Drink a little less, without the lecture.
Moderation is a gentle alcohol tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Set your own weekly goal, log a drink in one tap, and let two simple rings keep the score — synced privately through Apple Health and iCloud.
Built for real life, not resolutions
You set the numbers. Moderation just keeps them honest.
Two rings, one habit
The inner ring is today against your daily limit; the outer is the week against your goal. Goals are weekly — tighten or loosen them anytime, and past weeks keep the goals they were set under.
Log anywhere in one tap
The app, your wrist, a widget, the Action Button, Control Center, or Siri. Type and cost are optional details — add them when you care, skip them when you don't.
Dry days count too
Confirm alcohol-free days, build streaks, and set a dry-days-per-week goal. A daily summary coaches with plain numbers — never judgment.
Your data stays yours
Drinks live in Apple Health and sync through your private iCloud. No account, no servers of ours, no ads. Anonymous usage stats show which features get used — never what you drink, how much, or when.
At a glance everywhere
Home-screen and lock-screen widgets in every size, Apple Watch complications that stay current, and a full ring calendar of your history.
Spending, if you want it
Optionally track what drinks cost and see it by day, week, and month. Sometimes the wallet is the best coach.
Made for iPhone Duo
Log from the cover screen without opening it. Unfold for two columns of rings and charts, or prop it half open on a table: your rings stand above the fold, with today's drinks and the log button below.
See it in motion
The rings, the calendar, and the wrist — one habit, every screen.
Made for iPhone Duo
Folded, the cover screen keeps logging one tap away. Unfold for two columns of rings and charts, or prop it half open and your rings stand above the fold.
About the developer
Jon Hill
Developer
My name is Jon. I built Moderation because I wanted an honest count of my own drinks without an app that lectures. No account, no ads, and I read every message.
Questions, answered
Moderation counts standard drinks — roughly one beer, one glass of wine, or one shot. Log in half-drink steps when a pour is bigger or smaller, and set your own daily limit and weekly goal to match your life.
No and no. Moderation is for people who want to drink a bit less and know their numbers. The summaries speak in plain arithmetic — what you logged, what's left of your goal, your dry-day streak — and never in guilt. If you're looking for support with alcohol dependence, please reach out to a healthcare professional.
On your devices. Drinks are saved to Apple Health under your control, and everything syncs between your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch through your private iCloud. There's no account to create, we run no servers of our own, and there are no ads. The app sends anonymous usage stats — which features get used — that never include what you drink, how much, or when. The privacy policy has the details.
Yes — the watch app logs, edits, and shows your rings, calendar, and settings independently, and complications keep your counts on the watch face. Everything reconciles across devices automatically.
Everything: iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch apps, widgets and complications, iCloud sync, themes, and all future features. It's $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, and new subscribers start with a one-week free trial. Cancel anytime in the App Store.
Your drinks are standard Apple Health records — visible, exportable, and deletable in the Health app anytime, even if you stop using Moderation.
