Sober Widget: Sobriety Counter

Sobriety Widget is a quiet day counter for your home screen, paired with short daily reflections from classic Stoic writing. Use it to keep track of a habit you are taking a break from, and to learn a little Stoic philosophy along the way. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone taking a break from something, such as alcohol, nicotine, gambling, social media, sugar or a habit of your own, who wants a simple counter and something thoughtful to read each day. You name each counter yourself. YOUR DAY COUNT, AT A GLANCE Add a widget and your day number is always there, updating by itself daily. No need to open the app. • Four widget sizes, from a tiny day number to a larger card with today’s reflection • Shows how far it is to your next milestone • Counts calendar days, or full 24-hour days if you prefer • Keep several counters, each with its own name LEARN FROM THE STOICS Each day pairs a short passage from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus or Seneca with a brief original reflection written in plain, everyday language. • Passages come from public-domain translations by George Long, Aubrey Stewart and Thomas Lodge • Every passage shows its author, work, section and translator, so you can read further • Themes include desire, self-control, habit, freedom, the present moment and getting back on track • The tone is warm and plain: no lectures, no slogans The Stoics wrote about attention, desire and choice nearly two thousand years ago, and their words still read clearly today. Each reflection is a short invitation to think, not an instruction. Read one in under a minute, or follow the reference to the full text. YOUR OWN TOOLKIT FOR HARD MOMENTS One tap opens a calm screen with simple tools you set up yourself: • A ten-minute timer to help you pause before acting • The reasons you wrote down for making this change • A button to call someone you trust (it opens your dialer; it never calls by itself) • A short Stoic passage to read NOTICE YOUR MILESTONES Mark the first day, the first week, the first month and every year after, with a short message and an optional share card. You can also set milestones of your own. STARTING AGAIN IS OKAY If you reset a counter, your history stays. Every day you counted still counts. There are no lost-streak warnings and no guilt. CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF Log how strong cravings feel and how your mood is, add a short note, and look back over your history whenever you like. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything stays on your phone: no account and no sign-up • Discreet mode: widgets and notifications show only the day number, never what you are counting • Optional app lock with a PIN or your fingerprint • Export your data to a file you choose, and import it on a new phone • Notifications are off until you turn them on GOOD TO KNOW This app is for general education and personal reflection.
