When one drink isn’t really one drink
That generous glass of wine or strong craft beer can easily be closer to two and a half “actual” drinks. Log drinks quickly, just the way you have them, and DrinkControl turns each one into alcohol units (standard drinks), so you finally see what’s really happening. No guesswork, and no judgement.
Your goal, your pace
Cutting back, taking a break or going alcohol-free – you decide. The Today screen shows how you’re doing today, this week and this month, guided by trusted moderate (low-risk) drinking guidelines (US, UK, Canada, Australia, WHO and more).
Change starts with noticing
So many of our users say it all began with simply writing down what they drank, honestly. Your 7- and 30-day totals show how you’re doing and roll forward day by day – there’s no “clean slate” every Monday.
Keep yourself accountable
Every day gets a color: green for alcohol-free days, blue for days within your limits, violet and red for the days that went further. It’s not about being perfect – it’s about seeing the bigger picture and making a decision.
Take the next step when you’re ready
Skip a drink (or two), or stay dry for a day (or a week). Stay on track by limiting the number of drinks (alcohol units), the calories from alcohol, or the money you spend/save – whichever motivates you most.
Celebrate your sober days
Mark an alcohol-free day with a single tap, enjoy a little confetti, and watch your streak grow. Many users say keeping the line green quickly becomes their favorite part.
Small changes add up
Gentle charts show how much you drink, what it costs, and how many calories it adds. Compare with the previous period and watch the trend line move in the right direction. Add home screen widgets showing your current or longest sober streak, trend line or calendar grid.
You don’t have to do it alone
Save or share your progress, statistics and infographics with a friend, a coach or your doctor. DrinkControl also syncs with Apple Health, so your drinks sit alongside the rest of your wellbeing metrics.
Private by design
Your journey is yours. Everything you log in the app stays only on your phone – we never store or see it on our servers. No third-party ads in the app.

"I have been drinking since high school and tried to reduce for many years, but once I used this app it became clear that I could not "limit myself" to "just one drink."
I realized I had a problem and with the help of my loved ones I stopped. My mind has never been more clear than it is now and I am finally meeting my fitness goals.
I know just an app may not be enough, but seeing the numbers add up on this one was enough for me to decide to make a change. Thank you DrinkControl!"
