Onward

A sobriety tracker, kept as a ship’s log.

Days without alcohol, counted not as a streak but as a voyage — with the true stories of the ports you pass, and a record that never leaves your phone.

The daily view

Your progress, as a passage at sea.

Open Onward and you’re at the helm. Days made good, the port ahead, the run still to make. Not a streak counter — a voyage you’re actually on.

The Helm — your day, at a glance

The idea

A voyage keeps what a streak throws away.

Every clear day is a day’s sailing.

Your days without alcohol carry you along a real voyage — Slocum’s Spray, Darwin’s Beagle, Shackleton’s Endurance. You’re always somewhere on the chart, always making way.

A hard day is weather, not failure.

Miss a day and you don’t lose the voyage — you meet weather, and sail on. Onward keeps everything you’ve already made good; the count of clear days holds, waiting for you to make way again.

Reaching a port unlocks its story.

Forty-one landfalls, each a real place with a true account of what happened there — sourced, not invented. Finish a voyage and you earn its passage log.

Along the way

Milestones that mean something.

Not badges for their own sake — honours tied to real distance made good.

It stays on your phone

No account. No sign-in. Nothing uploaded, nothing tracked, no ads — ever.

Honest by design

A log book, not treatment. It won’t congratulate you for things you didn’t do, or shame you for the days you missed.

Free, and staying free

No cost, no catch, no upsell, no premium tier. It’s free, and it will stay free.

Reading the weather

See the shape of how you’re going.

Charts that treat your days as a passage: a barometer of how steady it’s felt, salvage saved from the drink not taken, and a log you can look back through — honest about the weather days as much as the clear ones.

Onward wasn’t built to be sold. It was built by one person, for himself, because nothing else counted the days in a way he wanted to look at — and then made free, in case it counted for someone else too.

Still under construction.

If you need more than a log book. If drinking is causing you harm, or you’re finding it hard to stop, real people can help — and asking is not a failure of anything. If you’ve been drinking heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be medically dangerous; a doctor can help you come off safely.
