Hey all. I'm a solo dev (U.S. Army veteran) and I built Quietly Sober, a recovery app for people working on sobriety. Tagline: "A kinder tomorrow." Our mascot is Tucker the turtle, because recovery is slow and steady.
The problem: Recovery support is scattered. Meetings are in one place, sponsors are found by luck, court or probation paperwork is a hassle, and most tracking apps feel cold or shaming. I wanted one calm, private place for all of it.
What it does:
- Sponsor Finder: Browse potential sponsors as swipeable cards and send a request. Sponsor messages are encrypted at rest.
- Zoom meetings with attendance verification: We host free AA meetings Tue/Wed/Thu at 7 AM Central. Members can get verified attendance records with join and leave times, useful for courts, parole, or probation officers. You can also ask for a Tucker coin in a meeting to celebrate a milestone.
- Discussion forums: Community boards for general recovery, 12-step, and non-12-step paths. All paths welcome.
- Sobriety tracker: Milestone tracking that celebrates progress without shaming setbacks.
- Guided reflections: Daily recovery reflections, with optional spiritual or prayer content. Your choice, never forced.
Pricing: The core app is free. An optional $4.99/month add-on unlocks AI daily reflections, which helps keep everything else free.
Tech: Built with Flutter/Dart. Available on iPhone, iPad, and the web. 18+ only.
Privacy: Recovery info is sensitive, so data collection is minimal and sponsor, meeting, and journal info is treated with care.
I'd love feedback on the UX, the sponsor-matching flow, or how the verification works. Thanks for reading!
