Why timing matters more than the daily total
Two people can both log 200 mg. One drinks it at 8:00 AM; the other drinks it at 4:00 PM. The bedtime estimate for those days is not the same, even if the daily total matches.
Brewlytics keeps the daily total for the intake question and adds a bedtime projection for the timing question.
How the bedtime estimate is built
Set a bedtime in the app. For each logged drink, Brewlytics estimates remaining caffeine at that clock time with the same half-life model, then sums those amounts. The website calculator can show the one-drink version of this math.
- Free: set a bedtime so the log has a sleep-time context.
- Pro: see estimated milligrams remaining at that bedtime.
- Pro widgets can surface the bedtime estimate without opening the app.
A planning number, not a sleep guarantee
There is no universal milligram cutoff that makes sleep certain. Sensitivity, dose, and timing all vary. Treat the bedtime figure as context for the next drink, not as a diagnosis or a promise about sleep quality.
