The long middle

Marrow.

A river you are on for life.

Free, private, and open in your browser. No account.

Touch the water.

Marrow is a companion for the hours between meetings. Not a tracker that punishes a slip, not a program that graduates you, and not a replacement for the rooms.

AA, NA, and SMART matter more than Marrow does. It points you toward real meetings rather than holding you here. How it works →

one picture

The shape of a craving.

It builds, crests, and falls on its own — usually inside twenty to thirty minutes — whether or not you feed it. You do not have to win. You have to wait.

Three engraved field notes: steady the body, keep two honest counters, and reach a person.
the record

Two numbers.
Never a streak.

A counter that resets to zero turns shame into the next return. Marrow refuses that.

Days in practice

Only ever rises. A hard night does not take it away.

Days current

This stretch. Starts again when it needs to.

short tools

Four that actually land.

All seventeen

Breath is optional. After three rated runs, Marrow remembers which ones work for you.

It rates the tool, never you.

Downshift meets a loud night with bass and light on a pulse that slows until you both find the floor. Six rooms, or build your own. Nothing streams, nothing flashes. Open it inside Now →

people

A meeting between meetings.

An anonymous room Heron chairs when you cannot get to one tonight. One share, or just listen. No cross-talk.

walks

Nights like this.

Not a course. A night with a name. Write it, get met, and end in a choice you make with your hands.

Every walk →  ·  Deeper water — shame, anger, grief — has walks of its own. They run dusk to first light →

No streak to lose means no reason to lie to yourself about a bad night.

a design decision, not a testimonial · see how it is built
safety

Help is one tap away.

If what you write reads as danger, Marrow stops and hands you a real number first. The line sits on every screen whether or not anything is detected.

promises

What we say, where it is proven.

Optional Marrow Pro is continuity — encrypted sync across your devices. It does not unlock recovery tools. Read the trust promises →

what this is not

Heron is an AI and says so. Marrow is peer support for adults, not therapy or an emergency service.

questions

Straight answers.

Is Marrow free? Do I need an account?

Yes, and no. Opens in a browser. No sign-up. Craving tools, Mark, People, Surges, and crisis help stay free forever — healing is never gated. Optional Marrow Pro is encrypted sync so your private record can follow you to another device. Continuity, not an unlock.

Is there an app I can install?

Marrow runs in your browser right now, open beta, no account. You can add it to your home screen from your browser's share menu and it works offline. The iOS App Store build is not submitted yet. When it is ready it ships, and not before.

What if I am in danger right now?

Call or text 988. If you are in immediate physical danger, call 911. Marrow is not a crisis service.
