The main objective of Drunkenstein is to help you not become a Drunkenstein. Someone that drank more alcohol than they should have. Optimized for social drinking and social events β€’ Not alcohol shaming - Drunkenstein don't want to shame you for drinking (unless you want it to), but rather help assist you having a nice time without things running too much out of control β€’ Co-pilot - Select the co-pilot profile fitted for that special social event, or create your own. The co-pilot will assist you through the event and hopefully "land" you successfully at some point β€’ Pace control - Set a drinking pace and get reminders for pace control. These reminders can be customized in many ways. Also the co-pilot will give you hints if pacing or not, and optionally auto adjust reminders to fix pace β€’ Alerts - Set up alerts to for example remind yourself of food, water and when close to reaching your limits β€’ Social event details and history - Keep a record of all your social events, note details about the event, rate each event in different categories, add a picture etc. β€’ Reminders - Customizable notification reminders for each co-pilot profile. These can contain text and pictures (sometimes pictures are stronger than words) β€’ Event tracking - Add what you're drinking, and how strong it is, and also optionally add other event details (could be food, some funny situation, photos, transport and such) β€’ Quick buttons and presets - You should focus on the event and not on an app, so quick buttons and presets can be customized by you to fit what you most frequently add (like beer, wine, water etc.). Reminder notifications will also have some quick buttons, so you don't even have to open the App β€’ Traffic light - A simplified way to quickly tell if you're pacing or not via a traffic light (red, yellow, green). It also tells how many minutes are left to a green light and other timing details β€’ Sharing - Share and compare social event cards with friends, and select which details should be shared on the event card, and which shouldn't β€’ Activities - Start a social event or add a single drink entry for tracking your consumption. Additionally, you can take a sober challenge and earn an achievement, or you can try guess the amount of drinks consumed when starting an event, and earn an achievement if correct β€’ Hydration - There's a build in daily hydration activity as well, for example to make sure you are hydrated before, and after a social event β€’ Charts and statistics - Follow your ups and downs, and progress via charts and statistics β€’ Interface - Dark and light mode, several visual themes, in a relaxed interface to feel more at home. Drunk friendly interface as well β€’ Alert someone - Alerts can optionally call external services (Smart Home, Discord, IFTTT etc.) via webhooks to also alert someone else β€’ Fun - Why so serious? :-) Level up and earn achievements β€’ Tools - An alcohol unit calculator supporting various formats and standards. Flip a virtual coin to (let destiny) decide if the next drink is non-alcohol or not. Dice functionality to cover some basic dice games β€’ Lab - The lab has some more advanced experimental optional features (like blood alcohol concentration) β€’ Privacy - Your data is not sent anywhere, the App works offline. There's no need for any cloud account creation or login β€’ Free - That App is free. If you like the App there's an paid option to unlock extra functionality and content β€’ No ads - But there might be some cats For more info visit: https://drunkenstein.com
