Drink Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drink Journal is a private diary for recording drinks and the moments around them. Add drinks, note the time and optional meal context, then view a neutral summary of servings, total volume, and session duration. Mark alcohol-free days, revisit entries, and create shareable portrait or landscape cards. It is a diary, not a measuring, medical, legal, or driving-safety tool. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads and unlocks unlimited summaries.

Drink Journal's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
