Finished your coffee? Its caffeine isn't done yet. Caff Conscious uses the drinks you log to estimate how much caffeine could still be active at bedtime. Before your next cup, see what's still with you. Today shows your estimated active caffeine now and at the bedtime you set. The estimate uses a caffeine half-life model. It is a planning aid, not a measurement, medical advice, or a promise about sleep. Each log shows the drink, serving, caffeine amount and its source, the time, and whether you drank it at once or sipped it over time. When exact data is missing, the estimate is labeled. Your usual drinks, manual entry, saving a drink for later, edit, undo, recovery when a log needs attention, and basic Apple Watch logging are free. Pro is optional. It adds Weekly Insights, longer history, comparisons with health patterns, taper planning, and report export. Logging is not behind the paywall. APPLE WATCH Caff Conscious includes an Apple Watch companion: - Quick Log from your wrist - Caffeine complication showing active caffeine - Sleep cutoff complication for Pro users Your caffeine log and health information are stored on your device. Search terms or barcodes are sent when you look up a drink in the catalog. Purchases use an app-scoped identifier and receipt data. Optional diagnostics and general product analytics follow your in-app setting. Telemetry about logging reliability is turned off in released versions.

Coffee works differently for everyone — and costs everyone different sleep. Stimly estimates when your caffeine has dropped far enough to stop getting in your way at bedtime. Most caffeine apps just count milligrams. Stimly models how caffeine actually moves through your body — using a science-backed metabolism engine calibrated to your age, weight, sensitivity and habits. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE • Live caffeine level — a real-time curve of what's active in your system now • Drinking now — log slow sips (yerba mate, big lattes) and watch absorption live • Sleep forecast — see when your body will be ready for quality sleep • Smart advice — gentle nudges when one more espresso would cost you tonight TRACK WITHOUT FRICTION • One-tap logging from your personal drinks library • Barcode scanner for bottled drinks • Daily limit with a clear budget bar (including a lower preset during pregnancy) • Symptom journal — connect how you feel to what you drank • 7-day history of everything you've logged STIMLY PRO — OPTIONAL PAID UPGRADE Everything above is free. These extras require Stimly Pro: • Tolerance tracking — see habituation build and fade week to week • Expert mode — brew method and dry mass for precision logging • Extended history — month and 90-day views • 30-day wellness export — a clean PDF of your patterns SUBSCRIPTION OR ONE-TIME PURCHASE You can get Stimly Pro in two ways: • A monthly subscription that renews automatically. • Open-ended access: one payment, no renewals, no free trial. It lasts as long as we run the Stimly service. If we end the service within 36 months of your purchase, we refund at least a proportional part of the price. See the Terms for details. Your local price is shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period — manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Buying open-ended access does not cancel an active subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays yours. No ads, no tracking across apps, no data selling. Stimly is a wellness tool for healthy adults. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice — for health concerns, talk to your doctor.
