Simple tools for the moment that matters.
SoberShield is focused on one core mission: create a meaningful pause before an alcohol purchase can become a relapse.
Built around interruption, reflection, and support.
SoberShield does not try to be everything. It is designed to help during the narrow window where a craving becomes a cart, a checkout, and a choice.
Alcohol Purchase Detection
SoberShield watches supported shopping, delivery, and browser flows for signs of alcohol-purchase activity.
Recovery Pause Screen
When risk is detected, SoberShield interrupts the flow and gives the user a moment to stop, breathe, and reconsider.
Guardian Support
A trusted support person can be contacted for accountability, support, and unlock authorization when the selected protection level allows it.
How the Core Protection Works
You shop normally in supported delivery, store, or browser flows.
SoberShield looks for alcohol-purchase signals during checkout.
The purchase flow is interrupted before the decision becomes final.
The user sees their own reasons for wanting protection.
The user can cancel the purchase or contact their guardian.
Personal Recovery Messages
During setup, users write their own recovery reasons, including why they installed SoberShield and what they want to remember during a high-risk moment.
Recovery Metrics
The dashboard shows recovery-focused feedback such as days sober, blocked opportunities, recovery choices, guardian overrides, and guardian contacts.
Protected Settings
Guardian information and stronger protection settings can require guardian authorization before changes are allowed.
Device Admin Support
Optional Android Device Administrator protection can help prevent early uninstall during moments of struggle.
Accessibility-Based Detection
SoberShield uses Android Accessibility with explicit user consent to detect supported purchase screens and display recovery interruptions.
Event and Diagnostic Logs
Logs help users and support understand what happened during testing, protection checks, guardian actions, and purchase interruptions.
Selectable Protection Levels
Level 1: Delay
Shows a pause and creates a recovery delay before proceeding.
Level 2: Accountability
Shows a pause, logs the event, and notifies the guardian for accountability.
Level 3: Guardian Authorization
Shows a pause and requires a guardian unlock code to override when appropriate.
Level 4: Cart Clear Only
Strongest protection. The purchase cannot be approved from the pause screen.
Not a wall. A wiser doorway.
SoberShield is not designed to punish or control. It is designed to slow down one dangerous moment long enough for the user’s clear-minded decision to be heard.
