Built for your wrist, not ported from a website
Most alcohol tracking services are built around websites, email digests or SMS text check-ins. Modraly was built natively for the Apple ecosystem from day one:
- Watch Face Complications: Circular, corner and rectangular widgets showing today's drinks and your weekly unit progress next to your Activity rings.
- One-Tap "Same Again": Ordered another pint or glass of wine? Tap once on your watch screen to record the exact same pour and strength.
- Offline Resilience: If your iPhone is out of range, your watch queues the drink and syncs automatically the moment connection resumes. Zero lost logs.
- Battery-Conscious Architecture: The watch companion keeps no separate database, avoiding background battery drain while keeping your log 100% private.
How alcohol trackers compare on Apple Watch

| Try Dry (Alcohol Change) | No watch app | No | No | Yes | Free |
| DrinkControl | Yes | Yes (Premium) | Yes | No | Free basic / £11.99/yr |
| Reframe | Basic watch app | Limited | Requires sign-in | Yes | £67.99 to £119.99/year |
Included free on the App Store. iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Wrist convenience with zero cloud surveillance
Because drinking habits are intimate personal health data, Modraly never collects your email, never creates an online account, and runs no tracking analytics on your Apple Watch. Your logs remain on your personal devices and can be optionally exported as a CSV. Learn more about our no-account privacy architecture.
Common questions
How do I log a drink on Apple Watch with Modraly?
Open Modraly on your Apple Watch and tap a favourite drink or "Same again". The watch sends the log request to your iPhone in seconds. You can also add a Modraly complication to your watch face to open the logger in one touch.
Does the Apple Watch app work without my iPhone nearby?
Yes. If your Apple Watch is temporarily out of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi range of your iPhone (for example, at a bar while your phone is charging in another room), your drink log request waits safely on the watch and syncs automatically once your iPhone reconnects.
Is the Apple Watch drink tracking app free?
Yes. Modraly's companion Apple Watch app is included free with unlimited logging. You can view today's total, this week's count against your country's official weekly guideline, and log favourites without paying for Premium.
What Apple Watch complications are available?
Modraly offers watch face complications for circular, rectangular and corner slots, displaying today's count and your rolling weekly unit total right alongside your watch face time and activity rings.
Do Sunnyside or Try Dry have Apple Watch apps?
No. Sunnyside relies on automated SMS text messages and has no native Apple Watch application. Try Dry and NHS Drink Free Days do not offer Apple Watch apps either. Modraly is built natively for watchOS with complications and offline queuing.
Does the Apple Watch app track streaks?
No. Modraly has no streaks, badges or broken-run counters anywhere on iPhone or Apple Watch. Your watch face simply reflects your factual units against your country's weekly guideline.
