iPhone
Free to download. Check in each day, keep a journal in your own words, get ready for meetings, and reach help fast when a moment gets hard. Crisis help needs no sign-in.
What matters to you.
With you when it matters.
Your reasons. Your coping tools. The people you turn to. Recovery is personal. Switchback helps you keep what matters close and return to it in everyday moments.
FIND YOUR NEXT STEP
Use North Star to revisit what matters to you. Share what's going on in your own words and explore a suggested next step informed by what you've shared. AI-generated suggestions can make mistakes and are not professional advice.
MAKE ROOM FOR TODAY
Check in, write in your journal, and reflect on your day. Capture what helped, what felt difficult, and what you want to remember. A hard day belongs in the story, too.
TAKE MORE FROM YOUR MEETINGS
Plan a meeting or a weekly schedule. Set an intention beforehand, then record what stood out afterward so you can return to it later.
FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH
Bring the recovery approach and language that fit you. Keep your reasons, preferences, and experiences at the center of your plan.
REACH SUPPORT RESOURCES
Immediate Support Options provides access to crisis resources without signing in or paying. Switchback does not monitor emergencies or dispatch help.
MANAGE YOUR INFORMATION
Download your available account data or initiate permanent account deletion from inside the app.
Switchback is a tool for personal reflection and recovery planning. It is not therapy, treatment, or a substitute for professional care. In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support. For immediate danger or a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
• Choose the voice that reads your reflections and North Star aloud.
• Pick the word that fits you: sober, clean, or your own. Your milestones and shared milestones use it, and you can change it any time in Settings → Milestones.
• Edit or remove the answers you saved from the questions on Today, in My Safety Plan.
• Changing your sober date now asks whether to keep your earlier milestones.
• Skipped questions on Today come back less often.
• Our privacy notice now explains the safety markers some setup answers create and how they shape the app's responses. You'll be asked to review it once.
• A clearer message when a sign-in link has expired, plus other fixes.
