Addiction Recovery App
An addiction recovery app for the days between therapy
Therapy happens once a week. Anchor is for the other six days — the moments when a craving hits, a trigger lands, or you need a grounded next step before the spiral starts.
Built with people in early and long-term recovery, Anchor turns the daily work — check-ins, urges, repair, gratitude — into something you can actually do in three minutes a day.
Trigger tracker
Log triggers with severity, location, and context. Anchor surfaces the times, places, and feelings that come up most so you stop being surprised by them.
Emergency grounding
Box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 senses, a 3-minute urge surfing timer, and a one-tap link to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline when you need a human voice.
Daily planner
Categorized recovery tasks — physical, emotional, relational, spiritual — so the day has shape even when motivation is low.
Personalized AI coach
Share only what you want. The coach uses the journal entries, triggers, and scores you explicitly opt in to share, and never anything else.
Recovery score & streaks
Two scores — recovery and relationship — keep the picture honest. Streaks reward consistency, not perfection.
Therapy notes upload
Bring in worksheets and notes from your therapist. The coach can reference them so prompts match the work you're already doing.
Why a daily tool, not another tracker
Most recovery apps stop at a sober-day counter. That number matters, but it can't tell you what kind of week you're having, which triggers are creeping back, or whether the repair work with your partner is actually landing.
Anchor is built around the four things people in recovery tell us they need every day: a check-in that takes under a minute, a place to put the hard stuff, a real next step when an urge hits, and a coach who already knows the context.
What a day in Anchor looks like
- Morning: 60-second check-in — mood, sleep, intention for the day.
- Midday: log any triggers as they happen, with one tap.
- Hard moment: open the Emergency button for breathing, grounding, or urge surfing.
- Evening: a journal prompt and three appreciations — one for yourself, one for your partner if you have one, one for the day.
- Weekly: review patterns, adjust the plan, prep for your therapy session.
The next right thing is small. Start there.
You don't need a perfect day to start. You need one check-in, one honest entry, one grounded breath. Anchor will hold the rest.

Frequently asked questions
What does an addiction recovery app do?
It supports daily recovery practices — check-ins, journaling, trigger tracking, urge surfing, and a private coach — between therapy sessions so the work doesn't stall on the days you don't see your therapist.
Is Anchor for any addiction?
Anchor is designed for behavioral and substance recovery, including alcohol, drugs, pornography, gambling, and compulsive behaviors that affect relationships. The tools — triggers, urges, grounding, repair — are the same shape across all of them.
Does Anchor replace therapy?
No. Anchor is a daily companion that complements therapy, recovery groups, sponsors, and accountability partners. It is not a substitute for clinical care and is not a crisis service.
How is my data protected?
Your journal, trigger logs, and check-ins are private to your account. The AI coach only sees the categories you explicitly toggle on, and every request is logged so you can audit what was shared.
Can I use Anchor with a partner?
Yes. You can invite one partner into a shared space with shared goals, appreciations, and a connection counter. Everything else — journal, triggers, coach conversations — stays private to you.
How much does Anchor cost?
You can start free. Core daily tools — check-ins, journal, triggers, planner, emergency grounding — are included from day one.
Will Anchor work if I'm early in recovery?
Yes. The planner and emergency grounding tools are built for the first 90 days, when structure and a clear next step matter most.
