The app helps you visualize your current caffeine levels and even has a "What-If" feature to check the impact of that next cup before you drink it. It's all about providing clarity to make mindful choices throughout your day. #iOSDev #SwiftUI

So, I decided to build a solution. As a developer, I created my own personal caffeine guide: the @MindfulCofApp.

It’s an iOS app designed to remove the guesswork, helping you enjoy your coffee mindfully without sacrificing your well-being.

For years, I played the same guessing game: “Did I have one coffee too many?” I love the ritual and the focus that coffee provides, but I hated the sleepless nights and jittery afternoons that followed. I wanted clarity, not a compromise. #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

It's a strategic game of picking the right tool for the job to stay within your limits.

Knowing when to use a high-powered model like GPT-4.5 vs. a daily driver like o4-mini is key. Plus, there's a Pro plan with even higher caps for power users.

🧠 Thinking Models 🧠 (For research & analysis)

These are your daily workhorses, but some specialized tools have tight caps:
• Deep Research Tool: 10 queries/month
• o3 pro: 20 messages/month (Team/Enterprise only)
• o3: 100 messages/week
• o4-mini: 300 messages/day

✨ Creative Models ✨ (For complex generation)

Limits range from the highly restricted to the unlimited:
• GPT-4.5: 50 messages/week
• GPT-4: 40 messages/3 hours
• GPT-4o & 4.1: 80 messages/3 hours
• GPT-4.1 mini: Unlimited!
