I Am Sober, Nomo, Quitzilla, and Reclaim: choose by the support gap
You can open four recovery apps and see four different ideas of support: a pledge, a clock, a savings tracker, or a record of what happened before the slip.
Reclaim is made by KintsuLabs, the publisher of this site. This article does not score apps. It compares public feature focus and the moment each app appears designed to support.
Start with the gap you keep hitting
| App | Publicly visible focus | May fit when | Check before choosing |
|---|---|---|---|
| I Am Sober | Sobriety tracking, milestones, daily pledges, community support | You want a daily ritual and people working on similar goals | Whether the community, privacy model, and paid features fit your situation |
| Nomo | Sobriety clocks, shared clocks, accountability partners, reset notifications, chips, privacy lock | You want another person or a shared clock involved in the routine | Whether sharing clocks or partner alerts feels supportive rather than exposing |
| Quitzilla | Habit counters, savings, goals, rewards, diary, statistics | Money saved and visible statistics help you stay oriented | Whether a motivation-heavy tracker is enough during urges or relapse risk |
| Reclaim | Daily check-ins, mood and trigger logs, relapse context, SOS 4-7-8 breathing, AI coach, Kintsugi ranks | You need context after hard days: mood, trigger, urge, response, next step | Whether you want a self-tracking tool rather than a treatment program |

The hard hour matters more than the feature list
A counter is useful when losing track is the problem. A community is useful when isolation is the problem. A partner alert is useful when you have someone safe to involve. Savings can help when the habit has a clear money trail.
The difficult case is the hour after a slip, a skipped check-in, or an urge that kept coming back. If your app only makes you reset a timer, you may lose the information you needed: time, trigger, mood, location, and what would make tomorrow safer.
That is where a record-based tool can help. Reclaim focuses on check-ins, mood scores, trigger tags, journal entries, SOS breathing, and relapse context. It is a better fit for people who want to review patterns, not for people who need a clinical program inside an app.
Run a one-week test before switching
Pick one need and test one app against it for seven days.
- If your need is a daily ritual, test the pledge or check-in flow.
- If your need is another person, test sharing or partner features.
- If your need is motivation, test savings, goals, or rewards.
- If your need is relapse context, test whether the app helps you record what happened without hiding it.
Do not switch apps because a comparison page made one look more polished. Switch when the tool changes the moment that keeps going wrong.
When an app is the wrong layer
No app in this comparison replaces a doctor, therapist, emergency service, medication plan, or structured treatment. If you face dangerous withdrawal, overdose risk, suicidal thoughts, intoxication, self-harm risk, or repeated relapses you cannot interrupt, use professional or emergency support first.
If your main gap is honest self-tracking after hard days, Reclaim may fit. If your main gap is community, partner accountability, or money-based motivation, one of the other tools may fit better.
