Permille keeps track of what you drink — 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 • Blood-alcohol estimate using the Widmark formula — with a traffic-light status and estimated time back to 0.0 ‰. • The value rises gradually while you drink and comes down naturally — across midnight, too. • Water guidance: alcohol is dehydrating — the app shows how much water still helps and gently reminds you. • When it gets heavy, you get tips for getting home safely. CAFFEINE IN VIEW • How much caffeine is in you right now — calculated from its half-life, not just added up. • The answer that matters: when you can fall asleep well again, and when it has fully worn off. • A heads-up when you go past the 400 mg daily guideline. • Coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, cold brew, matcha, tea, cola, mate and the common energy drinks in the usual sizes — each with and without sugar. BOTH TOGETHER • Vodka Energy or an Espresso Martini? The app works out alcohol and caffeine separately from the same drink. • Worth knowing: caffeine masks tiredness, not the alcohol. The app says so whenever both are in play. • A coffee never counts as alcohol — your dry days and stamp card stay untouched. ALSO INSIDE • Daily totals: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, calories and cost. • Mixer: build your own drinks from an ingredient library and see every value live. • History & stats: your evening's curve, weekly and monthly figures, spending and patterns. • Optional breathalyzer cross-check, Apple Health sync and Home/Lock-Screen widgets. OUT TOGETHER • Friends round with a six-character code: see each other's drinks, estimated blood alcohol and water. • “Look after …”: a heads-up when someone is estimated to have drunk a lot or quickly. • “I'm home” – your round sees a house next to your name. • 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 – 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 — 0.0 ‰ always applies behind the wheel. It does not replace medical advice. For adults only. Excessive alcohol consumption harms your health.
