More support.
Still yours.

The tools you know, thoughtfully reworked. New ways to find support, remember what helps and make room for your next step.

Two journeys.
One companion.

Count the days. Ride out the cravings. Write it all down — privately.

Walking beside them

It knows the hard corners.

Optional reminders near alcohol and cannabis stores, matched to the goals you select. You can also receive reminders after a verified stay in an eligible area you’ve reported. A quiet invitation to pause, find support and step away.

Live Activity · Lock Screen companion

A little space.
For the next step.

When a location-based reminder starts a pause, your companion stays on the Lock Screen. A 15-minute timer gives you space to step away, with five more minutes when you need them.

Check the time without reopening Rana. Open support or choose a breathing practice when you want it.

Optional reminders. Your selected goals. Your choice to engage.

The timer

Every skill, one tap away.

SOBER, Box Breathing and Physiological Sigh. A familiar toolkit, with crystal artwork that moves through the practice with you.

Your words. Your progress.

Write the day down. Notice patterns in your check-ins. Keep the reason you started close, with your photos and your own words.

The little things deserve care

Liquid Glass,
literally.

Every milestone deserves to feel like something. Touch a trophy and watch it soften. Let go, and it becomes solid again.

Light, reflection and a little delight — made for the days you kept going.

Actual interaction recorded in Rana.

A milestone you can play with.

More room.
Same companion.

Your streak, your motivation and your check-ins, together. Rana adapts its layout so the moment still feels like yours.

Your why, your streak and a little room to reflect.

Clear from the start

Your permission.
Your choice.

A new guide explains the optional features before you choose them. Reopen it any time in Settings.

Apple Health, for breathing.

Optionally save active breathing practice as Mindful Minutes. Rana does not read Health data or export mood check-ins.

Reminders, when you want them.

Choose store reminders and reported-area reminders separately. The guide explains background location and the Lock Screen companion.

Understand first. Choose for yourself.

Find what helps you

A little better,
for you.

After a practice, tell Rana how much it helped. Your optional feedback helps shape future tool suggestions, with an alternative when something didn’t help.

More than one goal.

Add another recovery goal in Settings. Your check-ins, journal context and available place reminders follow your selected goals.
