ETHANOL // DRINK CHEMISTRY HUD

ETHANOL

Drink chemistry, demystified.

Every pour logged as grams of ethanol and milligrams of congeners — the trace compounds behind a drink's color, aroma, and character. Counts, elapsed time, and a pace read measured against prior nights. No sliders. No guesses. A brutalist HUD for what is in the glass.

[ 01 // WHAT IT TRACKS ]
01

Session Scope

Two traces, both running totals: cumulative grams of ethanol logged, cumulative milligrams of congeners. Counts what was poured, nothing else.

02

Pace Read

Steady or fast, judged against prior nights — an operator's own history, never a universal rulebook.

03

Telemetry

Drinks, sessions, calories, and spend across 7 / 30 / 90 / 365-day windows. Peaks marked, deltas tracked.

04

Flavor Fingerprint

The congener profile of every pour. The chemistry behind the taste, charted.

05

Menu Scan

A photograph of any drink menu, read and annotated with chemistry, strength, and congener notes. 15 a month free.

06

The Lab

206 cocktail formulations, custom builds, and favorites. One formulation featured each day.

07

Compendium

41 signature molecules across six families, unlocking pour by pour — gin's terpenes, tequila's methyl anthranilate.

08

The Atlas

Sessions pin to a map. The venue picker learns the usual spots and predicts the night's setting.

09

Wrist + Lock Screen

Count and pace mirrored to Apple Watch, widgets, and the Dynamic Island. One tap logs a drink.

10

Bar Inventory

What can be made from what is on the shelf. Bottle labels scan straight into stock.

11

Monthly Wrapped

The month compressed to a single telemetry sheet, alongside k-anonymous benchmarks — never an individual.

12

Insights // AI

Pattern, health, and spend signals surfaced from the data. Observed, not nagged.

TELEMETRY // GRAIN-LEVEL HISTORY

Every session, charted

Drinks, sessions, calories, and spend across rolling windows — 7, 30, 90, 365 days. Peaks flagged, deltas tracked, the drink mix broken out by category.

  • 7 / 30 / 90 / 365-day windows
  • Drinks · sessions · kcal · spend
  • Category mix, week over week
Telemetry on a 30-day window — tiles for 32 drinks, 4,820 kcal, $382 spend and 2 dry days, above a smoothed five-day-mean drinks trend line with its peak of 6 flagged, and a drink-mix bar split across beer, wine, cocktail and shot
COMPENDIUM // THE CHEMISTRY OF THE GLASS

The molecule behind the drink

Every pour unlocks the compounds inside it — structure, formula, mass, and where it turns up. A field guide to the chemistry, built one drink at a time.

  • 41 molecules across 6 families
  • Structure · formula · mass · sources
  • Unlocks pour by pour
Molecule detail for resveratrol — ball-and-stick structure, chemical formula, mass, an abstract, and the drinks it is detected in
FORMULATIONS // FLAVOR FINGERPRINT

206, built to spec

A catalog of formulations, each broken down to the active congeners that define its taste, with reagents, method, and scaling. All 206 are free.

  • 206 formulations, none gated
  • Active-congener fingerprint
  • Reagents · method · scaling
Espresso Martini formulation — caffeine and vanillin structures drawn above the drink name, a coupe · 20% ABV · ~141 kcal spec line, a favorite toggle, and a provenance note placing the build in late-1980s London
THE LAB // THE BENCH

The shelf, indexed

Formulations, compendium, favorites, and the home bar on one bench. A stocked shelf resolves into a list of what can be built from it; a new formulation is featured each day.

  • My bar — built from what is stocked
  • Custom builds + favorites
  • A featured formulation, daily
The LAB tab — tiles for 206 formulations, a 0 of 41 molecule compendium, an empty my-bar and an empty favorites list, above controls to craft a new formulation and open taste evolution
THE ATLAS // WHERE THE NIGHT LANDS

The night, on a grid

Sessions pin to a dark brutalist map. The picker learns the usual spots — visit counts, typical nights — and predicts the setting before a single drink is logged. Venue is always optional.

  • Usual spots, ranked by history
  • Home · party · venue, or skip
  • Locations stay on-device
Session venue picker — usual spots Trick Dog and Zeitgeist listed with visit counts and typical nights, home and party tiles, and a dark map of the Mission District listing nearby venues by distance
THE WRIST // APPLE WATCH

The count, at a glance

Count, pace, and elapsed time mirrored to the wrist, with the signature molecule of the last drink drawn above them. Logging the next pour takes one tap — no phone required.

  • Count · pace · elapsed, mirrored
  • One-tap logging from the wrist
  • Last drink's molecule, rendered

THE POSTURE

Counts, not verdicts. The HUD logs what was poured — grams, congeners, minutes — and scores no one, clears no one, and never calls a drive safe. Any amount impairs. The HUD reports. The operator decides.
