Frequently Asked Questions

Accountable is a powerful sobriety mobile app that combines three core features to help you take control of your drinking: an intuitive Alcohol Tracker, an AI coach named Amy, and a supportive Community of peers on similar journeys.

Whether you want to quit drinking forever, cut back on consumption, or take a break for a fixed period (like Sober October), our stop drinking app provides the drink control tools and insights you need to succeed.

Getting started with Accountable is super simple:

1. Download Accountable from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store
2. Choose your goal (quit drinking forever, cut back, or temporary break) and answer a few questions to personalize your experience
3. Check In each day to build your sobriety streak
4. In addition to our Alcohol Tracker, you'll meet Amy, your AI coach and engage with the Community for support and motivation

The app is free to download and use, with Pro features available for users looking to maximize their success. Pro features include enhanced analytics, unlimited AI coaching and unlimited Community interactions.

Absolutely! Our alcohol tracker works in three modes to match your specific goal:

• Quit Forever: For those who want to stop drinking permanently
• Cut Back: For reducing alcohol consumption to healthier levels
• Temporary Break: For challenges like Dry January or Sober October

Each mode provides tailored support from Amy (your AI coach), relevant community connections, and tracking features designed specifically for your quit drinking journey.

The app includes features specifically for sobriety tracking, including streak counters, milestone celebrations, achievements that can be unlocked and motivational tools to help you stay alcohol-free.

Our Alcohol Tracker uses a unique daily check-in system that you can configure to your schedule:

• Daily Check-ins: Review and log the previous day each morning (or at your preferred time)
• Three Tracking Modes: Adapts whether you're trying to quit drinking forever, cut back, or take a temporary break
• Mood Tracking: Record your mood directly in a Daily Check-In, along with any custom notes. You can see your custom notes over time in the form of a Visual Check-In Diary
• Smart Analytics: Automatically calculates alcohol units, money saved, calories avoided, and progress toward your goals
• Visual Progress: See your patterns with charts and insights that help with drink control
• Amy Integration: Your AI coach provides personalized feedback based on your tracking data

Our Alcohol Tracker allows you to track the number of drinks consumed in each Daily Check-In. The Tracker also uses the answers you provided during set up to calculate things like calories avoided (which for example, will differ for a beer vs a cocktail).

At any time if you want to change your drink baseline, you can reset your Alcohol Tracker, answer the setup questions again to form a new baseline, and re-establish your preferences.

We use industry-standard alcohol unit calculations based on drink volume and alcohol percentage. Our database includes verified information for common drinks, and we regularly update our calculations to ensure accuracy for your drink control journey.

No problem! We can help you catch up. You will see a list of overdue Daily Check-Ins at the top of your Alcohol Tracker. This will allow you to:

• Log drinks from previous days
• Edit or update previous entries
• View your tracking consistency to build better habits

Additionally, you can edit the values of any previous Daily Check-Ins and see your tracking data update in real-time.
