The basics

What is Unpour?

Unpour is a game for drinking less. Every night you tell us whether you stayed dry. Dry days earn points, points move you up a weekly league, and streaks unlock badges.

Do I have to quit drinking for good?

No. Unpour is about drinking less, not a promise to never drink again. Some people use it for a dry month, some to cut back on weeknights, some to stop completely. The game works the same way for all of them.

How do I check in?

Open the app and answer one question: did you drink today? One tap and you're done. Check-in for a day stays open until 4am the next morning, so late nights still count.

What if I forget to check in?

We'll send you a reminder in the evening. If the day closes with no check-in, it doesn't earn points and your streak pauses at that day. Turn on reminders in Settings so it doesn't happen.

Which phones does it work on?

Unpour is free on iPhone and Android. Download it from the App Store or Google Play.

Leagues and points

How do leagues work?

Every Monday you are placed in a group of 30 people at your level, matched by time zone. The week closes Sunday at 11:59pm. The top players move up a level, the bottom few drop, and a new week starts. There are 10 levels, from Bronze to Unpoured.

How are points scored?

You get 10 points for every dry day, plus 5 extra on Friday and Saturday. On top of that there's a streak bonus that grows the longer your streak runs, up to 5 points a day.

What decides a tie?

If two players finish the week on the same points, the one with more dry days that week goes ahead. If that's still level, the longer current streak wins.

Can I skip leagues and just track?

Yes. Turn leagues off in Settings and you'll keep your streak, badges and dry-day count without being placed in a weekly group. You can turn them back on any time.

Streaks and slips

What happens if I have a drink?

Log it honestly. Your streak goes back to zero, but nothing else does: your badges stay, your total dry days stay, and the points you've already earned this week stay. The next morning there's a badge waiting for getting straight back on it.

What stops people from cheating?

Unpour runs on the honour system. Lying only cheats you, and your friends can see your check-ins. We also look for accounts that break the rules, like bots and duplicate accounts, and we may reset points or remove them from leagues.

Friends and privacy

Who can see my drinking?

Only friends you add can see whether you checked in dry. Other players in your league only see your first name and weekly points, never your check-ins. You can hide your activity from friends at any time.

Do you sell my data?

No. We don't sell your data and we don't share it with advertisers. See the privacy policy for exactly what we collect and why.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings, then Account, then Delete account. Your data is removed as described in the privacy policy. You can also email privacy@unpour.app and we'll do it for you.

Getting support

Is Unpour a treatment for alcohol problems?

No. Unpour is a game, not medical care. If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, so talk to a doctor first.
