About

What we believe

Three things, plainly:

Privacy is not optional in recovery. People who most need a tracking tool are often the same people for whom the existence of such a tool elsewhere (visible in an account, syncable to a partner’s device, leakable by a breach) is itself a barrier to using one. We don’t think that’s a tradeoff users should be asked to make.

Restraint is respect. We don’t gamify recovery. We don’t push notifications urging you back. We don’t reward streaks with badges. The app is dignified because the work is dignified, and we’d rather under-deliver on engagement than over-deliver on noise.

Code, not promises. “We don’t sell your data” is what every privacy policy says. We’ve built so that the data isn’t ours to sell. The encryption key never leaves your device. The data never reaches our servers, because there are no relevant servers.

How we built it

Local SQLite. AES on-device. Expo SecureStore for the key. Optional biometric lock. Optional privacy screen overlay. No accounts. No telemetry. No analytics. The app is open about what it does and doesn’t do. See the Methodology and Privacy & Security pages for the technical details.

Who builds this

against. is built by a small independent team. We don’t disclose individual contributors here because the topic is sensitive and team members deserve the same privacy we extend to users. Inquiries about partnership, clinical collaboration, or coverage: [email protected].

What this is not

against. is not a treatment program, not a 12-step framework, not a religious tool, not affiliated with any of those. It is a self-monitoring app. We have opinions about recovery; we keep them to ourselves on this site, except where they explain why we built the app the way we did.
