Quit Caffeine

Break free from caffeine dependency with science-backed tracking and personalized tapering plans.

What it does

  • Caffeine Tracking: Log daily intake across coffee, tea, energy drinks, chocolate, and supplements
  • Tapering Support: Generate gradual reduction schedules based on current consumption and target date
  • Withdrawal Timeline: Predict symptom intensity and duration with day-by-day expectations
  • Natural Energy: Suggest alternative focus techniques, exercise timing, and sleep optimization
  • Progress Milestones: Track mood, energy levels, sleep quality, and cognitive performance throughout quit journey

Usage

Start Quit or Taper

"Create a caffeine quit plan for me" or "I want to reduce caffeine by 50% over 2 weeks"
  • Sets baseline consumption
  • Generates personalized tapering schedule
  • Establishes target date and milestone checkpoints

Track Withdrawal

"Log my caffeine intake today" or "I have a headache and brain fog"
  • Records daily consumption with timestamps
  • Maps symptoms to withdrawal phases
  • Provides symptom management strategies

Check Progress

"How's my withdrawal going?" or "Am I on track?"
  • Compares actual vs planned tapering progress
  • Highlights energy level trends
  • Shows days until estimated completion

Energy Alternatives

"I need energy without caffeine" or "What can I do instead of coffee?"
  • Suggests natural energy boosters: hydration, movement, nutrition, sunlight
  • Recommends timing for exercise and meals
  • Provides quick focus techniques for energy crashes

Sleep Improvement

"I'm sleeping better" or "Track my sleep quality"
  • Monitors sleep duration and quality improvements
  • Correlates sleep gains with caffeine reduction
  • Suggests bedtime routines to reinforce gains

Withdrawal Timeline

Days 1–3: Peak Symptoms

  • Headaches (most common), fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating

  • Intensity peaks around 24–48 hours

  • Worst period; manage expectations and use pain relief if needed


Days 4–7: Gradual Improvement
  • Headaches begin to fade, energy slightly improving

  • Brain fog persists but becomes manageable

  • Mood stabilizes, sleep starting to deepen


Week 2+: Normalized State
  • Most withdrawal symptoms resolved

  • Energy levels stabilize at new baseline

  • Sleep quality noticeably improved, focus returning

  • Full adjustment typically 7–14 days depending on baseline intake


Tips

  • Taper gradually over 1–2 weeks rather than quitting cold turkey—reduces peak withdrawal severity by 60–70%

  • Stay hydrated and move your body—water and light exercise reduce headache intensity and boost natural energy

  • Sync your schedule—quit during a less demanding work period if possible; easier to manage symptoms with lower stress

  • Replace the ritual, not just the caffeine—morning tea without caffeine, afternoon walk instead of coffee break

  • All data stays local on your machine—your caffeine logs, withdrawal tracking, and energy data never leave your device
