About

Permille

Permille keeps track of what you drink β€” 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 β€’ Blood-alcohol estimate using the Widmark formula β€” with a traffic-light status and estimated time back to 0.0 ‰. β€’ The value rises gradually while you drink and comes down naturally β€” across midnight, too. β€’ Water guidance: alcohol is dehydrating β€” the app shows how much water still helps and gently reminds you. β€’ When it gets heavy, you get tips for getting home safely. CAFFEINE IN VIEW β€’ How much caffeine is in you right now β€” calculated from its half-life, not just added up. β€’ The answer that matters: when you can fall asleep well again, and when it has fully worn off. β€’ A heads-up when you go past the 400 mg daily guideline. β€’ Coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, cold brew, matcha, tea, cola, mate and the common energy drinks in the usual sizes β€” each with and without sugar. BOTH TOGETHER β€’ Vodka Energy or an Espresso Martini? The app works out alcohol and caffeine separately from the same drink. β€’ Worth knowing: caffeine masks tiredness, not the alcohol. The app says so whenever both are in play. β€’ A coffee never counts as alcohol β€” your dry days and stamp card stay untouched. ALSO INSIDE β€’ Daily totals: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, calories and cost. β€’ Mixer: build your own drinks from an ingredient library and see every value live. β€’ History & stats: your evening's curve, weekly and monthly figures, spending and patterns. β€’ Optional breathalyzer cross-check, Apple Health sync and Home/Lock-Screen widgets. OUT TOGETHER β€’ Friends round with a six-character code: see each other's drinks, estimated blood alcohol and water. β€’ β€œLook after …”: a heads-up when someone is estimated to have drunk a lot or quickly. β€’ β€œI'm home” – your round sees a house next to your name. β€’ 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 β€” 0.0 ‰ always applies behind the wheel. It does not replace medical advice. For adults only. Excessive alcohol consumption harms your health.
