🔐

Your recovery is private

Everything you enter into Porchlight stays on your device and in your account. We don't sell data, we don't share it with anyone, and we never will. You're in control of what your sponsor sees — and you can change those settings anytime.

"I built this because I wished it existed when I was starting out. Recovery is hard enough — the tools shouldn't be."

— Brandon, Founder of Porchlight Recovery

Frequently asked

Is the app really free?
Yes. The core features — sobriety tracking, check-ins, and the video course — are completely free. There's an optional premium tier ($4.99/month) that unlocks the sponsorship program and additional features.
Do I need to create an account?
Nope. You can use the app without signing in. If you want to use the sponsor program or sync across devices, you'll need an account — but it's totally optional.
Can my sponsor see everything I enter?
Only what you choose to share. You have full control over privacy settings — you can share your days sober, your check-ins, both, or neither. You can change these settings anytime.
What kind of recovery is this for?
Porchlight is designed for anyone in recovery from addiction — alcohol, drugs, or any substance. The sponsor matching lets you filter by recovery type so you connect with someone who understands your specific journey.
How is this different from other recovery apps?
Most recovery apps just count days. Porchlight gives you a real connection to a sponsor, a structured video course, and weekly check-ins — all in one place. It was built by someone in recovery, not a tech company trying to monetize your struggle.
