Stay composed and keep track of your drinks! Maintain a moderate (low-risk) level of alcohol consumption while also finding motivation to drink less and save money. With DrinkLog, you can monitor, comprehend, and make positive changes. Unlike other apps, DrinkLog demystifies units of alcohol (standard drinks) in a way that helps you truly understand the guidelines for moderate/low-risk alcohol consumption. Consider DrinkLog your personal alcohol consumption diary, enabling you to easily track what you drink and when. This accountability is crucial for making positive changes such as reducing the frequency, opting for lighter beverages, or even embarking on a sober streak. Instead of mindlessly consuming beer, wine, or spirits without considering their actual impact, DrinkLog empowers you with knowledge about the drinks you consume, including their alcohol content and calorie count. Whether you need to cut down on alcohol under the guidance of a doctor, save money, or lose weight, tracking your drinks will support moderation and help you achieve your goals.

Permille keeps track of what you drink — and how it affects you. Use it for alcohol only, for caffeine only, or for both. It follows your lead: drink coffee in the morning and you see the caffeine reading. Go out at night and you see your blood-alcohol level. Do both and you see both, side by side. ALCOHOL IN VIEW • Blood-alcohol estimate using the Widmark formula — with a traffic-light status and estimated time back to 0.0 ‰. • The value rises gradually while you drink and comes down naturally — across midnight, too. • Water guidance: alcohol is dehydrating — the app shows how much water still helps and gently reminds you. • When it gets heavy, you get tips for getting home safely. CAFFEINE IN VIEW • How much caffeine is in you right now — calculated from its half-life, not just added up. • The answer that matters: when you can fall asleep well again, and when it has fully worn off. • A heads-up when you go past the 400 mg daily guideline. • Coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, cold brew, matcha, tea, cola, mate and the common energy drinks in the usual sizes — each with and without sugar. BOTH TOGETHER • Vodka Energy or an Espresso Martini? The app works out alcohol and caffeine separately from the same drink. • Worth knowing: caffeine masks tiredness, not the alcohol. The app says so whenever both are in play. • A coffee never counts as alcohol — your dry days and stamp card stay untouched. ALSO INSIDE • Daily totals: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, calories and cost. • Mixer: build your own drinks from an ingredient library and see every value live. • History & stats: your evening's curve, weekly and monthly figures, spending and patterns. • Optional breathalyzer cross-check, Apple Health sync and Home/Lock-Screen widgets. OUT TOGETHER • Friends round with a six-character code: see each other's drinks, estimated blood alcohol and water. • “Look after …”: a heads-up when someone is estimated to have drunk a lot or quickly. • “I'm home” – your round sees a house next to your name. • Several rounds at once, and after the trip a recap stays on your iPhone. MINDFUL, NOT ENCOURAGING Permille is built for harm reduction: water, breaks and nutrition transparency come first. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Your entries are stored on your iPhone. Only if you join a friends round do you share your status with it via iCloud – and only while you're in it. Members keep a recap of the round on their iPhone afterwards. No account, no ads. Anonymous usage statistics (can be turned off) help improve the app. IMPORTANT Blood-alcohol and caffeine values are rough estimates, NOT a measuring device. Use at your own risk, without warranty. Never use it as a basis for driving — 0.0 ‰ always applies behind the wheel. It does not replace medical advice. For adults only. Excessive alcohol consumption harms your health.
