Know what you drank. See what remains. Cafade turns coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks, and custom entries into a calm, visual estimate of caffeine remaining throughout your day. LOG IN SECONDS Search the US catalog, repeat a recent drink, or enter a custom caffeine amount. Edit or delete an entry when plans change. SEE THE CURVE Watch each drink fade over time with a simple half-life model. Scrub through your day to understand how earlier logs can still contribute to your current estimate. PLAN YOUR LAST CUP Set a personal bedtime and see when your estimated caffeine is likely to fall below your chosen level. Use the curve as a guide for your own routine. FIND YOUR PATTERNS WITH CAFADE PRO Unlock longer history, weekly patterns, sleep comparison, and what-if previews. Add a Home Screen widget for your current estimate and quick logging. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Cafade works without an account. Your entries stay on your device unless you choose to connect Apple Health. When enabled, Cafade can write logged caffeine to Dietary Caffeine in Apple Health. The first release does not read health data. Caffeine values can vary by product, size, recipe, and preparation. Cafade provides estimates for personal tracking and is not medical advice. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
