90 sec Hold on
Before the first pour
For people who drink more than they mean to
The night is decided in the first pour. We help you keep the morning, stay present with the people you love, and grow into someone who drinks less without starting over every Monday.
How it works
Designed for people who already know they drink too much, and still want to like who they are tomorrow.
01
A few honest answers about when the evening runs away, what you want back, and who you still want to be in the morning.
02
Help arrives before the first pour. Short listens when you have space. Optional mornings that make more sense, if you want them.
03
Rooty grows with quieter weeks and long Fridays alike. A slip can dim the character. It does not send you back to day 0.
Meet Rooty
Rooty is not a scoreboard. It is a living picture of quieter weeks, hard nights, and the you that kept going.
Stage 1 of 10 · Day 0
You begin as a seed: quiet, and still yours. MyRooty does not ask you to be perfect. It asks you to want the morning enough to start.
What you get
Not a drink diary. Not a 30-day test. Help in time, understanding you can carry, and a companion that does not shame you back to the start.
When you walk in the door, the pour is already waiting. We meet you there, so you can still be the person who chose the evening, not the person the evening chose.
Short listens while you walk or wind down. Not a course. Language for stress, sleep, and the first drink, so the next hard moment feels familiar instead of like a failure.
Apple Health · optional
Optional Apple Health can show when sleep and recovery drifted, so you see the cost of a night without arguing with your memory. You confirm what looks right. Nothing is required.
A long Friday does not send you back to day 0. Rooty may go quieter. You are still here. The person you are becoming does not get erased by one night.
Why this exists
“The person you miss is not gone. The night just gets there first.”
Drinking often fills a real need: unwind, belong, sleep, reward. MyRooty does not fight you for being human. It helps you keep enough of yourself that tomorrow still feels like yours.
The life you want
Start with the morning, the dinner, the person you miss being. The rest of the app exists to get you there.
Wake up as yourself. Not foggy, not bargaining with last night, not already behind.
Leave dinner still yourself. Come home without the autopilot pour. Keep the evening you actually wanted.
Be the one who remembers the conversation, not the one who disappeared after the third glass.
Feel sleep deepen and the next day come back. Progress you can sense, not a streak you have to defend.

Apple Health · optional
Drinking ripples through sleep and recovery. If you connect Apple Health, those signals can make the cost of a night visible, and the return of clearer days easier to believe.
When sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate shift together, MyRooty may suggest a day worth reviewing, so memory does not get to rewrite the story.
A rising HRV trend, steadier sleep, and a calmer resting heart rate can show the better mornings arriving, even when your mood still doubts them.
Sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and activity, against your own patterns, not someone else's ideal week.
Biometric signals cannot confirm alcohol use. Travel, illness, stress, and exercise can move the same metrics. You always confirm what looks right.

Questions
Clear answers, so you can choose this for the person you want to be, not out of pressure.
No. MyRooty is for people who drink more than they mean to, and want more of themselves back. You choose the direction, whether that is fewer drinking days, fewer drinks, a pause, or sobriety, and you can change it over time.
Not with certainty. Alcohol can influence sleep, heart rate, HRV, and recovery signals, but so can stress, travel, illness, and exercise. MyRooty compares day-to-day Apple Health metrics to your baseline, may flag a likely drinking day for review, and shows how recovery trends unfold over the following days. You decide whether to confirm.
No. Check-ins and pattern reflection work without connected health data. If you choose to connect Apple Health, available signals can add another layer of context. The exact metrics depend on your devices and permissions.
No. MyRooty is for general wellbeing and self-reflection. If you are worried about dependence or withdrawal, speak with a qualified healthcare professional before cutting down or stopping.
You choose whether to connect health data and which categories to allow through your device permissions. The product privacy policy will describe storage, processing, deletion, and security details before launch.
A short quiz asks about the night that takes you, what you want back, and the help you would actually use. That shapes a starting plan around your life. You can skip anything that does not fit.
Hold on is help in the ten minutes that usually run away: after work, a social night, or an evening at home. A short pause to stay yourself, delay the first pour, and keep a simple plan for tonight. You do not have to count drinks to use it.
Short listens, not a long daily course. They give you language for sleep, stress, habit loops, and what happens after a slip, so the next craving meets someone who already understands themselves a little better.
The night that usually runs away is still ahead. The person who drinks less can start there.
