Quit caffeine the smart way. Evidence-based tapering means no brutal withdrawal headaches, just steady progress toward better sleep, less anxiety, and more natural energy. WHY TAPERING WORKS Cold turkey has a 62% relapse rate. Gradual reduction (cutting caffeine by 25% every 3-4 days) achieves 75-84% sustained reduction in clinical trials. Stop Coffee builds this personalised schedule automatically based on your current intake. TRACK EVERY CAFFEINE SOURCE • Log coffee, espresso, cold brew, tea, energy drinks, and soda • 50+ beverages with clinically accurate caffeine values • Create and save custom drinks with your exact caffeine content • Daily totals, weekly trends, and full history • Optionally sync logged drinks to Apple Health and read your sleep data back to see how caffeine affects it UNDERSTAND WITHDRAWAL Headaches, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating: these are real, medically recognised withdrawal symptoms (DSM-5 code 292.0). Stop Coffee tracks them and shows where you are on the recovery timeline: • Symptoms typically peak at 48-72 hours • Physical symptoms resolve within 2-9 days • Sleep improves within the first week for most users YOUR TAPERING PLAN • Enter your current daily caffeine intake as a baseline • Choose your reduction timeline (2 to 6 weeks) • Follow daily targets that decrease by 25% each week • Track your progress and build a streak THE SCIENCE OF DEPENDENCE Caffeine works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. Stop suddenly and your adenosine system is overwhelmed, causing the headaches and fatigue of withdrawal. Gradual tapering lets your receptor density normalise slowly, preventing the worst symptoms entirely. THE TAPERING DIFFERENCE Most caffeine apps help you log intake. Only Stop Coffee helps you methodically reduce it, using the same gradual reduction protocol that clinical research has validated for long-term success. It's the difference between tracking a habit and actually changing it. Start your free trial today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ZeroBrew: A kinder way to quit caffeine. ZeroBrew helps you taper off caffeine gradually — no cold turkey, no shame, no crashes. Just a personalized plan that meets you where you are and gently lowers your intake, one day at a time. ZeroBrew requires an auto-renewing subscription to access. A 3-day free trial is available on the Yearly plan. Most people fail to quit caffeine because cold turkey is brutal. Headaches, fatigue, brain fog, lost productivity — three days in, you're back to your morning espresso. ZeroBrew works differently. It builds a taper plan around your current intake, your typical drinks, and your chosen pace, then walks you through it with daily targets that shrink slowly enough that your nervous system barely notices. HOW IT WORKS – Tell ZeroBrew about your habit. Your usual drinks, when you have them, what you spend. About 60 seconds. – Get your taper plan. A personalized daily ceiling that lowers gradually over a few weeks. You choose the pace: gentle, steady, or fast. – Log every drink in one tap. Espresso, latte, energy drink, matcha, cold brew, soda — all the common drinks are preset. Add your own in seconds. – Watch the proof build. Sleep recovering. Energy steadying. Money saved. Real numbers from your own life, day after day. WHAT MAKES ZEROBREW DIFFERENT Most caffeine apps treat quitting as a streak. Miss a day, lose everything. ZeroBrew rejects that. You're succeeding from day one as long as you stay under your daily ceiling — even if that ceiling still includes your morning coffee. Quitting kindly means quitting realistically. FEATURES (REQUIRES SUBSCRIPTION) – Personalized taper plan based on your current intake – Daily ceiling that lowers gradually over time – One-tap logging for 10 preset drinks, plus custom drinks – Daily check-ins to track sleep, energy, and mood – Trigger tracking (post-lunch slump, stress, mornings, social) to understand your patterns – Progress dashboard showing caffeine cut, money saved, and projected savings – Calendar view of your journey, day by day – Catch-up flow for days you forgot to log – No accounts required, no ads, no data sold WHO ZEROBREW IS FOR Adults who drink coffee, tea, or energy drinks daily and want to cut back. People who have tried cold turkey and failed. Anyone tired of poor sleep, afternoon crashes, caffeine-related anxiety, or spending hundreds of dollars a month on drinks that no longer feel optional. IMPORTANT ZeroBrew is a personal tracking tool, not medical advice. If you have a medical condition, take medication that interacts with caffeine, or are pregnant, please consult a healthcare professional before changing your caffeine intake. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS ZeroBrew is a subscription-based app. All features described above are available only with an active subscription.
