## What is PauseCafé?

How much caffeine is still in me before I sleep? Am I drinking enough in this heat?

Track your caffeine AND your hydration, make progress, and earn real rewards.

Log every drink in one tap, pick its size, stay under your daily limit, reach your hydration goal, and unlock badges, points and real gifts.

ACTIVE CAFFEINE & HEALTH (Premium)
- Active caffeine: how much caffeine is estimated to still be in your body, in real time. It rises with every drink then falls over the hours, so you know at a glance how much will be left at bedtime. Shown in the app, on the widget, on Apple Watch and as complications on your watch face.
- Health app sync: write your caffeine and water to Health and keep them alongside the rest of your data.
- Caffeine, sleep and heart insights: see the link between your caffeine and how you actually sleep, and between your caffeine and your resting heart rate. These insights use Health app data and are computed on your device: they never leave your iPhone.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.7 — 2026-08-17

The barcode scanner now logs what you drink, not what the packaging holds.

CHOOSE YOUR VOLUME
Scan a 1.5 litre bottle, say you're having one glass: the caffeine is
recalculated accordingly. Three formats in one tap, plus free entry.

HYDRATION IS FINALLY COUNTED
The volume of a scanned drink feeds your water counter. Sparkling water or
herbal tea can now be logged with no caffeine at all, and counts in full
towards your hydration.

KEEP YOUR DRINKS
A checkbox saves the scanned drink. You'll find it again in one tap, on iPhone
and Apple Watch, with no need to rescan.

FASTER, EVEN OFFLINE
Products you've already scanned are kept for thirty days: the second scan is
instant and works without a connection. The data fetched is also far lighter.

CLEARER
The product photo and brand are shown, so you can check at a glance that the
right item was scanned.

FIXES
The EFSA mark shown on the home screen is corrected. The 200 to 400 mg range is
no longer flagged as a warning: EFSA considers that up to 400 mg a day raises no
concern for a healthy adult. Opening the scanner no longer briefly freezes the
interface.

### 1.3.6 — 2026-08-12

This version expands compatibility and fixes several bugs.

IMPROVEMENTS
- The app is now compatible with a wider range of iPhone and Apple Watch models.
- The delay between two entries has been reduced from 30 to 5 seconds: you can log your drinks faster, while still being able to cancel right after.

### 1.3.4 — 2026-07-18

Cette version élargit la compatibilité et corrige plusieurs bugs.
AMÉLIORATIONS
- L'application est désormais compatible avec un plus grand nombre d'iPhone et d'Apple Watch.
- Le délai entre deux enregistrements passe de 30 à 5 secondes : tu peux ajouter tes boissons plus rapidement, avec toujours la possibilité d'annuler juste après.

### 1.3.3 — 2026-07-15

Cette version corrige trois bugs.
CORRECTIONS
- Badges de dates : les badges liés à une date spéciale (14 juillet, Noël, Saint-Valentin, Halloween…) pouvaient se déclencher trop tôt, avant la fin de la journée concernée. C'est corrigé.
- Conseil caféine active : dans les 4 heures précédant l'heure de coucher, l'app suggère désormais de privilégier une boisson décaféinée plutôt que d'encourager un café supplémentaire.
- Rapport hebdomadaire : le dimanche apparaissait à 0 mg de caféine dans le récap email. Les données du dimanche sont désormais correctement intégrées.

### 1.3.2 — 2026-07-11

Cette version apporte une correction et une amélioration du conseil caféine.
Information de bien-être, à titre indicatif, sans valeur médicale.
