Nomicho

Log a drink and watch your estimated state unfold in real time, on the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, and Home Screen widgets, without opening the app. Nomicho is a record-predict-reflect app for adults 20 and over: what you drank alongside how you felt, designed from the ground up for drinkers in Japan, not localized from somewhere else.

Most drinking apps in Japan assume you want to cut down or quit. Nomicho is the opposite: it never nudges you to drink less and never scolds. A warm place to understand your own drinking, out of curiosity, at your own pace.

Four things at its heart. The core features are free.

■ Record Log what you actually order at an izakaya or bar in one tap. Around 45 Japanese staples (draft beer, highball, lemon sour, sake, shochu and more) are built in, sorted by category and popularity, sizes and all.

• Create and save your own drinks. Make it once, one tap after that.
• Nomicho learns your usuals and floats them to the top.
• Edit any logged drink later: volume, ABV, time, how long it took.
• Capture how you felt with hand-drawn illustrations and your own photos, in a private diary.
• Tag where you're drinking, by hand or automatically with location.
• Send your drinks to Apple Health. Off by default. For cans and bottles, scan the barcode (JAN). Products not in the catalog are looked up automatically, so you're never limited to a fixed list.

■ Predict See your estimated blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and how your state shifts in real time as you drink. The model accounts for meal timing, when you finish each drink, and individual factors: sex, weight, height, how easily you flush, how often you drink. Connect Apple Health to fill your profile in a tap. Built on established alcohol pharmacokinetics, erring toward caution.

• Log meals and snacks, and the curve adjusts to show how food lowers your peak.
• Set a ceiling for the session and see whether one more average drink stays inside it.
• As your state climbs, Nomicho asks how you feel, so you can see where prediction and reality diverge.
• A hangover forecast (1-5), sharpened by sleep and rest from Apple Health. Tell it how the day went and it learns.
• A cautious read of how long your reading is likely to stay above zero. A quiet heads-up as you near a threshold you set. Nomicho is not a measuring device: the figures are estimates only, and must never be used to decide whether it's "safe to drive."

■ Reflect Browse past sessions on a calendar and open any day's recap. An AI card looks back on the session, your recap maps the places you visited, and thirteen insight cards surface your own patterns.

• A heatmap of when you drink, night-by-night curves, the rhythm of your hours.
• How each drink relates to how you feel, and your pure alcohol totals.
• Your favorites, how seasons shift your glass, where you tend to go.
• Calories and sugar over time, if you want them.
• Build your own cards (Plus): pick what to measure, how to split it, how to draw it. Monthly stats, too. Every card reflects the shape of things; it never grades you or tells you what to do next.

■ Collect Every drink you log unlocks an illustrated card, building a picture book of what you have actually drunk. Browse by category or region, and hunt rarer drinks in the expanded catalogue.

■ Privacy and your data Nomicho is local-first. Every feature and sync is optional, stored in Tokyo. Export your own data as JSON anytime. No ads, no behavioral tracking. Fully bilingual, with a soft, animation-rich design a world away from clinical health apps.

■ Nomicho Plus The core features are free. Nomicho Plus (monthly or annual; annual includes a 7-day free trial) opens up more:

• Your full calendar history.
• All thirteen insight cards, plus custom cards of your own.
• Unlimited AI reflections.
• Sync across multiple devices.

For users 20 and over. Nomicho is a tool for recording and reflection, not a medical product. Do not use it for medical or legal decisions.
