Saskatchewan Entrepreneurs Launch Addiction Recovery App on iOS and Android
Founded by a team with lived experience in both addiction and recovery, AlchemistOne is now available for download on iOS and Android. The app offers a powerful digital companion for those navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, and the often-overlooked complexity of the mind itself.
Developed in Regina, with operations spanning Saskatchewan and Alberta, AlchemistOne delivers deeply personalized experiences rooted in mindfulness, introspection, and self-inquiry. Its content is curated by mental health professionals and individuals in long-term recovery from around the world, offering profound insight into what it means to struggle, what it means to think, and how freedom can arise from a healthier relationship with our inner world.
"When we're struggling, there can be a prevailing sense that we're broken, or not good enough, or that we don't fit in," said Adam Geiger, Co-Founder and CEO of AlchemistOne. "Freedom comes in discovering that's simply not true."
Key features of AlchemistOne include:
A growing library of personalized audio and video journeys — from guided meditations to raw, honest reflections by recovering addicts, therapists, and philosophers.
In-app workout tracking and integration with wearables.
Integrated Quests that encourage deeper reflection through journaling, gratitude practices, and other self-guided activities.
Coming soon: AlchemistOne's AI-powered support tool, co-designed with people in recovery and mental health professionals.
At the heart of the platform is a lived-experience model that challenges conventional narratives around mental health, offering not just coping strategies, but a reimagined way of relating to ourselves.
"AlchemistOne is built on the real experiences of people who've been there, including myself," said Geiger. "Addiction and depression can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming. Our goal is to ensure no one has to face it alone, and to provide hope that there really is another way."
With addiction and mental health challenges continuing to rise across Canada and globally, many are turning to new tools and approaches for support.
"Technology alone isn't the answer," said Geiger. "But it can be a powerful ally - especially when it's built by and for people in recovery. We're grateful for the opportunity to offer a possible solution."

Amid wildfires, air quality awareness is critical for everyone: expert
Air quality expert Jeffrey Brook discusses wildfire smoke, its impact, how long it may last, and how we can adapt to the new normal. As smoke from Manitoba wildfires prompts air quality warnings in four provinces, one expert says increased awareness on the impacts is necessary. 'One of the things that all of us need to do is be aware of the smoke and aware of risks of the smoke and aware of where they can get information on how the levels are going to be,' air quality expert Jeffrey Brook told CTV News Channel in an interview Saturday. 'Often, that's the air quality health index that they have to pay more and more attention to.' Increased awareness on the impacts of smoke is critical given the severity of the air quality in certain areas, he said. According to Environment Canada, there are currently 281 active air quality warnings across Canada. While the poorest air quality is seen in many parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, smoke from the wildfires is also currently affecting most of northern Ontario, as well as some parts of Quebec. 'It's extremely high levels of particulate matter, tiny particles that get deep and down to people's lungs. They're hazardous.' As a result of the smoke, individuals may experience symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough, according to Environment Canada. In more serious cases, symptoms may include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. The agency is advising individuals to limit their time spent outdoors and to consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor activities. In Manitoba, there are currently 107 active fires across the province, prompting multiple evacuations, according to the province's latest wildfire update. These active fires bring the summer's total to 270 wildfires, to date. On Thursday, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew placed the province under a second state of emergency this summer. The state of emergency remains in effect until August 9 and may be extended, according to the province. 'This fire season, Manitoba is seeing over 10 times the number of hectares burning compared to the average fire season,' Kinew wrote in a press release. As wildfire smoke continues to impact many parts of Canada, Brook said Canadians might have to continue to become more aware of the impacts of wildfire smoke. 'Things are getting drier and getting warmer,' he said. 'As many people have said, this is kind of the new normal and we're sort of in real time adapting to what our world looks like when it's warmer and hotter and drier.'
