SipNote is a beautifully designed caffeine and beverage tracker for coffee, tea, milk tea, and energy drink lovers. Built local-first for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Snap a photo of any drink — on-device OCR auto-fills brand, drink, and size. No typing. No cloud upload. Your data stays on your device. — WHAT MAKES SIPNOTE DIFFERENT — • PHOTO LOG WITH ON-DEVICE OCR Point your camera at a cup, receipt, or label. SipNote recognizes hundreds of brands — Starbucks, Luckin, HEYTEA, Naixue, Manner, KFC, plus generic coffee shops and bottled drinks — and fills in caffeine content automatically. Vision framework runs on your device. Nothing uploaded. • REAL-TIME CAFFEINE METABOLISM A live curve shows the caffeine currently in your bloodstream based on half-life math. The 'clear by HH:mm' estimate tells you when your level will drop below the sleep-safe threshold — so you know whether to drink another coffee. • APPLE WATCH NATIVE Glance at your current caffeine level on the watch face. Modular, Modular Compact, Modular Large, Corner, Inline, Circular, Graphic Bezel, Graphic Corner, and Graphic Circular complications all supported. Series 9+ Double Tap gesture logs your most-frequent drink. • BOBA, MILK TEA, AND ASIAN BEVERAGES Unlike Western trackers that treat boba as 'generic tea,' SipNote ships with 30+ Asian beverages and brands native — naixue boba, HEYTEA cheese milk tea, KFC iced coffee, popular bottled teas, and more. • NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. Everything you need to log and view is included at no additional purchase. Optional one-time Pro in-app purchase adds bedtime alerts, full unlimited history, drink map, CSV export, and Apple Watch quick-add tiles. • PRIVACY BY DEFAULT 100% on-device storage. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud round-trips. iCloud sync is optional and end-to-end-encrypted by Apple. We literally cannot see your data. — WHO IS SIPNOTE FOR? — • People who want to know whether their afternoon coffee will affect sleep • Boba and milk tea drinkers who track Western caffeine apps fail • Pregnant or trying-to-conceive folks watching daily caffeine intake • Anyone reducing caffeine without going cold turkey • Anyone who has tried HiCoffee, RECaf, Caffi, or UpCoffee and wanted something faster to log into — PRICING — Daily logging and basic features are included at no additional purchase. One-time Pro in-app purchase — never a subscription. Pay once, own forever. — FEEDBACK — Made by one person (Peter Zhang).

DRINK RESPONSIBLY WITH PRECISION THAT MATTERS Last Pour isn't just another BAC calculator. It's the first tracking app built for people who take drinking safety seriously and refuse to gamble with guesswork. WHY LAST POUR BEATS OTHER BAC APPS Most BAC trackers fail when you need them most. They use outdated weight data, give dangerously optimistic readings, and reset randomly at midnight regardless of your actual drinking pattern. Last Pour was designed by people who understand that a 10-15 pound weight change can mean the difference between 0.02 and 0.05 BAC - the difference between safe and unsafe. FEATURES THAT KEEP YOU SAFER DYNAMIC WEIGHT UPDATES Every drinking session starts with a current weight check. Your weight fluctuates more than you think, and accurate BAC depends on getting this right every single time. CONSERVATIVE CALCULATIONS While other apps encourage risky behavior with liberal estimates, Last Pour adds a 20 percent safety buffer to all calculations. We'd rather you wait an extra hour than make a dangerous mistake. PRECISION DRINK LOGGING Log exact ounces and alcohol percentage instead of vague "one beer" entries. The difference between a 4 percent light beer and 7 percent IPA is massive for your BAC. MANUAL SESSION CONTROL You decide when your drinking session starts and ends. No more apps that randomly reset at midnight while alcohol is still in your system. REAL-TIME ELIMINATION TRACKING Watch your BAC decrease hour by hour based on proven alcohol elimination rates. Know exactly when you're approaching safe levels instead of playing guessing games. CONSTANT SAFETY REMINDERS Clear disclaimers remind you that no app replaces good judgment. These are estimates for awareness, not medical or legal advice. WHO USES LAST POUR Safety-conscious social drinkers who want to enjoy themselves responsibly without anxiety about their limits. Designated drivers who need to track their consumption precisely to ensure they can drive safely later. Anyone who has ever wondered "Am I okay to drive?" or "Should I have another drink?" and wanted a reliable answer based on science, not guesswork. THE LAST POUR DIFFERENCE Other BAC apps treat alcohol tracking like a game. Last Pour treats it like the serious safety tool it should be. We prioritize accuracy over convenience and safety over optimism. Every calculation errs on the conservative side because we know you're making real decisions with real consequences. Whether you're planning to drive home, deciding on another round, or just want awareness of your consumption, Last Pour gives you the most reliable estimates available in any consumer app. DOWNLOAD NOW AND DRINK WITH CONFIDENCE Stop gambling with inaccurate BAC guesses.
