What this is

Built for people doing the real work

This is not about making you do shit you don't want to do. This is shit you need to take care of in order to do what you want to do.

17-Section Adulting App
IDs, housing, money, health, recovery, relationships, criminal record navigation — everything with checkboxes that save your progress.
Free Printable Workbook
Fill-in forms for bills, contacts, court dates, medications, recovery schedule, budget, and more. Print the whole thing or just what you need.
Richmond Resource Directory
Real phone numbers and addresses for food, housing, health, legal aid, jobs, transit, and recovery programs in Richmond, VA. No googling required.
Recovery-Specific Content
AA/NA, sponsors, triggers, relapse prevention, relationships in recovery, children and custody — the stuff other adulting lists skip.
Works on Any Phone
No app store required. Open on your phone browser and tap "Add to Home Screen" — it installs like a real app and works offline.
Always Free
Everything on this site is free. No sign-up, no email required, no ads. Built by Karnage Construction to support the recovery community in RVA.
