About
Drynosaur is a sobriety companion app that turns recovery into a journey through time. Each day marks a step through prehistoric “eras” — from the Triassic Spark to the Deep Resilience Era — guided by a growing dinosaur that reflects your progress and emotions.
Instead of punishment, Drynosaur embraces compassion: when relapse happens, your dino enters a gentle “Ice Age,” waiting to thaw after three steady days. Along the way, players uncover ancient fossils, record thoughts in their Field Notes, and see their world evolve as streaks grow longer. Built as an emotional tracker disguised as an adventure, Drynosaur helps users stay grounded, curious, and proud of every small victory.
How it started?
Drynosaur began with Gareth’s idea to make sobriety feel less like a punishment and more like a playful journey. He wanted to help people stay consistent without guilt — to turn self-discipline into something rewarding, visual, and even fun.
The concept started with one simple thought: what if recovery could feel like evolution? From that spark, Gareth imagined a small dinosaur that grows stronger each day, changing eras as users progress. When setbacks happen, the dino simply freezes, waiting patiently to thaw — a reminder that growth never truly disappears.
Drynosaur became a way to track not just days, but emotional resilience. A compassionate companion disguised as a game — built to make progress feel human, hopeful, and alive.
