Caffeine is a performance tool. Most people never use it like one. CafTrack shows you how much caffeine is really in your system, when it peaks and when it clears, then plans your day around it. Sharper when it counts, still asleep by midnight. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Small and medium widgets show what is active, your next dose and when you are clear to sleep. Most people never open the app to check. TRACK IN SECONDS Type a drink or scan a barcode, both free. Snap a photo, say it out loud or pick from the drinks library with Pro. KNOW WHAT IS ACTIVE Live active caffeine, not a daily total. Every dose still working in you, and the exact minute you are clear to sleep. MEET YOUR AI STRATEGIST A dosing plan for your day that adapts every time you log. Want two coffees in an hour before a deadline? Tell it, and it sets them. Ask it anything: when to dose, what to drink before a run, when to stop for a clean night. BUILT ON YOUR BODY Link Apple Health and your sleep, heart rate and workouts shape every recommendation. Set a peak window for the hours that matter. Plan gel timing for your runs. PROTECT YOUR SLEEP Caffeine's half life is over five hours. That 3pm coffee is why you are awake at 2am. CafTrack shows your clear by time, a cutoff that fits your evenings, and a projected sleep chart so you can see the real cost. YOUR WEEKLY REPORT Every Sunday: intake against target, sleep protection, top drinks, how closely you matched your plan, and what to change next week. MAKE IT YOURS Set a daily performance target, choose your cutoff, and pick from ten themes. FREE VS PRO Free: type and barcode logging, live dashboard, home screen widget, five themes. Pro: photo and voice logging, drinks library, AI Strategist, Apple Health, peak window, sleep preview and insights, run fuelling, weekly reports, full trends, five more themes, no ads. 7 day free trial. Pro pays for the servers and the AI, and that is the job done. I built this app because my own coffee stopped working. Built and answered by one person. Your first insight is one drink away.

About

Cyril

Forward anything school-related to Cyril, an email, a reminder, even a photo of a paper letter, and Cyril reads it and turns it into one clear plan for your family. Every date, deadline and to-do, sorted by child, labelled by school. Seven days free, then ยฃ6.99 a month or ยฃ59.99 a year. One subscription covers your whole household (up to five adults). School admin has a way of piling up. The newsletters, the payment reminders, the class chat, the letter at the bottom of the school bag. It arrives from everywhere, and somehow it all lands on you. Cyril sorts it. YOUR SCHOOL'S DATES, ALREADY IN Pick your school and its term dates, half terms and INSET days are already in your plan, for thousands of schools. Where your school publishes a calendar, Cyril reads that too and keeps it current. A PLAN THAT BUILDS ITSELF Forward what the school sends and Cyril pulls out every date, deadline and payment. Everything flows into your own Apple or Google calendar. REMINDERS YOU CAN TRUST Cyril nudges you the evening before, not after. The consent form, the kit, the payment, the non-uniform day, the trip. Nothing slips through. ASK CYRIL ANYTHING "What does Olivia have this week?" "When does term end?" Cyril answers from your own school updates, showing where each answer came from. THE WHOLE FAMILY, ON THE SAME PAGE One subscription covers your whole household. Invite both parents and anyone who helps with the school run, so everyone sees the same plan. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Cyril never reads your inbox. You forward only what matters, and your family's information stays yours. Sort your school admin, and get your head back.
