Run Your Private Experiment | 30, 60, 90, or 120 days substance independent
Mongoose is the steady presence in your corner for your experiment, completely unfazed by whatever you bring. My only job is to meet you where you are.
Mongoose is an AI companion for the first 30 to 120 days without alcohol or other substances, and for whatever comes after. It is not a sobriety counter app. Not a moderation app. It's an experimental guide, with a companion who is right there with you along the way.
What this is
Thirty to one hundred and twenty days of an experiment to see what your life is like without alcohol or other substances.
Choose from thirty to one hundred and twenty days: track sleep, money saved, mornings, afternoons, nights, moods, cravings, emotions, and your physical health.
You collect the data, and at the end of the experiment you decide what happens next with real evidence instead of a guess. Extend to another 30, 60, 90, or 120 or stay stopped with, or without, Mongoose to guide you.
One rule inside: no substances means no substances. No drink counting, no cutting down, no “just weekends or special occasions.” If a drink or using event happens, you acknowledge it, the streak restarts, and nothing you did up to that point gets erased. This is an experiment where you are collecting evidence about your patterns, your behaviors, and what you're capable of.
What's inside
A hub for the substance independent life.
An AI chat for you to process with. A pattern recognition database. An SOS button for the challenging moments. A journal for you to document your thoughts. A tool library of breathwork, meditation and neuroscience based rewiring practices.
A companion that remembers
Mongoose is an AI that creates a memory of you, your patterns, your triggers, and your wins. What makes it different is the memory: it remembers what you wrote last Tuesday, which stretch of the day is hardest for you, what worked the last time the evening got loud, what happens when you fight with your spouse.
The pattern
Drinking runs on a loop: the build up, the moment, the negotiation, the drink, the payoff, the reinforcement, the after effects. Mongoose lays that loop out in seven stages, then as you go it draws your own version of it from what you actually log: check-ins, SOS moments, journal lines, what you said in the chat, your streak, and any drinks that happen. Nothing is guessed and nothing is inferred. It redraws itself every time a new entry lands, so the loop stops being invisible before it gets too heavy to hold.
The daily check-ins
Check in options for morning, afternoon and evening: how did you feel waking up, what was the afternoon like, did your commitment hold through the evening or special event, which stretch of the day was hardest. One line about what's really going on. The more you check in, the deeper the data goes. The more you learn about yourself.
The SOS button
A button for the challenging moments, the intense emotions, the unyielding cravings, the birthday party, the vacation, the networking dinner.
- Guided breathing to bring the body down
- A fifteen-minute timer to let the wave pass
- A counter that keeps score of every one you outlast
The practices
- Guided breathwork
- Short meditation sits
- Daily neuroscience-backed rewire practices: small tasks that give your brain the signal to update its wiring and create new pathways
The Daily Notes
One note for every day of the arc, 120 in all. Each one lines up with what you might be feeling or experiencing that day, the mechanism behind it, and one concrete thing to do. Examples: Day twelve is about the negotiation. Day forty-five is about your liver. Day ninety-one is what happens on the day you didn't plan for.
The journal
A private space for you to write what's going on internally from day one. Every day is recorded as neutral data, never as a verdict, including the days you had to start again.
The numbers
Streak, alcohol-free days, money kept, cravings outlasted, practices done. Instruments, not monuments. The day count serves you, not the other way around.
Mongoose Foundations
Built from real life experience
Mongoose was built on the experience of someone who drank for fifteen years and has been alcohol-free for fourteen. It is built on hundreds of documented “first thirty days”: the 2 a.m. negotiations, the vivid dreams around week two, the day it becomes a lifestyle, navigating holidays and other special events, and the biology and neuroscience that runs alongside all of it.
The mongoose is the animal that doesn't fear facing off with the cobra. Not because it is immune to the venom. Because it is faster, more alert, and completely unafraid of something that can kill everything else. That is the posture this app takes toward alcohol.
Pricing
One price, everything in.
$9.99 a month, $24.99 for three months, or $69.99 for the year. The three-month plan runs exactly as long as the ninety-day experiment. The companion, the check-ins, the SOS button, the practices, all of it. No locked tiers, no upsells, nothing to buy inside.
A word on safety: This is not medical advice. If drinking has been daily and heavy, stopping suddenly can be medically dangerous. The intake asks about this before day one, and anyone at higher risk is pointed to a doctor first. Mongoose never gives medical advice. If you have shakes, confusion, or hallucinations after stopping, call 911. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.
