Onward
A sobriety tracker, kept as a ship’s log.
Days without alcohol, counted as a voyage across real historical seas — with the true stories of the ports you pass, and a record that never leaves your phone.
Where this has got to
Onward is being built and tested. A small private beta is coming — if you’d like to be part of it, or you just want to know when it’s ready, get in touch below.
Five voyages, sailed a day at a time. Currently: somewhere off the Azores.
What it is
Your days without alcohol carry you along a real voyage — Slocum's Spray, Darwin's Beagle, Shackleton's Endurance. A hard day is weather, not failure: the voyage keeps everything you've already made good.
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: the history, set against your own crossing.
No account. No sign-in. Nothing uploaded, nothing tracked, no ads, ever. Onward runs entirely on your own device — which also means the record is yours to keep, and yours to lose, so it will nag you gently to save a copy.
Onward was built by one person, for himself, because nothing else counted the days in a way he wanted to look at. It's free, and it will stay free.
It's a log book, not treatment, and it isn't written by a clinician. It won't tell you you're doing badly, and it won't congratulate you for things you didn't do.
