HOW MUCH ALCOHOL DO YOU ACTUALLY DRINK? AND WHAT DOES IT DO TO YOUR BODY? It’s easy to underestimate how much alcohol you drink. And even harder to see exactly how alcohol affects your sleep, heart rate, and recovery. KaterZerro helps you find out both. Log your drinks, link your alcohol consumption to Apple Health, and compare days with and without alcohol. You’ll be surprised by what your own health data tells you. Dry January? Sober October? Why not start your own challenge? Count your alcohol-free days and share your achievements as a short video on Instagram, TikTok, or even LinkedIn ;-) TRACK YOUR DRINKS β€’ Log drinks in seconds – with one β€œclick”, Siri, or Shortcuts β€’ A night out doesn’t necessarily end before midnight. Your drinking analysis doesn’t either (7am to 7am) β€’ Keep an eye on everything with widgets and Live Activities ANALYZE YOUR DATA β€’ Spot drinking patterns by amount, drink type, or time and get an AI summary of your drinking habits (optional) β€’ Compare alcohol-free days with days when you drank different amounts (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10+ standard drinks of 14 g alcohol each) β€’ Discover differences in sleep, heart rate, HRV, and recovery using your own health data β€’ Get warnings when you exceed daily, weekly, or monthly guidelines (NHS, DGE, CCSA, and others) COUNT YOUR ALCOHOL-FREE DAYS Track your alcohol-free periods, start monthly challenges, and share your achievements as a short video directly from the app. PRIVACY FIRST. No account, no backend, no user tracking, and no ads. Your health data stays in Apple Health, and the analyses run directly on your iPhone. Optional AI features use Apple Intelligence on your device or through Private Cloud Compute. You can disable Apple Intelligence at any time in iOS Settings.

About

BORGCoach

Read full description

BORGCoach is an AI running coach that makes sense of all your health and training data, then builds one adaptive plan around your race, fitness, and consistency goals. Connect Garmin or Apple Health, or start without a watch. Raw numbers don't make you faster. BORGCoach reads your sleep, readiness, HRV, training load, recent runs, and even the wind, works out how they fit together, and turns them into a plan that changes when you do. Slept badly, missed a day, or caught a headwind? The plan adjusts and tells you why. Most training apps assume you want exactly one thing. Real life is messier. You might want a faster 10K, to lose a few kilos, and to run consistently, and those goals pull against each other. BORGCoach holds several goals at once and balances the trade-offs in a single weekly plan, with the right detail for each goal. START WITH A CONVERSATION BORGCoach opens with a short chat. It asks a few useful questions, explains what each answer changes, runs a quick plain-language safety check, and shows you a personalized starter plan before you create an account. ONE PLAN THAT ADAPTS TO YOU β€’ Set a race date, a pace, a distance, or a weight target, or just build an aerobic base β€’ See a seven-day schedule with today front and center β€’ Your plan responds to sleep, readiness, recovery, and weather, including wind speed β€’ Adjust your long-run day and available days, and the plan adapts safely β€’ Regenerate the week in a tap when life changes TODAY Open the app to see your next session, your readiness, and your coach's read on both. Everything is cached for instant loading and refreshed in the background. A COACH THAT SHOWS ITS WORK BORGCoach explains its decisions in plain language, checks in as you go, and keeps a coach journal of reflections and adaptations. After meaningful sessions it offers post-run coaching. You can always see why this week looks the way it does. PROGRESS Track personal records and predicted times, weekly distance, and consistency and recovery milestones, each with an explainable measurement. Rewards are private. There are no public leaderboards. YOUR DATA, MADE USEFUL Connect Garmin Connect to sync activities, sleep, HRV, training status, body composition, devices, badges, and gear. On iPhone you can also connect Apple Health for read-only activity, workout, sleep, and fitness signals. The Android companion app reads Health Connect. Your data syncs across your devices. With no watch or health source, log complete, modified, or skipped sessions by hand with effort, feel, and notes. Coaching works from day one. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN Send today's workout to your watch, and keep your next session in view with widgets. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your BORGCoach account is the home for coaching, and your data is isolated to it. Passwords are hashed with Argon2id and source credentials are encrypted. We never sell your data. FOR IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC One universal app, with Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion support built in. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, and Swedish. START FREE Start with the Free plan, or take a two-week free trial of Premium with the yearly subscription and cancel anytime before it ends. The monthly subscription has no free trial. After the trial, the yearly subscription renews annually at the price shown unless you cancel before renewal. Apple determines offer eligibility. BORGCoach provides fitness coaching, not medical advice. Always consult a qualified clinician before starting or changing an exercise program.
