Three honest promises

Most sobriety apps hide the price, lock the urge toolkit behind a paywall, and erase your progress after a setback. Tidepull doesn’t.

Urge help is always free

The urge flow — a calming delay timer, your personal “why,” and a journal entry from the last time you were in this situation — is free forever, for everyone, with no account required. No paywall, no entitlement check, ever. This is the feature competitors charge you to use in the moment you need it most.

Price before any question

Tidepull shows you $9.99/mo or $59.99/yr before it asks you a single onboarding question. No 10-screen quiz leading to a surprise paywall. The price is shown up front because honesty extends to the funnel, not just the app.

A relapse never erases your progress

A logged drink adds one entry — it never erases the ones before it. Your cumulative sober days are derived from an append-only history and shown beside your current streak, always. A bad day does not reset your total. There is no “start over.”

Built for real life, not perfect streaks

Log what happened, get help in the moment, and watch your history grow — even the days that don’t go as planned.

1

Daily Check-in

A brief log of how your day went. One drink logged is one entry — your history is always yours, nothing erased.

2

Urge Flow

Tap when an urge hits. A delay timer, your own “why,” and a matching journal entry appear immediately — no sign-up, no paywall.

3

Journal Freely

Write without prompts. Tidepull quietly remembers what helped you and resurfaces it when a similar situation comes up again.

4

See Your Progress

Current streak and cumulative sober days, always together. Savings tracking based on what you used to spend. Your full history, exportable for free.

Everything you need, without the dark patterns

No streak-loss shame, no mascot that judges you, no gamified pressure. Just honest tools for the moment you need them.

Urge Flow

One tap when an urge hits: a calming delay timer, the personal reason you wrote down when you were thinking clearly, and a relevant past journal entry. Free forever, no entitlement check.

Day Counter & Cumulative Days

Your current streak and total sober days across every attempt — shown together, always, not just after a setback. A relapse doesn’t reset your cumulative history.

Journal with Memory

Write freely — no prompts, just a blank page. Tidepull resurfaces past entries when a similar situation arises: “Last time you were stressed after work, you wrote…”

Savings Tracking

Tell Tidepull what you used to spend per week. It shows a running savings figure beside your streak — a real number from your own input, not a guess.

Crisis Resources

Verified helplines for 12 regions, one tap from every screen, always free, no account required. Never gated behind a paywall or an upsell interstitial.

Pattern-Finding Premium

What tends to precede an urge or a drink for you specifically? Tidepull finds correlations across your logs and check-ins — personal patterns, not generic advice.

Doctor & Therapist Report Premium

A structured summary you can share before an appointment — your check-in history, pattern findings, and urge log, formatted for a conversation with a professional.

Structured Program Premium

A phased program that advances as you show up for it — never a fixed calendar, never tapering advice. Progresses at your pace.

Common questions

Is the urge toolkit really free?
Yes, always. The delay timer, your personal “why,” and journal resurfacing are free for everyone, forever, on every screen. There is no paywall, no sign-up, and no entitlement check anywhere on the urge-flow path — now or in the future.
What happens when I have a setback?
A logged drink adds one entry. It never erases what came before it. Your cumulative sober days are derived from an append-only history and always shown next to your current streak. A bad day does not reset your progress, and the app never says “start over.”
Why is the price shown before the onboarding questionnaire?
Because most sobriety apps hide the price behind 8–12 onboarding screens, then charge you after you’ve already invested time answering questions. Tidepull shows you $9.99/month or $59.99/year before it asks anything. If the price doesn’t work for you, you lose 10 seconds, not 20 minutes.
Is this a medical or treatment app?
No. Tidepull is a self-directed tracking and support tool for people who want to drink less or stop entirely. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose alcohol use disorder, and does not provide medical, tapering, or withdrawal advice. If you have medical concerns, please speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
Is my data private?
Everything Tidepull knows about you is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, and no data sharing. You can export your full history for free at any time.
What if I’m not sure I “have a problem”?
Tidepull is for grey-area drinkers — people who drink more than they’d like, or find it harder to stop than they expected, but don’t identify with recovery-program language. The app doesn’t require you to label yourself or commit to permanent sobriety. You define what success looks like.

Ride the wave.
It always goes back out.

Free urge help. Price shown up front. Progress that never resets.
