LastCup is a fully offline caffeine tracker built around one simple question: can you still have another drink right now? Instead of focusing on complicated charts first, the app helps you make a faster decision. If you drink now, how likely is it to affect tonight's sleep? If you still want a drink, how late can you safely go? If you already had caffeine, how much is still left in your system and when will it likely clear? Version 2.0 makes this experience more direct. The home screen brings the decision card and quick logging closer to the top. A dedicated Log tab helps you record common drinks faster. History makes daily intake easier to review, and Settings centralizes reminders, feedback, and rating entry points. The overall flow is clearer and more comfortable for repeated daily use. Key features include: Quick logging for coffee, milk tea, energy drinks, and other common caffeine drinks Home screen guidance for current caffeine level, estimated clearance time, and last-cup decisions "What if I drink now?" simulation before you log a drink Repeat-last-drink shortcuts to reduce repeated input History review for a clearer look at your daily intake habits LastCup stays fully local. No login, no internet required, no data collection, no cloud sync, no ads, and no subscription. It is a lightweight daily tool designed to help you make calmer and more confident caffeine decisions. Feature requests and improvement ideas are welcome. All feedback is reviewed regularly and helps guide future updates: Email: 842797413@qq.com Or leave your thoughts in an App Store review

TimeCue helps you prepare for everyday moments that should not slip by: wake-up time, hydration, breaks, leaving home, study sessions, meetings, and personal routines. Create one-time or weekly repeating reminders with a title, time, color, and note. TimeCue uses the iOS 26+ system alarm capability to schedule reminders that you create yourself, so important moments can appear more clearly. When you want a sound that is easier to recognize, you can actively record your own reminder sound while editing a reminder. Recordings are used only for the selected reminder and can be previewed, replaced, or deleted. Key features: Create one-time and weekly repeating reminders Pause, resume, edit, and delete reminder plans Schedule alarms with the iOS system alarm capability Add colors and notes to reminders Actively record, preview, and delete custom reminder sounds No account required; reminder data and recordings stay on device TimeCue is designed for general everyday reminders. It is not a medical, safety monitoring, emergency alert, or caregiving replacement product. Alarm behavior may depend on system permissions, device settings, and iOS state, so use an additional confirmation method for especially critical plans.
