Sipfulness is an alcohol tracker for people who want to drink less without putting their life on hold. Log every beer, wine or cocktail in two taps, count standard units, and watch your sober days add up. No account. No ads. No judgement. CLEAR INSIGHTS See your drinking over time with charts and trend analysis — units per day, per week, or by drink type. The full picture at a glance, not a lecture. LOG ANY DRINK Whisky, wine, cocktails, craft beer. Set your own volume and ABV, and Sipfulness works out the standard units for you using WHO, UK or US guidelines. SOBER DAYS, YOUR WAY Dry days can be counted automatically from your log, or marked by hand if you would rather stay in control. Streaks are there to encourage you, not to shame you. SLEEP QUALITY INDEX See how alcohol shows up in your sleep. SQI gives every day a simple score — drinking or dry — so the connection is hard to miss. STAY WITHIN YOUR LIMITS Set daily, weekly or monthly unit targets and watch how you are tracking against them. Progress, not perfection. TWO HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Sober Days keeps your current streak in view. Statistics puts your numbers on the Home Screen. Mindful drinking works better when it is visible. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS iCloud sync across your devices, Apple Health integration, and CSV import and export whenever you want your numbers somewhere else. Nothing sold, nothing shared. GREAT FOR • Mindful drinking and moderation • Sober curious months — Dry January, Sober October • Anyone rethinking their relationship with alcohol • People who simply like good data about themselves Remember: no amount of alcohol is completely safe. Sipfulness is a tracking tool, not medical advice.
