What our Pioneers have been saying about Clarity
We've had people tell us Clarity changed how they train, how they work, and how they sleep.
Most interestingly, people have told us that they are in fact drinking more caffeine, safe in the fact that they understand how the dose is being processed in their body and how it could be impacting their sleep if not timed correctly.
This isn't we invented anything. Because we put the science somewhere people actually use it - on their phone, in their routine, before the decision gets made.
That's what we rebuilt. That's what we're bringing back.
I'm working on Clarity every single day. New features, more refinement, a better product, for you.

What data are you using to model its effects?
This is a fresh angle ๐ I usually see apps trying to cut caffeine, not optimize it. I like the idea, but i wonder if it might unintentionally encourage overuse for some people
@new_user___090202674ab6e030a7a9c52ย the timing aspect makes a lot of sense to me. I have noticed that even one late coffee can mess up my sleep, so having guidance right before the decision feels useful
@new_user___090202674ab6e030a7a9c52ย @shania_jenningsย not fully convinced yet. I feel like people already know caffeine affects sleep, but they still ignore it. What makes this different in actually changing behavior?
Clarity: Caffeine and Focus
@new_user___090202674ab6e030a7a9c52ย @shania_jenningsย @mathew_changย Hi guys,
Thank you all for taking the time to comment!
I replied to a comment on a thread that covers a lot of this topic so I've pasted it below.
If any of you guys want to push back, I'm all ears!
Tracking caffeine is a new concept, one that no one has really considered before. But let's think about some scenarios.
Our performance profile allows users to choose some goals, two of the most prominent being 'mental performance' and 'physical performance'.
How many 'knowledge workers' - writers, programmers, founders - use caffeine blindly and have never considered that the one thing their whole schedule revolves around is on some days being beneficial and on others very detrimental. The research into caffeine doses for mental performance is much lower than most people realise.
That is why daily tracking matters. Not because caffeine is bad, but because without tracking intake, timing, and the downstream effect on sleep and performance, most people are still just guessing. Weโre also building a verified product list so users can log known caffeine amounts more accurately over time.
The athletes on the other hand, will almost all use caffeine to perform. For the athletes who are more athletics based, the dosing should be much lower than most people think and at regular intervals dependent on the event, and the dosing of caffeine for strength training is actually much higher than most people think ( considerably in fact ).
The common theme here is whether you know it or not, everyone uses caffeine to perform, but nobody has any idea as to what dose or timing strategy works best for them. Something that can only be realised through daily tracking.
Of course for athletes, one of the most crucial days in any training plan is the rest day. That's why we specifically ask those optimising for physical performance for their rest days too, because caffeine strategy still matters when recovery is the priority.
Clarity is truly a zero to one and as you can tell, I love talking all things Clarity, caffeine and performance.
@new_user___090202674ab6e030a7a9c52ย drinking more caffeine with better control is an interesting outcome. I would have expected the opposite, so that part caught my attention.
What's the biggest behavior change you've seen?
Are you planning to expand beyond caffeine?
