I made Sober not Sorry, a clean and simple iOS tracker to help quit bad habits — alcohol, smoking, or anything else. Open it → log your start date → it tracks your streak. No ads, no sign-up, no subscriptions. I built it because most “sober” apps felt cluttered or too motivational. This one just quietly tracks progress and stays out of the way. Would love feedback — especially from people who use streak or sobriety trackers.

Really neat! I appreciate the out of the way, ad-free nature of the app.

After looking at it, a few pieces of feedback and a request:

-on the Health tab it cuts the title off (iPhone 15PM here) to say “how your health improv..”

-I would really like to be able to label my own custom tracker. Right now I have two that both say “habit free” which means nothing once you have multiple.

-Perhaps the above custom label request solves this one, but I think it’s too limiting a list to choose from. Smoking, for example- there are a loooot of ways to consume nicotine.

-I’d really love to be able to reset the counter when I stumble, but have a log in the counter of prior streaks to be proud of.

-I’m not exactly sure how this would look, but I’d absolutely use a feature that allowed you to count how many times you use nicotine in a day, for example, to aim for a lower number of uses the following day or week.

I love this idea, take or leave the feedback as you will; nice work!!

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!
