## What is Caffeine Tracking by RECaf?

Many apps record caffeine, but most never learn about you and your habits. What if your caffeine tracker were smarter?

• One-tap logging of your most-frequent sources
• Logging via voice with Siri shortcuts
• Smart reminders to keep you on track
• New insights into your caffeine routine with charts and detailed stats
• Integration with HealthKit, for secure data storage

RECaf was designed and built to take advantage of all the latest and greatest features available to you on your phone. And the best part—you can try it for 14 days, risk free, with an auto-renewing annual subscription thereafter. 

More features include:

• Completely customizable source list. Add any sources you like and adjust the caffeine levels, measurement units, and icons.
• Easy-access to your most frequent sources. RECaf automatically brings the caffeine you use most often to your fingertips
• Shortcuts for any source—from the source list, choose any source, record a unique audio phrase, and then log that source with your voice.
• A favorites panel grants easy access to those sources you like but don't log as often.
• Interactive notifications with machine learning — RECaf will study your caffeine intake over time and learn what time (if any) you tend to log on a particular day. So if you usually have coffee at 10am on Mondays, skip Tuesdays, then have green tea at 7am on Wednesdays, RECaf will send you quick reminders only on the appropriate days and at the appropriate times, if it notices you haven't yet logged your "usual." Adjust the time of the log right in the notification, and log with a tap. 
• Statistics about your caffeine intake. 
	• Number of items logged today
	• Number of mg of caffeine logged today
	• Average items and mg over the past 7 days
	• Average items and mg over the last 30 days
	• Number of items logged in the past week past your designated "after hours" time
	• Breakdown of logging percentages by time of day (morning, afternoon, evening)
	• The last item logged and percentage of entries
	• The most frequent item logged and percentage of entries
	• Your typical "routine" for each day of the week. (Time and source)
        • Sleep analysis: How does caffeine effect your sleep?
• A comprehensive list of all items logged in your HealthKit database. (Even those not logged with RECaf.)
• The ability to edit your entry dates and amounts. Or delete entries that may have been logged erroneously. 

Download and try RECaf today. A yearly subscription to our 12-month premium features will automatically renew 24 hours prior to expiration of your free trial. To turn off auto-renew, visit subscription settings inside the Settings app on your device.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-06-29, version 2025.1*

App worked twice before glitching. Unable to log caffeine after those first uses.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2024-05-09*

This is what an app should be. Simple, low cost for exactly what I need. The easiest way to track caffeine, period. It keeps track of your average and let’s you know when you’re going over. Plus, it’ll give you a buzz if you forgot to track some caffeine when you usually do, so you never forget! The Watch app is particularly slick and easy to use. I use this every day and it’s been huge for helping me manage my caffeine intake. Can’t recommend highly enough.

### 1/5 — I have to pay to use this?!

*2023-07-29, version 2023.4*

Not doing it. If I could, I would give -5 stars.

### 2/5 — Great concept, rocky execution

*2023-07-23*

Between the Home Screen Widget, the app’s History list, and the app’s Today screen I just saw 3 different values. Only one set was accurate. This eventual consistency is something I’ve been waiting a full OS release on before commenting to ensure any benefits or bug fixes solved it outside RECaf. This would be an easy 4 or 5 stars if it the data was 100% reliable and consistent at all times. There’s no watch usage in the mix, I do use a shortcut action to do the logging.

(Months later this continues to fail and be unreliable, canceled subscription since it doesn’t meet my needs)

### 1/5 — Deceiving app

*2023-07-18, version 2023.4*

You can’t actually use the app at all without paying. Super deceiving!

### 2/5 — Favorites Crashing

*2023-02-25, version 2023.3*

I am unable to add a favorite. Clicking the heart or “add” the favorites section causes the whole app to crash.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-01-26, version 2022.4*

It’s just easy. I get the benefit of tracking with so little overhead.

### 3/5 — Great concept, rocky execution

*2022-11-06, version 2021.5*

Between the Home Screen Widget, the app’s History list, and the app’s Today screen I just saw 3 different values. Only one set was accurate. This eventual consistency is something I’ve been waiting a full OS release on before commenting to ensure any benefits or bug fixes solved it outside RECaf. This would be an easy 4 or 5 stars if it the data was 100% reliable and consistent at all times. There’s no watch usage in the mix, I do use a shortcut action to do the logging.

### 5/5 — Helpful.

*2022-10-21*

Very convenient. Gives reminders about usage. Large data base on drinks. Works wonderful. 
Worth the yearly subscription.

### 5/5 — Unique outstanding Design app!

*2022-08-12*
