Most drinking apps get in your own way
Changing your relationship with alcohol is hard enough without paywalls, feeds, and servers full of your most personal data. Drywell was built differently.
What people quit first: the app
- Expensive subscriptions that charge you month after month
- Accounts and cloud sync that put your drinking history on someone else's server
- Community feeds with social pressure and toxic comments
- Streak counters that reset to zero after one slip — as if nothing you did counted
Private, paid-once, shame-free
- Buy once, own forever — a single $4.99 purchase, no hidden costs
- No account, no cloud, no data collection — everything stays on your device
- No community drama — your recovery is yours alone
- Total alcohol-free days, not just the current streak — slips don't erase progress

One app, three ways to use it
Drywell supports dual modes — quitting completely or moderating — plus time-boxed challenges like Dry January.
Quitting completely
Follow the health recovery timeline from your first alcohol-free hour to a full year. Get day-by-day withdrawal guidance through the first week, lean on the SOS button when cravings hit, and watch total alcohol-free days grow — even if the road isn't perfectly straight.
Cutting back
Set a weekly drink limit in Moderation Mode. Limits reset automatically, and the app stays quiet unless you're approaching your cap — simple tracking without nagging. Trigger logging helps you notice when and why you drink more than you planned.
Dry January & challenges
Doing Dry January, Sober October, or your own 30-day reset? Track streaks and badges, plan for social events with strategy checklists, and see exactly how much money and how many calories your challenge saved you.
