Promilaj
Read full descriptionHide full description
Promilaj is a blood alcohol content (BAC) estimation tool for those who want to track their alcohol consumption and monitor their estimated promille level using the scientifically validated Seidl model. WHAT DOES IT DO? Records the drinks you consume by category and allows you to review your history. Calculates an estimated BAC based on your height, weight, age, and biological sex. Models the absorption, plateau, and elimination phases of each drink individually for more accurate time-based estimates. Displays the legal driving limit of your country as a reference. Shows countdown timers for how long until your estimated BAC drops to the legal limit and to zero. Allows you to create two independent profiles to monitor two people separately. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER Promilaj provides only an approximate calculation. Your actual blood alcohol level may vary significantly depending on factors such as food intake, medication use, fatigue, and individual metabolism. Do not make any decisions based on the values shown. For accurate measurement, always use a certified breathalyzer and consult authorized medical or legal sources. Promilaj does not encourage alcohol consumption or driving under the influence, and provides no advice on whether it is safe to drive. That decision is entirely your own responsibility. DRINK DATABASE More than 600 brands and beverage types β including beer, wine, spirits, cocktails, liqueurs, vermouths, and cider. If a drink is not listed, you can manually enter its alcohol by volume (ABV). COUNTRY SUPPORT Legal BAC limits for 12 countries: Turkiye, Azerbaijan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Czechia, Russia, and Canada. Separate limits are provided by vehicle type: car, motorcycle, and truck/bus. LANGUAGE SUPPORT Turkish, Azerbaijani Turkish, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Czech, and Russian. PRIVACY All data is stored only on your device. No personal information is transmitted to any server.
Permille

Permille keeps track of what you drink β and how it affects you. Use it for alcohol only, for caffeine only, or for both. It follows your lead: drink coffee in the morning and you see the caffeine reading. Go out at night and you see your blood-alcohol level. Do both and you see both, side by side. ALCOHOL IN VIEW β’ Blood-alcohol estimate using the Widmark formula β with a traffic-light status and estimated time back to 0.0 β°. β’ The value rises gradually while you drink and comes down naturally β across midnight, too. β’ Water guidance: alcohol is dehydrating β the app shows how much water still helps and gently reminds you. β’ When it gets heavy, you get tips for getting home safely. CAFFEINE IN VIEW β’ How much caffeine is in you right now β calculated from its half-life, not just added up. β’ The answer that matters: when you can fall asleep well again, and when it has fully worn off. β’ A heads-up when you go past the 400 mg daily guideline. β’ Coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, cold brew, matcha, tea, cola, mate and the common energy drinks in the usual sizes β each with and without sugar. BOTH TOGETHER β’ Vodka Energy or an Espresso Martini? The app works out alcohol and caffeine separately from the same drink. β’ Worth knowing: caffeine masks tiredness, not the alcohol. The app says so whenever both are in play. β’ A coffee never counts as alcohol β your dry days and stamp card stay untouched. ALSO INSIDE β’ Daily totals: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, calories and cost. β’ Mixer: build your own drinks from an ingredient library and see every value live. β’ History & stats: your evening's curve, weekly and monthly figures, spending and patterns. β’ Optional breathalyzer cross-check, Apple Health sync and Home/Lock-Screen widgets. OUT TOGETHER β’ Friends round with a six-character code: see each other's drinks, estimated blood alcohol and water. β’ βLook after β¦β: a heads-up when someone is estimated to have drunk a lot or quickly. β’ βI'm homeβ β your round sees a house next to your name. β’ Several rounds at once, and after the trip a recap stays on your iPhone. MINDFUL, NOT ENCOURAGING Permille is built for harm reduction: water, breaks and nutrition transparency come first. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Your entries are stored on your iPhone. Only if you join a friends round do you share your status with it via iCloud β and only while you're in it. Members keep a recap of the round on their iPhone afterwards. No account, no ads. Anonymous usage statistics (can be turned off) help improve the app. IMPORTANT Blood-alcohol and caffeine values are rough estimates, NOT a measuring device. Use at your own risk, without warranty. Never use it as a basis for driving β 0.0 β° always applies behind the wheel. It does not replace medical advice. For adults only. Excessive alcohol consumption harms your health.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Permille at none against Promilaj's 4. Promilaj's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
