The shift

Spreadsheets, Venmo, and group texts cost you beds.

The operators growing fastest aren't working harder — they've replaced five broken tools with one system built for recovery housing.

The old way

What you're doing now

  • Chasing rent through Venmo, CashApp, and group texts
  • Paper logs of UAs in a binder that disappears
  • Missed curfews that only surface after a relapse
  • Occupancy tracked in a shared spreadsheet
  • No way for parents to see their child is doing well
With Sober Friend

What replaces it

  • Automated recurring rent via Stripe — zero platform fees
  • Digital UA log with pass/fail history per resident
  • Curfew check-ins in real-time from your phone
  • Live bed availability tied to your directory listing
  • A private recovery app residents (and families) love
The platform

Everything you tracked in spreadsheets, group chats, and Venmo.

Built for sober living, halfway houses, IOP, and PHP — the workflows you actually run, not generic property software bolted onto recovery.

01 / RENT COLLECTION

Rent that collects itself.

Auto-pay, partial payments, weekly cycles, scholarship splits. Residents pay from their phone. You see who’s caught up — and who needs a conversation — before the month closes.

02 / RESIDENT TRACKING

Every resident, in view.

Days sober, drug-test history, curfew, work status — the whole picture, one tap away.

Inside the app

Two apps, one operating system.

Operators get a control room. Residents get a private recovery companion. Both built specifically for sober living — not a generic property tool dressed up.

AI mentor · for residents

A mentor that picks upat 2 a.m.

Every resident gets a private login and an AI mentor trained on recovery — not a generic chatbot. It listens, reflects, surfaces resources, and tells your team when something needs human eyes.

Hope

— Tonight —
can't sleep. keep thinking about calling my ex
That's a hard place to be at 2 a.m. What's coming up for you about the call — is it loneliness, anger, something else?
lonely i guess. and bored
Both real. Loneliness and boredom are two of the biggest triggers people in early recovery describe. You're not weak for feeling them — you're paying attention.
Want to try a 5-minute grounding exercise, or would it help to talk through what calling her would actually do?
grounding. then talk

FOR RESIDENTS

Private. Available. Always on their side.

Residents log in from their phone. Conversations are private by default — but they can choose to share threads with their sponsor or counselor in one tap.

FOR YOUR TEAM

Flagged when it matters.

The mentor escalates risk-language and missed check-ins to the on-call house manager — without exposing private content.

From the field

Run by people who’ve actually held the keys.

We built Sober Friend with operators who’d been chasing rent in 4 group chats and tracking sobriety in a notebook. Here’s what changed.

“We went from spending Sundayschasing rent to closing the month in twenty minutes. The mentor caught a relapse signal at 1 a.m. last week — that’s a life that doesn’t happen without this.”
