Love coffee and still want to sleep? CaffeineMate tells you when to stop. Caffeine leaves everyone at a different speed. CaffeineMate estimates your personal caffeine half-life from your weight, age and sensitivity, then turns every drink you log into one live curve: what is in your system now, when it peaks, and how much will be left at bedtime. YOUR LAST CALL Set your bedtime and CaffeineMate works out your Last Call: the latest time for caffeine that still clears before you sleep. Have that afternoon cold brew or skip it, knowing what it means for tonight. SEE CAFFEINE LEAVE YOUR BODY A real-time metabolism curve shows your current level in mg, your peaks and the moment you drop below the level that is friendly to sleep.
