Remedy centers on dated substance records and journal context. I Am Sober centers on daily commitments and sobriety milestones. Both now offer community features, so community alone does not distinguish them.
Written by the team that makes Remedy. We checked official product descriptions and Remedy's current implementation. This is an editorial comparison, not a clinical study or an independent security audit. Our recommendations describe a match between features and recording needs; they do not rank treatment outcomes.
Remedy: a record of each day
Remedy records use and confirmed no-use days across substances, with a calendar and journal context. Entries use dosage levels; you can put a measured amount or product details in a note. Those levels do not calculate a safe dose or replace a drink-unit calculator. Remedy also has Community. Local tracking and information you choose to post to Community have different sharing implications.
Keep your daily record with Remedy
Record use, no-use days and journal context in one place.
I Am Sober: commitments and milestones
I Am Sober describes daily pledges, milestone tracking and communities around sobriety. Its App Store listing also describes notes and triggers. The paid Sober Plus offering includes options such as private groups, an app lock and cloud backup. Check the current plan and platform before relying on any feature.
Consider this approach if a recurring commitment and other people's experiences help you organize your day. Community experiences are personal accounts; they do not predict your withdrawal course or replace clinical advice.
How to choose
Try Remedy if you want to review use and no-use days with context across substances. Try I Am Sober if a daily pledge and milestones are central to your routine. Neither recommendation means one app has demonstrated better recovery outcomes.
See the multi-substance comparison for other recording approaches, or the alcohol comparison for drink-focused tools.
Try the record you actually need
- Enter a use day and a no-use day, then correct a mistake.
- Check whether the fields preserve your substances, units and context.
- Review device storage, account sync, community visibility and deletion settings.
- Check current local subscription terms, export options and cancellation before paying.
A tracking app is not a diagnosis, treatment plan or emergency service. If you need help with withdrawal or other health concerns, ask a qualified health professional about appropriate care.
