About

NOMIHAM

Features

The more you drink, the more Nomiham changes. NOMIHAM is a drinking diary. Log what you drink and it works out the pure alcohol in grams, then a hamster named Nomiham shows you how the night is going. Snap a can or label and AI reads the drink and its strength for you. Use it to cut back, to keep alcohol-free days, or just to know your numbers. WHAT IT DOES • One-tap logging from 85 drinks (beer, wine, whisky, sake, cocktails and more). Pure alcohol is calculated from volume and strength. • Enter grams directly, save your own drinks, and re-log recent ones in a tap. Search by name. • Log with a photo and AI: snap a can or label and NOMIHAM reads the drink type, ABV and volume and suggests a match. Label text is read on your device; for cans without a printed ABV or drinks in a glass, AI makes an estimate (the photo is sent only if you choose to, after you agree). Keep the photo with the record, and log library photos at the time they were taken. • Estimated calories and carbs for every drink. • Nomiham changes with today's total: Fresh, Mellow, Tipsy, Drunk, Wasted, Gone. • An estimate of how much alcohol is still in your body and when it will clear, based on your weight. You get a notification when the estimate reaches zero. • Set your own daily limit. When you pass it, or drink too fast, NOMIHAM stops you with a full-screen alert and a Time Sensitive notification. • Calendar and stats by day, week, month and year, with alcohol-free days and an hour-by-hour chart of estimated remaining alcohol. • Alcohol-free streaks: Nomiham gets healthier the longer you go without a drink. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and an Apple Watch app with complications. • Share today's Nomiham as an image. • Everything stays on your device. No account needed. FOR CUTTING BACK, ALCOHOL-FREE DAYS, OR QUITTING • Cutting back: weekly and monthly totals with a comparison to the previous period show whether you are drinking less. Nomiham's look changes at 20 g and 40 g of pure alcohol. • Alcohol-free days: the streak grows from day 1 to day 1000, and Nomiham cheers you on. • Reminders to log, a weekly review, and encouragement on alcohol-free days. PLEASE READ The remaining amount and clearance time are estimates calculated from your weight. They vary a lot with body, condition and food, and must not be used to decide whether to drive or do anything dangerous. Never drive after drinking. Follow the drinking age in your country. PRICE Free. A banner ad appears at the bottom of the calendar. A one-time purchase removes ads. SUPPORT https://nomiham.com/support
