Feel good tonight. Feel great tomorrow. Pound is a quiet drink-pacing companion for iPhone and Apple Watch. Tell it what you're drinking, and it watches the clock so you don't have to — keeping your night on the right side of the line between a good time and a long morning. HOW A NIGHT WITH POUND GOES - Set up your night. Pick what you're drinking; Pound sets your pace from your profile, not a generic chart. - Watch the glass. Your drink appears on screen and drains in real time. Glance at the app, glance at your actual glass — you'll know in a second if you're running ahead. - Get a quiet nudge. No lectures. Just a gentle tap on your wrist when it's a good moment to slow down or reach for water. - Rate your morning. One tap on how you feel, plus an optional note to next-time you. Pound remembers, even when you don't. WHAT'S IN THE GLASS - A live glass that drains at the pace your body actually sets - A picker of real beers, wines, cocktails, and seltzers — true ABVs and serving sizes - 300+ classic cocktails built in, plus a custom builder: glass, color, ABV - Morning ratings and private notes that quietly make next time smarter - An Apple Watch app and Lock/Home Screen widgets, so the glass is always a glance away ONE PRICE, ONCE $4.99, one time. No subscription, no trial, no tiers, no upsells. Buy it, keep it, get every future update. YOUR NIGHT, NOBODY'S BUSINESS Your weight, drinks, ratings, and notes live on your iPhone. No account, no server that knows your name, nothing sold to anyone. Delete the app and it all goes with it. Pound estimates your pace using the Widmark formula and the profile you set. It's a pacing guide — not a breathalyzer, not a medical device — and it can't tell you whether it's safe to drive. If you feel impaired, you are. Always drink responsibly, and never drive after drinking.
