About Recovery Buddy
Recovery Buddy - Your Daily Companion Track your journey. Stay motivated. One day at a time. From (in)Dependence—makers of thoughtful apps for meaningful change. A Note About This App: Recovery Pet is a personal wellness companion—not a medical treatment. Always consult with doctors, therapists, and licensed professionals for medical advice. If you're in crisis, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Why This Exists: I built this app during my own journey because I needed something real. Something that understood the daily grind of recovery without the BS. This isn't therapy. It's not a cure. It's just a companion that gets it. What You Get: Your companion evolves with you. Seriously. The longer you stay on track, the more your pet grows. It's weirdly motivating to watch something change as you change. Daily check-ins that actually matter. No lectures. No judgment. Just "how'd today go?" and you're done. An AI companion that won't ghost you at 3am. When cravings hit and you need someone to talk to, it's there. (It's AI, not a therapist—but sometimes you just need to vent to something that listens.) Track multiple habits. Because let's be real, you're probably working on more than one thing. Free version lets you track 2. Premium is unlimited. Tasks that earn you real progress. Check them off, earn XP, level up. Your brain likes seeing progress—might as well use that. What You Don't Get: Medical advice. Go to a doctor for that. Emergency support. Call 911 or 988 if you're in crisis. A miracle. This is just a tool. You're doing the real work. The Free Version: 2 companions (2 habits/addictions) Daily check-ins 7 daily tasks 3 AI chats per day Full progress tracking Premium ($4.99/month or $39.99/year): Unlimited companions 10 daily tasks Unlimited AI chats 1.5x XP boost Custom tasks Why We Made This: Most recovery apps feel like they were designed by people who've never been there. All sunshine and rainbows and "you got this!" energy that feels fake when you're struggling. We wanted something honest. Something that tracks the small wins because some days, a small win is everything. Something with a companion that evolves as you do, because seeing progress—even digital progress—reminds you that you're moving forward. This isn't a replacement for real help. Therapy, support groups, doctors—all that matters way more than any app ever will. But on random Tuesday at 2pm when you just need something? Maybe this helps. One day at a time. That's all any of us can do. Also from (in)Dependence: Looking for sensory tools for kids? Check out our Busy Board and Sensory Switch Wall apps—designed specifically for children with autism and sensory needs. Important Reminders: This app provides motivational support only Always seek professional medical care Emergency? Call 911 or 988 The AI companion is for motivation, not medical advice Use alongside professional treatment, not instead of it Start your journey. Download Recovery Pet.
