Appearance
🌅 The Horizon Dashboard ​
Your Dashboard is the central command center for your recovery journey. It aggregates data from across the app to give you a real-time snapshot of your health.
1. The Identity & Momentum Card ​
At the very top of your dashboard is your unified Identity Card.
- Clean Time: Tracks your exact sobriety time in Years, Months, and Days.
- Gamification Rank: Right below your time, you will see your current Level, Archetype (e.g., Scholar, Doer, Monk), and your XP Progress Bar.
- Financial Freedom: If configured, the bottom right will show exactly how much money you have saved since your sobriety date.
💡 Pro Tip: You can configure your daily, weekly, or monthly substance cost in Profile → General to activate the Financial Freedom tracker.
2. Crisis Tools (Urge Surfer & SOS) ​
If you are experiencing a craving or a panic attack, tap the red Warning Triangle (SOS) in the top right corner of the dashboard header.
- Urge Surfer: A 5-minute interactive grounding tool that uses the 5-4-3-2-1 method. It helps you "ride the wave" of a craving without fighting it.
- Call Sponsor: One-tap access to call or WhatsApp your sponsor (configurable in Profile).
- Emergency Lines: Instant routing to the 988 Lifeline or 911.
3. The Dynamic Anchor ​
Below the Identity Card you'll find a two-button Quick Action Bar — your daily touchpoints.
Morning / Afternoon / Evening / Night Check-In ​
The left button adapts its label and pre-filled prompt to the current time of day:
| Time Window | Label | Prompt Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 5 am – 12 pm | Morning Check-In | Today's intention, gratitude, potential trigger |
| 12 pm – 5 pm | Afternoon Check-In | Energy level, a small win, staying grounded |
| 5 pm – 10 pm | Evening Check-In | Best part of the day, a challenge, wind-down plan |
| 10 pm – 5 am | Night Check-In | Grounding, safety, releasing the day |
Tapping the button opens a full-screen journal editor pre-loaded with that prompt. The entry is Zero-Knowledge encrypted before it leaves your device. A red dot badge appears on the button if you haven't checked in today.
Vault note: If your Vault is locked, a small padlock icon appears on the button. You'll be prompted to enter your PIN before the editor opens.
Daily Reading ​
The right button opens today's reading in-app (see the Daily Readings guide for details). Tap the â–¾ chevron beside it to browse external fellowship readings (AA, NA, SMART, etc.) in your browser instead.
A red dot badge appears on the button if you haven't read today.
4. Push Notifications (The Beacon) ​
Staying on track is easier with gentle nudges. At the top of your Dashboard, you may see a banner asking you to "Enable Daily Reminders".
- Milestone Celebrations: Get notified the moment you hit a new recovery milestone.
- Habit Nudges: Receive a quiet reminder if you have pending habits or tasks left to complete for the day.
- Note for iOS (iPhone) users: Apple requires you to install the app to your Home Screen before it allows push notifications. Follow the installation guide if you don't see the banner.
Managing Dashboard Badges ​
Go to Profile → General, scroll to the Anchor Notifications section to control the red dot badges on your Dynamic Anchor:
- Daily Check-In Badge — shows a red dot on the check-in button when you haven't checked in today.
- Daily Reading Badge — shows a red dot on the reading button when you haven't read today.
- Daily Intent Badge — shows a red dot when you haven't set today's intention.
Each badge can be toggled on or off independently. These control the visual indicators on the Dashboard — they are separate from the push notifications sent by The Beacon.
5. Smart Data Alerts & Changelog ​
- Backup Needed: Because your data is encrypted with Zero-Knowledge architecture, we cannot recover it for you. If it has been more than 7 days since your last export, the Dashboard will politely remind you to download a backup. (Note: If you have Google Drive Auto-Sync enabled in your Profile, this warning is hidden as the app handles it for you).
- Changelog Beacon: When we release a new feature or bug fix, a small banner will appear at the top of your dashboard to let you know what's new.
6. The Bento Grid ​
Quickly view your active streaks and completion rates across your core pillars:
- Journal: View your consecutive day streak and weekly consistency.
- Habits: View your overall completion rate and "Fire" score (the combined sum of all your active habit streaks).
- Vitality: View your biological regulation streak and total logs.
- Wisdom: View your workbook completion percentage and total questions answered.
- Service (Coming Soon): Encrypted sponsee management — the tile is visible but inactive until the module launches.
- Tools: Access CBT exercises and grounding tools.
7. The Gamification Engine ​
Recovery is a high-performance lifestyle. MRT tracks your positive actions and assigns you an Archetype and Level.
- Earning XP: You earn XP by writing journals (+25 XP), completing tasks (+10 to +50 XP), logging vitality metrics, and completing your monthly Recovery Capital check-in (+25 XP).
- Archetypes: Depending on where you spend your time, the system will assign you a persona: Scholar (Workbooks), Doer (Tasks), Monk (Vitality), or Philosopher (Journaling).
