One place for the daily work of recovery
Your recovery deserves a complete toolkit.
InsightOS brings reflection, practical coping tools, progress and recovery planning together. A place to understand your patterns, recognise what is helping and decide your next step.
Understand your day.
Check in, journal and record moods, triggers and warning signs. Give your experiences somewhere to go.
Build on what works.
Keep track of clean time, recovery wins and the strategies that help you move forward.
Give recovery a structure.
Go deeper with guided programmes and practical planning through Full Recovery, with a separate route to human support.

Feature depth, subscriptions and regional access vary. Ticks show documented functions, not identical implementations. Calm refers to its main consumer app. Journalling/reflection includes reflective conversations; check-ins and wellbeing tracking include periodic stress and anxiety measures. Coping tools and planning rows refer specifically to addiction recovery.
1. One-to-one counselling through Insight Recovery Network is a separate paid service, outside the app subscription. 2. Headspace therapy is a separate US service, subject to eligibility. AI reflection is not therapy.
Start free. Make recovery part of your everyday life.
Foundation tools are free. Full Recovery adds the guided 90-Day Programme, the separate 12-week Recovery Foundations course, weekly planning, relapse prevention planning and further tools. Your app store shows the current subscription price and terms.
