Starting over no longer celebrates a streak you just ended. If you logged a slip on the day it actually happened, Kern could meet you with a milestone celebration for the count you had only just reset. It doesn't any more — a milestone is marked when you reach it here, not when the date you set has already gone past it. Reduce Motion now quiets every animation, not most of them. And if you use it, milestones give you the same gentle tap as everyone else. That was missing. Nothing about your count changes.
Kern is a sobriety counter for people who want a quiet one. No community feed. No daily streak guilt. No ads. No account. No data collected. Just your day count — on your home screen, in a small widget, in a calm app. Open Kern, see your number. Close it. Live your day. Built around what matters • Your day count on the Lock Screen — a ring, a panel, or one line above the clock • A home-screen widget that fits next to your weather and calendar • A clean hero number that grows with each sober day • Milestones from day 1 to 1000 — marked, not celebrated loudly • Start over honestly: log the day it actually happened, and undo a mis-tap • Personal best preserved across resets — relapse doesn't erase your record • Optional money-not-spent, off unless you turn it on • Editable habit label (alcohol-free by default — make it smoke-free, or anything) Counting more than one thing Plenty of people are quitting two things at once. Kern is free for your one thing, forever. Keeping more than one is a single purchase — no subscription, nothing that renews. • As many counts as you need, each with its own name, start date and milestones • Swipe on the main screen to move between them — one number at a time, still • A widget showing every count at once, or a small one showing whichever you pick • Each count gets its own reminders, named, so you know which one reached the day Your existing count and everything around it — every widget, milestones, personal best, starting over, editing your own dates — stay free. Nothing you already have moves behind the purchase. Built for privacy Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no data collected — including when you buy. Apple handles the payment; we never see it. Not a replacement for support Kern is a counter, not a clinical tool.
