🔥 Getting Started
How do I create my first tracker?
Getting started is simple:
- Open Since and tap the + button
- Give your tracker a name (e.g., "Sober", "Smoke-Free", "New Beginning")
- Select your start date -- the day your journey began
- Choose an icon and color that feels right
- Tap Save
That's it. Since will start counting your days immediately.
Can I track multiple things at once?
Absolutely. You can create as many trackers as you need:
- Sobriety from alcohol
- Days since quitting smoking
- Exercise streak
- Meditation practice
- Any personal milestone
Each tracker has its own timeline, milestones, and daily quotes.
What if I need to reset a tracker?
Recovery isn't always linear, and Since understands that. To reset:
- Open the counter you want to reset
- Tap Reset
- Confirm the fresh start
The compassionate reset starts your current streak again from today while keeping your full history and your best streak intact. There's no judgment and no shame, and the progress you've already made is never erased. Every new beginning is worth counting.

🔒 Privacy & Security
Can anyone see my data?
No. Absolutely not.
Your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We cannot access it. We don't collect analytics. We don't use third-party services. No one will ever know what you're tracking unless you choose to tell them.

Does the app work offline?
Yes, completely. Since works fully offline. Your trackers, quotes, and milestones are all stored on your device. No internet connection is needed for any feature. iCloud sync happens automatically when you reconnect.
How is my data backed up?
