Day one counts
One question, each evening.
From 7 pm, Home asks “Did you drink today?” Answer, and the count takes care of itself. Today is day one. Tomorrow is day two.

When a craving hits
Ride out a craving in ten minutes.
Cravings tend to rise, peak and fade, like a wave. Tap Hard moment on Home and Outpost starts a ten-minute timer with a slow breathing guide: in for four, out for six. You notice the craving without acting on it, and watch it pass.
- Your whyYour own reasons for stopping, written on a calmer day, right there when you need them.
- Your planIf-then plans for the times you find hardest, like Friday after work. Outpost can send your plan just before.
- Play it forwardPicture tonight if you drink, and how it ends. Then picture waking up tomorrow without it.
- Talk to someone nowFree helplines for your region, one tap away.
Hard moment and Get help stay free for everyone, even after the trial.

Your sober milestones, mapped out.
The Route tab lays out five outposts on one dotted trail: one week, two weeks, one month, three months, six months. Each one has its date, a slim bar and the days to go. Reach one after an evening check-in and it gets its own moment, and a card to share if you want to.

The Guidebook
Know what to expect.
Forty short reads on sleep, mood, cravings, nights out, telling people and getting support, each a few minutes long. The Guidebook opens on what many people notice around the day you’re on, and health facts link to their sources, including the NHS, the World Health Organization and Cancer Research UK.

General information in plain language, never medical advice. The readings on the first days and on stopping safely say it plainly: if you drink heavily, talk to a doctor before you stop.

Stay sober, unlock new scenes.
Home sits on a painting. Two come with the app and follow your phone: sunrise by day, the night lake after dark. More are earned at outposts. They unlock by your longest streak, so a slip never takes one away.
Home’s Next location card shows the next one, blurred, with the days to go.

See what staying sober saves.
Tell Outpost roughly how many drinks a typical week held, and what one cost. It spreads that over every sober day, earlier streaks included, so a slip doesn’t wipe it. The currency comes from your phone’s region and stays put.

A little company along the way.
Turn on Encouragement and Outpost plans a few quiet notes ahead: a morning line with your day count, a nudge the night before an outpost, and a Sunday recap. They’re local notifications, written on the phone. Nothing is sent from a server.

When it’s harder than a tracker
Get help is always one tap from Settings and the Guidebook: emergency advice and free helplines for your region. Stopping heavy drinking suddenly can be dangerous, so talk to a doctor first.
Personal means personal
It stays on this phone.
Your start date, check-ins, notes, plans and spending live in a small database on your iPhone. There’s no Outpost account, and the app doesn’t talk to an Outpost server, so there’s nothing of yours for us to read, lose or sell. Turn on Lock with Face ID and nobody else can open it either.
Subscriptions go through Apple, and RevenueCat checks them with an anonymous id. Neither sees your notes or your days. The waitlist on this site keeps only your email, until the launch offer ends. Read the privacy policy.

Questions
Before you set off.
How is the day count worked out?
Calendar days from your start date through today, counting today. A start date of today is day one. It moves at local midnight, and checking in doesn’t change it; it just records how the day went.
What happens if I drink?
Answer Yes and your streak starts again tomorrow, with tomorrow as day one. Your longest streak is kept, the total days on the trail never reset, money saved still counts every sober day, and any location you’ve earned stays yours. There’s an optional note for the day, and it never calls it a failure.
What do I do when a craving hits?
Tap Hard moment under the check-in on Home. You get a ten-minute wave with a breathing guide, your reasons for stopping, the plan you made earlier, and helplines if you need a person. It’s free for everyone, with or without a subscription.
Can I lock the app?
Yes. Turn on Lock with Face ID in Settings and Outpost asks for Face ID each time it opens or comes back from the background. iOS does the check; Outpost never sees your face data.
What if I forget to check in?
Outpost catches up. Next time you open it, Home asks about yesterday, then any other day you missed this past week, oldest first. A No records the day; a Yes on an earlier day restarts the streak from the day after it. You can skip them, and days you skip count as sober.
Are there widgets?
Yes. Small and medium Home Screen widgets show your count on your painting, the next outpost and money saved. Lock screen widgets come as a ring, a rectangle or one line. They say “Day 12 on the trail” unless you turn on Say “sober” on the lock screen in Settings → Privacy.
Do I need an account?
No. The app has no account and nothing to sign up for, and it stores everything on your iPhone. Purchases are tied to your Apple ID, so Restore purchases works on a new phone. The waitlist on this site is separate and optional: it keeps only your email, to tell you when Outpost launches, until the launch offer ends. Joining sends one confirmation from hey@outpostsober.app. Reply to that email, or write to support@outpostsober.app, to leave the list.
How does the launch offer work?
It’s 50% off your first 3 months of Outpost Pro Monthly on iPhone and Android: £4.99 a month for 3 months, then £9.99 a month. It’s for new subscribers, renews automatically, and you can cancel anytime in your App Store or Google Play settings.
iPhone: join the waitlist and we’ll email your personal code at launch. You’ll get a short confirmation when you join; the code itself comes later, in that launch email, and expires one week after we email it. Redeem your code first, then open Outpost: if you subscribe or start a free trial before redeeming it, the code can’t be used.
Android: the launch price applies automatically on Google Play, so there’s no code. We don’t have an Android date yet; join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it’s there.
What if I get a new phone?
Your records live on the device, so they travel the way your other app data does: in an iPhone backup or when you move to a new iPhone with Apple’s transfer. Outpost doesn’t keep a copy, so it can’t restore one for you.
Is it medical advice?
No. The Guidebook is general information in plain language, and the app is a tool for reflection. If you drink heavily, stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Talk to a doctor. Helplines are here.
How do I cancel?
On your iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Outpost. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel a subscription. More on the support page.
