Tipsy is a personal drink-tracking journal for nights out. Log what you drink in two taps, see your calories and spending add up in real time, and keep a clean record of your nights. Tipsy is a tracker — not a sobriety meter, not a medical device, and not a measure of intoxication or fitness to drive. FEATURES • Two-tap drink logging with 30+ presets (beer, wine, spirits, cocktails, seltzers, sake, cider) backed by USDA beverage data and brand nutrition labels • Custom drink builder — set your own oz, ABV, and calories • Drinks-per-hour pace indicator with friendly slow-down nudges • Session goal — set a max drinks per night and watch your progress • Calorie equivalents — see every drink in food and exercise units • Weekly and monthly insights with calorie and spending breakdowns • Sober-streak tracker with achievement badges • Last-call countdown with one-tap Uber and Lyft shortcuts • Hydration tracker with a "one water per drink" target • Group leaderboards for nights out with friends you add • Native share sheet for sharing your session summary • Drink of the day and rotating alcohol-education facts • Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google, or email • In-app account deletion (Settings → Delete Account) PRIVACY Your data stays yours. Account data and drink history are stored in your private Firebase account. We do not sell data, show ads, or use third-party analytics. Sign in with Apple lets you keep your email private via Apple's private email relay. DISCLAIMER Tipsy is a tracking and education tool only. The app does not measure or estimate intoxication, blood alcohol content, sobriety, or fitness to drive. No software-only app can do that accurately. Never drive after drinking — when in doubt, use the in-app Safe Ride button. Must be 21+
