About Orlyn

What Orlyn is

Orlyn is an iOS app for people who want to quit or cut back on alcohol. It is built around the hard minutes: a craving SOS with guided breathing and grounding, a coach that is awake at 2 a.m., a live sober streak with daily check-ins and streak freezes, and pseudonymous weekly leagues. A slip is treated as a data point, not a verdict.

Orlyn is a paid membership, deliberately. There is no ad-supported tier, so members are the customer, not the product, and nothing about your drinking is sold or shared for advertising. Pricing is shown before you commit, and you can cancel anytime: in your Apple ID subscription settings, or for web purchases on our cancellation page.

Who makes it

Orlyn is built and operated by The Orlyn Team from Germany. The legal operator and full contact details are on the Impressum. Questions, corrections, and feedback: support@orlyn.ai.

Editorial standards for our guides

The guides on this site follow fixed rules:

• Every statistic carries a primary source. We cite research bodies and peer-reviewed work (NIAAA, NIH, WHO, CDC, journal articles) inline and list every reference at the end of each guide. If we cannot source a claim, we do not publish it.
• No invented numbers, reviews, or testimonials. We do not fabricate efficacy percentages, star ratings, or member quotes, here or anywhere else.
• Comparisons are disclosed and dated. Where we compare apps, we say plainly that Orlyn is ours, stick to facts verifiable from each vendor at the date shown on the page, and name the cases where a competitor is the better fit.
• Drafted with AI, reviewed by people. We use AI tools to draft and fact-check guide content; a human reviews every page before it ships, and every claim still has to clear the sourcing rule above.
• Dates are real. Each guide shows when it was published and last updated, and we revisit guides on a fixed cadence.

The safety line

Orlyn and these guides offer supportive, evidence-informed guidance, not medical care, therapy, or treatment, and they never diagnose. If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous; talk to a clinician about withdrawal first. In a crisis, in the US call or text 988. More on our crisis resources page.
