SipWise is a private drink tracker that helps you understand what you drink — without squeezing everything into one score. Log water, coffee, tea, soft drinks, juice, alcohol and more, then see four separate views for fluids, caffeine, free sugar and alcohol. Each tells a different story. FOUR SEPARATE VIEWS • Fluids — track non-alcoholic drinks by volume against a goal you set or personalise • Caffeine — see your estimated daily intake and how much may still be in your system • Free Sugar — track added sugar and juice sugar against a general whole-diet reference • Alcohol — see standard drinks and alcohol-free days for awareness, never as a drinking “budget” LOG DRINKS IN SECONDS • Tap one of your usual drinks for quick logging • Hold to choose a different serving size • Choose from the built-in drink library • Create your own drinks • Backdate drinks to an earlier day With SipWise Plus, you can also describe what you drank by voice or take a photo of a drink or label. AI helps fill in the details for you to review before saving. TODAY, DIARY & INSIGHTS See what you have had today, review your drink history on a calendar, and compare recent patterns over time. SipWise keeps fluids, caffeine, free sugar and alcohol separate so you can notice useful patterns without reducing everything to a single health score. GENTLE REMINDERS Optional reminders can give you a water nudge when you are behind, without repeatedly interrupting your day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your records stay on your iPhone. • No account • No sign-up • No cloud sync • Drink records and photos remain on your device SIPWISE PLUS SipWise Plus is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks AI voice and photo logging. Core manual tracking features remain available without a subscription. • Yearly subscription, priced in your local currency • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings IMPORTANT SipWise is a personal drink journal and awareness tool.
