AlcoZero

Drink less. More control.

For adults 18+: drink less, without judgment.

Important: If you have been drinking larger amounts of alcohol over a long time, stopping abruptly can carry health risks (e.g. withdrawal seizures). In that case, talk to a doctor before cutting down.

Pip is with you

A little fox walks with you.

Pip is the mascot of SnusZero, VapeZero, SmokeZero and AlcoZero. With every good day he walks a little further. A hard day takes nothing away.

  • Pip’s trail

    Station by station up to the summit. Every day you stay within your daily maximum takes Pip a step further.

  • Gear and cheers

    Along the way Pip collects a scarf, a hat, a backpack and more. He cheers when you succeed, and breathes along with you in the breathing exercise.

  • Pip’s trophy cabinet

    Badges in bronze, silver and gold for what you have achieved, plus your ongoing challenges.

Pip’s trail and the trophies are free in all four apps. Pip as an AI coach is for adults aged 18 and over; 3 messages are free.

Features

What else AlcoZero can do

Drinks in standard drinks

Tap “+ Drink” and choose quickly: beer 3 dl, beer 5 dl, glass of wine, shot, long drink or bottle of wine. AlcoZero counts everything in standard drinks, so different drinks become comparable.

Real costs, your own prices

You set your own price for each type of drink. So you see how much money you have not spent, calculated with your numbers instead of averages.

Alcohol-free days & achievements

A separate counter shows your alcohol-free days. Visible milestones keep you going on difficult days too — all trophies and the challenges “Week under control” and “Three days under control” are completely free.

30-day program

One short step every day: a tip, a small exercise or a task. Days 1 to 3 are free to try, from day 4 the program is part of Premium. The next day unlocks on the next calendar day at the earliest.

Weekly review to share

Once a week a “Your week” card with the urges you got through, the money you saved and the days under your daily maximum. Free, and shareable as an image if you like — without consumption numbers.

Your patternsPremium

When and in which situations it hits you hardest: weekly grid, consumption timeline and most frequent triggers. It is based on your entries and your urges from SOS, works from day 1 (with an honest note while there is little data) and is calculated only on your device.

In your language and currency

The app is available in 10 languages, which you pick right on the first slide. On first launch it sets your local currency with matching starting prices, so your savings are counted in your money.

Your data, your backup

No account, no upload of your entries to our servers (exceptions: the optional AI coach and crash reports, see privacy policy). Restoring a backup file is free for everyone, for example when you switch to a new phone. Creating one is free too.

      FAQ

      Good to know.

      Is the app free?

      Yes. SnusZero, VapeZero, SmokeZero and AlcoZero are free to use, with ads. SOS help in an emergency is always free and ad-free. ScrollZero never shows ads: all features are free for the first 7 days, then there is ScrollZero Plus.

      What is the difference between Kaffee‑Abo and Premium?

      This applies to SnusZero, VapeZero, SmokeZero and AlcoZero. The Kaffee-Abo (CHF 1.00 / month) only switches off the ads. Premium additionally unlocks everything else: the 30-day program from day 4 (days 1–3 are free), several savings goals with photo, “Your patterns”, warnings before difficult times, your own themes and app icons, the large widget and all long-term challenges (creating and restoring a backup file is free for everyone). SOS help always stays free. If you also want the AI coach, choose Premium + Coach (CHF 9.90 / month or CHF 59.90 / year, also ad-free). The coach is not included with the Kaffee-Abo or Premium alone; you can try 3 coach messages for free.

      How much does Premium cost?

      For SnusZero, VapeZero, SmokeZero and AlcoZero: CHF 5.90 per month, CHF 34.90 per year (14 days free trial) or CHF 69.90 once, forever (as long as we offer the app and it runs on your device). After 7 free days, ScrollZero Plus costs CHF 4.90 per month, CHF 29.90 per year or CHF 69.00 once, forever. Premium + Coach (Premium plus AI coach) costs CHF 9.90 per month or CHF 59.90 per year; there is no one-time “forever” payment for it. 3 coach messages are free to try. The coach is an AI, can make mistakes and does not replace medical or therapeutic help. The prices shown by Google Play at purchase are binding.

      Is my data stored or shared?

      Your entries stay on your phone – no account, no registration, no upload to our servers (Android can create a backup in your Google account if you wish). Exceptions: if you use the optional AI coach, your messages go via our server to Anthropic (privacy policy, section 8a), and in the four habit apps crash reports run via Sentry (EU, section 7). Otherwise only the data needed for ads (not in ScrollZero) and purchases via Google is processed; details at simestudio.com/datenschutz (German). If you write to us or ask for a message at launch, we only store your email address until we have replied or informed you (for the launch notice at most 12 months).

      What age are the apps for?

      SnusZero, VapeZero and SmokeZero from 16, AlcoZero, ScrollZero, Gapwise, CamperOS, Launchwise and Owlert from 18. The AI coach is for adults only (18+) in all apps. The apps are a tool and no substitute for medical advice.

      Which languages are the apps available in?

      SnusZero, VapeZero, SmokeZero and AlcoZero are available in 10 languages: German, English, French, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and Polish. ScrollZero is available in 10 languages: German, English, French, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch and Polish. The legal texts in the app (privacy policy, terms of use) are binding in German. This website is available in the same 10 languages as the apps; blog and legal texts are in German.

      When will the apps be available – also for iPhone?

      The four habit apps are coming soon to Google Play and not publicly available yet. ScrollZero is not publicly available yet and its launch is being prepared; there is no date yet. An iPhone version will follow later. If you would like an email at launch, sign up under “Notify me at launch”.

      AlcoZero is a motivation and tracking tool, not a medical device.

      For people aged 18 and over. The app is no substitute for medical advice and does not replace therapeutic or addiction-medicine support. It makes no promises of a cure or guaranteed success. If you have health questions or a dependence, please talk to a doctor or an addiction counseling service.

      AlcoZero does not promote the consumption of alcohol, sells nothing and advertises no products.
