AlcoLog v1.2.0 is the biggest update since launch. It fixes the most common reason a night goes untracked, adds two faster ways to log a round, and simplifies the app down to one paid tier.
There is a second piece of news in this release that is arguably bigger, and it is at the bottom: Android has caught up, and it now has a watch app of its own.
# Add a past session
The honest truth about any tracker is that you sometimes forget. Now you can add a night after the fact, and it is not a second-class entry: a past session gets the same timeline, the same totals, and the same AlcoScore treatment as one logged live. Your history stays accurate even when your memory does not.
# Scan the receipt
Point the camera at a bar or restaurant receipt and AlcoLog reads the drinks off it and adds the round in one go. Everything it finds appears in a review list first, with a tick beside each item, so you can untick anything it misread before it saves. Nothing is added until you confirm.
# 1,169 drinks and brands
The catalog has grown from 273 to 1,169 named drinks, with ABV and calories already filled in. Glass sizes now follow the region you are actually in, so a pint means the right thing whether you are in London, New York, or Sydney.
# See where the night went
Every drink you log can be tagged with the place you logged it, and the new session map lays your night out geographically. It turns out that where you drink is often a better predictor of how much you drink than when.
# GLP-1 medications
Alongside naltrexone, gabapentin, acamprosate and the rest, you can now log GLP-1 agonists such as semaglutide. Doses, redose timers, and location reminders all work the same way.
# One Premium tier
AlcoLog used to have two paid tiers, Pro and Premium. That was one too many. There is now a single Premium tier that includes everything: barcode and receipt scanning, location features, the session map, the full alert suite, unlimited PDF export, and the watch app. Anyone who bought Pro keeps everything and moves to Premium automatically at no extra cost.
# Fixes and polish
A long list of smaller work, including faster photo recognition, a clearer AlcoScore insight card, tap and hold to delete a session, and a fix for sessions that could show the wrong duration after a drink was back-dated into them.
# Android has caught up, and it has a watch app
When AlcoLog arrived on Android, we said plainly that some things were not there yet. That is no longer true, and the gap closed faster than we expected.
Android is now at v1.2.1, and it has a Wear OS watch app. If you carry a Samsung Galaxy Watch or a Pixel Watch, you can start and end sessions from your wrist, log a drink from your favorites, see your AlcoScore, and check where you stand against your limits, with the phone and the watch kept in sync both ways.
Getting there meant working through a twelve point list comparing the two watch apps feature by feature, so that the Wear OS app is not a cut down companion but the same experience: drink subtype colors and icons carried across the bridge properly, the same size presets for your region, filter chips on the size picker, session history with the same breakdown, and the same location handling.
The rest of the Android app kept pace too. It has home screen widgets, the Premium tier, Health Connect sync, location tagging, barcode and photo recognition, and full German support, alongside the retention reminders that help you pick tracking back up if a session slips.
So the short version: the two apps now do the same things, on the phone and on the wrist.
# One difference between the platforms
BAC estimation is available on Android only. Everything else in AlcoLog works the same way on both.
If you use it, please treat it the way it is meant: it is an estimate for personal awareness, computed on your device, and it cannot tell you whether you are safe or legal to drive. Estimate only. Don’t drive.
As ever: fully available in German, and everything stays private and on-device with no account.
Track smarter. Drink better.
