Vesper
Vesper is a mindful-drinking tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. It keeps a one-tap count of your night, shows how you're doing against a limit you set yourself, and helps you notice how it all adds up over time.
It's built for the people the sobriety apps leave out: those who still enjoy a drink and just want to stay in control of it. No streaks to break, no guilt, no lectures. If you'd like to write about it, everything you need is on this page. Anything missing, just ask.
The basics
The story
Almost every app that touches alcohol is built to make you stop. Day counters, streaks, sobriety milestones. That's the right thing for a lot of people, but it's the wrong tool if you simply want to drink a little more mindfully.
Vesper takes the other side. It never refuses to log a drink and it never lectures you. You set your own limit before a night out, tap a big button each time you have one, and a calm gauge shows how you're doing. The first drink starts the night on its own, and the session closes itself once things wind down.
The part people tend to remember is the next morning. A single tap notes how you woke up, rough, okay, or good, and over time Vesper ties how you felt back to how much you drank.
“Every app I tried wanted me to quit, with a lot of guilt attached. I didn't want to quit. I wanted to pay a bit more attention. So I built the app I was looking for: log what you drink to Health and find your tipping point with clear insights.”
Worth a mention
- Moderation, not quitting. The opposite stance to streak and sobriety apps. It records your drinking nights as they actually happened.
- The morning-after check-in. One tap ties how you felt to how much you drank, so you learn your own tipping point.
- Built for the moment. One-handed, one-tap logging that works in a loud, dark bar.
- All the way into Apple's stack. Native Apple Watch app, Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Live Activity with Dynamic Island, and Siri.
- Honest by design. The active-units estimate is clearly a rough guide, never a claim that you're fit to drive.
- Private. On device by default. Apple Health is opt-in and no data ever leaves your device.
