Find meetings, check in with peers, celebrate milestones, and share progress with your sponsor — without ever entering a name, email, or phone number. On this app, you are a code, not a name.
Anonymity is a tradition of every 12-step program — so we built the app the same way. There is nothing to leak, because nothing identifying is ever collected.
Your identity is a randomly generated friend code backed by cryptographic keys created on your device.
Attendance, milestones, and notes live in a private database on your phone — not on our servers.
Reports to your sponsor are signed and end-to-end encrypted. Our relay can't read them — by design.
Export an encrypted backup protected by your passphrase. Store it anywhere — it's useless without you.
Built around the daily rhythms of the program: find a meeting, show up, log it, celebrate progress, and stay accountable to your people.
Search every supported fellowship — AA, NA, CA and more — by zip code and radius, from one screen. Your zip code is converted to coordinates on your device, so it never leaves your phone.
Log every meeting in your private daily journal. Tap to log on your honor, or scan a peer's rotating QR code at the meeting for a verified, vouched-for check-in.
Your clean date and attendance log power a milestone engine that runs entirely on your phone. Daily encouragement through the hardest first two weeks, then chips all the way to years.
Connect with your sponsor or trusted peers through a mutual-consent QR handshake. Share signed, encrypted attendance reports they can trust came from you, untouched.
Many people in recovery pair meetings with NADA acu-detox — the five-needle ear protocol used in addiction treatment settings — or with affordable community acupuncture. Find both, right inside the app.
No GPS tracking, no surveillance. Just two phones in the same room, the way recovery has always worked: one person showing up for another.
At the meeting, any attendee opens host mode. Their phone displays a QR code that refreshes every 20–30 seconds with a freshly signed timestamp.
Attendees scan the live code from the host's screen. Because it rotates and expires fast, a screenshot or forwarded photo won't work — you have to actually be there.
Your log records a verified check-in attested by a peer. Scanning creates no friendship or sharing link — the host is simply a witness, nothing more.
Peer-scan is honest-by-design peer attestation for sponsor and self accountability — a community vouching for itself, not courtroom evidence. The honor tap is always there as the everyday fallback.
Steps to Recovery with Acu is in active development. Want early access, or want to bring peer check-in to your home group? We'd love to hear from you.
