its non-smoker state slowly but surely.


Thanks for the note! The app is made with care for people everywhere, regardless of where it’s built. And yes — there are other apps out there, but I wanted to create something simple, ad-free, and focused purely on supporting your journey.


Appreciate your point but I am sure you can relate to my concern that there is a good chance you will monetize it, and pay taxes that will be used to build missiles.


Seriously, for your own mental well being, drop this crusade on the thread and go touch some grass.


Thanks! I really appreciate it — and yes, I’m planning to release the Android version next year.


Is there any way to get notified if/when an Android app becomes available?

Great work, app looks great!


Thanks a lot! I really want to release the Android version too — if you drop me a message at hello@sobernotsorry.app, I’ll let you know as soon as it’s out
