A promise you make while sober

The pause before a bad decision.

Drinking breaks the very judgment you'd need to notice you're too drunk to drive. SecondLook lets you make the call while you're sober, then keeps that promise for you later tonight.

How it works

Plan it sober. Keep it tonight.

Four small steps, all on your own device.

Step 1

Learn the sober you

A 2-minute baseline: how you type, react and track when your head is clear.

Step 2

Notice the drift

Late at night it compares your typing rhythm with that baseline. Only timing, never your words.

Step 3

Ask, don't block

A calm “want a second look?” before the message goes. You always decide.

Step 4

Bring in your person

If it keeps looking off: a check-in, your ride plan, then the contact you chose, the way you agreed.

One app, two modes

Made for both of you

You meet SecondLook in two very different states, so it looks after you differently in each.

Sober Mode

Where you make the plan

Daytime, clear head, a little more detail.

  • Pick your safe contact and what they'll hear.
  • A 2-minute baseline of the sober you.
  • Tonight's plan in your own words.

Night Mode

Where it keeps the promise

2am, one hand, a dark bar.

  • One big button at a time, where your thumb is.
  • Your own plan first: “You said you'd take an Uber.”
  • Large, calm text and a countdown that never shouts.

Our promise

A promise, not surveillance

You write the rules while sober

You choose your safe contact and what happens if you don't answer.

Nothing happens behind your back

Every prompt, check-in and alert goes into a log you can read and download.

Your sober decisions are protected

After something is flagged, settings lock for a few hours, so a drunk you can't switch them off.

Your words stay yours

Only typing rhythm is checked, on your device. Messages are never stored or sent.

SecondLook can't measure blood alcohol, so it never tells you you're fine to drive.

Make the plan tonight's you will thank you for.

SecondLook is a hackathon prototype. If you or someone near you is in danger, call your local emergency number (112 in India).
