It shows up at midnight, mid-scroll, mid-drive — when everyone who loves you is asleep and a meeting is nine hours away.
Anchor was built for exactly those minutes.
Quit drinking, vaping, smoking, gambling, weed, social media, adult content — or the pattern you name yourself. Track every addiction in one place, each with its own sober streak and its own story.
FREE, FOREVER — NO ADS, NO LIMITS
• A sobriety tracker for unlimited patterns at once — days sober, lifetime days, money saved
• Daily check-ins, a journal, and a calendar that tells each day's story
• "It's pulling at me" — one button for the moment it hits
• Guided box breathing that works with no signal
• A full audio library: follow-along breathwork, EFT tapping, urge surfing, sleep hypnosis, and ocean-backed rest
• Your Anchor — a private vault for your reasons, photos, and a message to your future self, kept on your phone
• Progress worth looking at: milestone rings, a 13-week grid, your hardest windows, triggers, and money saved
• Home-screen widgets, including one-tap craving help
• Crisis resources — 988, Crisis Text Line, SAMHSA — always one tap away, never behind a paywall, and they work offline
The list above isn't a trial — it's simply free, forever.
ONE BUTTON FOR THE WORST MINUTE
Press "It's pulling at me" and you get three ways through it, no typing required. Breathe it out. Look at your why — your own words, the faces you're staying steady for, a video message you recorded to yourself. Or talk it through with someone who's awake.
SHAME-FREE BY DESIGN
A slip or relapse restarts a clock, never your history. Lifetime days keep counting forever and past milestones stay earned. Coming back feels like continuing, not starting over — and that's built into how your data is stored, not just how the app talks to you.
JUNE & JACK — ANCHOR PREMIUM
June and Jack are AI addiction recovery companions. Not humans, not therapists, not sponsors — and Anchor never pretends otherwise. What they are is awake at 3am, and they know your story: your patterns, your streaks, your why, what you told them last time.
Premium adds:
• Live voice calls — real-time conversation, up to 3 hours a month, any hour of the night
• Text them anytime — 1,000 messages a month
• Voice journaling — speak your check-in and Anchor writes it up
• Your person — a short "still steady" note every Sunday to up to 3 people you choose, sharing only what you decide
• 10 GB of cloud backup so your history survives a new phone
Anchor Premium is $19.99/month or $149.99/year. The monthly plan starts with a 7-day free trial — try real calls and texts with June & Jack before you pay a cent (one trial per person; it converts to $19.99/month unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends). Everything in the free list stays free.
WHAT ANCHOR IS NOT
Anchor is a wellness companion, not therapy, counseling, or medical treatment, and it isn't a substitute for professional care. It doesn't diagnose or treat any condition, and it never gives detox or tapering advice — withdrawal symptoms are always routed to real care. If you're in crisis, Anchor points you to humans who can help, free, every time.
