About this film
SmartSober is being built for the days between milestones: personal recovery tracking, daily check-ins, an AI companion, member connections, and a trusted support person with notification rules you agree on in advance.

One day at a time.

Trusted contacts · Advance-agreed check-ins
There’s more than one way to belong
People who understand
this part of your life.
We’re planning spaces around both recovery and the life happening alongside it. Join a conversation without needing to share your real name with other members.
Group spaces are planned. Current one-to-one conversations include reporting, blocking, and moderation. Member availability will vary.
Trust starts with clear choices
Your recovery.
Your people.
Your say.
Getting support should feel like opening a door, not giving up control. These are the principles guiding how we build SmartSober.
01
You choose your support person.An invitation they accept, with a role you both understand.
02
You agree on the rules in advance.Know what triggers a check-in alert and what your contact will receive.
03
You can change your mind.Separate sharing choices, with ways to pause or revoke access.
Health insights and automated check-ins require permissions, an accepted plan, current synced data and an available delivery service. They cannot confirm relapse or guarantee someone’s safety.

Why we’re building it
Recovery is personal.
So is the reason we started.
SmartSober began with founder Joe’s own experience in sobriety and a simple question: how do we make it easier to reach for support when asking feels hard?
We’re building a place that can fit alongside the people, meetings, and care that already matter to you. A place for the ordinary days, the difficult evenings, and the next honest check-in.
