There are lots of drink tracker apps out there. Some allow you to track or count dry days (‘sobriety apps’) and some allow you to track your units (‘unit trackers’). The Try Dry app combines both functions and more.

Easy to calculate your units

Tell the app what you drank, and it will calculate the units for you.

It even allows you to set certain drinks as ‘favourites’ to avoid having to re-enter the same information each time. 

Personalise your goals

Choose from pre-set goals or customise your own goal and set any goal you can think of. For example:

  • Dry until your birthday?
  • Never drink on weekdays (except one on Wednesday after football)?
  • A maximum number of units per week?

All these goals, and millions more, are possible.

‘Drank as planned’

Most apps only offer 2 status updates - drank or dry.

The Try Dry apps offers a third category - drank as planned. This is vital for those of us who want to control our drinking without going completely alcohol-free.

Find out how much you're saving

The app lets you unlock the number of calories and money you have saved by taking control of your drinking. You can view them for the week, month, year and all time total.

Friendly daily nudge

Receive a daily notification prompting you to track your drinking.

Interactive calendar

The calendar provides an at-a-glance summary of how your month is going and allows you to click on a date and edit your entry.

Badges

Try Dry awards you with a wide range of badges, based on your achievements. 

Find out your drinking risk

Complete a simple, 3-question quiz every couple of months and find out your drinking risk and if this has changed.
