## What is ETHANOL?

ETHANOL is a drink journal built like a lab instrument: a sleek HUD that logs what gets poured, reads the pace of the night, and explains the chemistry inside the glass, molecule by molecule.

[ SESSION ]
The first drink logged starts a session. The HUD tracks the count, the elapsed clock, and a live pace read, STEADY or HEAVY, counted from what has actually been finished and judged against personal history once a few sessions are on record. A live scope traces ethanol and congeners as each drink is finished, zooming in steps as the night goes on. When a night out runs hot, the HUD says so plainly and puts a ride-home control on the session screen. GET HOME SAFELY is always in the Vault. Counts and trends only. ETHANOL never estimates blood alcohol and is not a measure of impairment.

[ LAB ]
206 cocktail formulations, free: specs, ratios, techniques, and the chemistry that makes each one work. A bar inventory that answers the only question that matters at 7 PM: what can be made with what is on the shelf. Favorites, custom builds, and a featured formulation every day.

[ COMPENDIUM ]
Every drink carries signature molecules: the terpenes in gin, the diacetyl in a buttery chardonnay, the methyl anthranilate in tequila. Logging drinks unlocks their compounds in a growing molecular compendium. Drinking becomes a chemistry set. Reading it becomes a habit.

[ MENU SCAN ]
Point the camera at any drink menu. AI reads it and identifies each drink, and every item opens to its signature molecules, strength, and congener load, all before the first order. 5 menu scans free as a one-time trial. Premium includes 60 menu scans and 50 bottle scans each calendar month, and one-time scan packs are available without a subscription.

[ MAP ]
Venues pin to the map, with the night's route drawn between stops. Home, party, or venue: the picker learns the usual spots and suggests the likeliest venues for the night and hour.

[ PREMIUM ]
Premium adds 60 menu scans and 50 bottle scans each calendar month, bottle-label scanning, the AI Advisor, and deep insights.

Subscription: ETHANOL Premium, $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings. One-time scan packs are available without a subscription.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-13

[ SESSION ]
Drinks take time now. Each drink ramps in on the scope over the time it takes to finish, and logging the next one closes out the last. Pace reads what has actually been finished, the scope zooms in steps as the night goes on, and the CONGENER label opens its explainer. The columns beneath the scope are gone.

[ LAB ]
LAB opens on a wall of five live instruments: FORMULATIONS, COMPENDIUM, MY BAR, FAVORITES and TASTE EVOLUTION, with the taste profile beneath.

[ LOGGING ]
START SESSION, + DRINK and CRAFT FORMULATION each sit on one split key. The add-drink card shows the drink's molecules turning, the same hero as the formulation page.

[ STATUS ]
At rest, STATUS drops its masthead and opens on what matters. HOME is a favourite from the first launch.

[ FIRST RUN ]
The splash plays first, then the 21+ check. Location is asked for during setup, so nearby venues and the map work from the first session.

[ ALSO ]
The Advisor says plainly when it cannot connect, and fixes throughout.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-12

[ STATUS ]
At rest, STATUS now leads with what can be made tonight: the makeable count, and a featured formulation printed as a full recipe card with its glass, its spec and what is already on the shelf. The week reads as one cell per drink.

[ ONBOARDING ]
A faster first run: five live instruments on one screen instead of five pages, the disclaimer set as numbered clauses, and permissions asked when a feature first needs them.

[ WIDGETS ]
Medium and large home-screen widgets are now free, alongside the small one.

[ SHARING ]
A formulation now shares as a single link with its card attached. It opens straight to the recipe in ETHANOL, and anyone without the app gets the full recipe and the App Store.

[ REFLEX ]
The reaction bench, rebuilt: a briefing before the run, one lit dot to hit, a three-second timeout, and a stored record that can be cleared.

[ DESIGN ]
One accent colour, used sparingly, and fewer words across STATUS, the Vault, My Bar, badges, taste evolution and Wrapped. The molecules at the top of every formulation now turn and vibrate, as on the molecule pages.

[ ALSO ]
The new splash on first launch, brighter LAB tiles, a map that fills in as soon as venues are on record, clearer Advisor error messages, layout tuned for the iPhone Duo cover screen, and fixes throughout.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-11
