Rooted
Because starting over shouldn't mean starting from zero.
Most sobriety apps are a number and a reset button. Rooted is something you grow. Your clean time becomes a living plant across 100 frames, seed to bloom, and every daily check-in waters it. Slip and it is pruned, never deleted: you lose some growth, then it regrows at double speed, and everything you have written stays. The streak forgives two missed days a month. Tending something that visibly needs you turns out to be a better reason to show up than a number that can erase itself.
Hey PH 👋
I built Rooted after hitting the same wall in every sobriety tracker I
tried: relapse sends you back to day zero and wipes out what you built.
That design decides your worst day is also the day you lose everything, and I think it is why a lot of people delete these apps and never reopen them.
Rooted works differently. Your clean time grows a plant across 100 growth
frames, seed to bloom. If you slip, the plant is pruned rather than
deleted: you lose some growth, then it regrows at double the speed until it
catches up. Your garden, your journal and your history all stay.
That one mechanic ended up dictating everything else. Once "never punish
the bad day" was the rule, the rest followed:
- The streak forgives two missed days a month, so an ordinary bad week
does not erase the month around it.
- An accountability partner you can lean on in times of need. You each see the other's
plant and streak and have quick access to chat and call as needed.
- Sealed letters, called time capsules, to your future self. Write one at 30 days, it unlocks
at 90.
- A health recovery timeline for whatever you quit, whether that is
alcohol, nicotine, cannabis or something you name yourself.
- The journal never leaves your account, and the passcode lock is free.
It is free to use. There is a 7 day free trial for Rooted Pro which adds plant species, companion pets and pots.
It is not a medical tool and does not pretend to be. There are in-app tools for the hard moments: a coping plan you write in advance, grounding exercises and an urge timer.
Having struggled with addiction myself, I am quite passionate about the app, and I hope Rooted can help people struggling with any kind of bad habits or addictions. From my personal experience, having some external goal or motivator outside of yourself helps a lot.
The app is out on Google Play Store and will be out on the App Store very soon. Feel free to join the Discord as well.
I would love for y'all to try the app!
