Tracking your days

6 questions

How do Daily confirmation and Automatic differ?

With Daily confirmation, you confirm each alcohol-free day. Automatic assumes eligible unrecorded days are alcohol-free unless you record that you drank. You can change your counting style in Settings; the change starts on its effective date and does not rewrite earlier days.

What if I miss a daily check-in?

In Daily confirmation, a completed day without a check-in stays unrecorded and starts a fresh trail. Your earlier alcohol-free days and history remain. You can open Calendar to record or correct a past day.

What happens if I have a drink?

You can record the day as a lapse or a relapse. Neither counts as an alcohol-free day. A lapse keeps the current trail going; a relapse starts a new trail. Your earlier days, best streak, and history remain visible.

Can I correct an earlier day?

Yes. Calendar lets you review and change past days. If a change affects progress or a medallion, SoberTrail explains the consequence before saving it.

Can I use SoberTrail for a month without drinking?

Yes. You can set a personal commitment length and choose today or a past start date. There is no separate challenge mode; Calendar keeps your record if you decide to continue after the month.

Can I track another substance or habit?

SoberTrail is designed for alcohol-free days. It is not a general habit counter or a tracker for other substances.

Progress and estimates

3 questions

How are estimated savings calculated?

SoberTrail uses your typical alcohol spend and the alcohol-free days resolved by your counting style. Changing that baseline recalculates the estimate for your journey. It is an approximation, not a record of actual spending or an account balance.

Does a fresh start erase my earlier progress?

No. A fresh start changes your current trail, but earlier alcohol-free days, your best streak, and valid earned medallions stay in your history. Correcting an earlier day can change a medallion if that day no longer supports it.

What are medallions?

Medallions mark alcohol-free day thresholds reached on a qualifying trail. A lapse or an unrecorded day does not advance a threshold. You can revisit earned medallions in Your Trail.

Privacy and your record

4 questions

Do I need an account?

No account is required for your personal record. Your entries, notes, and settings are stored on your device. Purchase management, optional product analytics, and optional feedback use separate services described in the Privacy Policy.

Does SoberTrail work offline?

You can record and review your local tracking history without a network connection. Purchases and optional feedback or developer chat use online services.

Can I sync or move my record to another phone?

Version 1 has no cross-device sync or import. You can export human-readable CSV and versioned JSON files, but those files are not an in-app restore or transfer flow.

What happens to my record if I delete the app?

Your authoritative record is stored on your device. Deleting the app may remove it, and SoberTrail does not provide a restorable cloud backup. Export a copy before deleting the app if you want to keep a readable record.
