Who is behind Modraly?
Quent La Brute is an indie iOS developer in London. He builds Modraly alone. Follow the work on X (@QuentLaBrute), or write to support@modraly.com.
He also compiles and reviews the guides on this site. The figures come from official public sources (the NHS, Alcool Info Service, the NIAAA), and each guide shows the date it was last reviewed.
Why it exists
Most alcohol apps are sobriety programmes with a log attached. Modraly is the other way around: a diary that counts units, spend and calories, shows the weekly guideline for your country, and then stays quiet.
What it will not do
- Estimate blood alcohol. A wrong number is worse than no number.
- Coach, run a programme, or keep a sober streak.
- Ask for an account or send drinks to a Modraly server.
- Give medical advice.
If the goal is to drink less, start with moderate drinking vs quitting. If the goal is a private log, see an alcohol tracker with no account. The app comparison is honest about the cases where Modraly is the wrong choice.
Editorial standards & public health sources
Modraly provides mathematical logging and regulatory reference data; it is not a medical device and never provides clinical or medical advice. Every calculation and guideline on this site is compiled directly from public health agencies:
- United Kingdom: Department of Health and Social Care & UK Chief Medical Officers’ Low Risk Drinking Guidelines (14 units/week).
- France: Santé Publique France and Institut National du Cancer (10 verres standard/semaine, max 2 verres/jour).
- United States: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) & CDC Dietary Guidelines for Americans (14 g of pure alcohol per standard drink).
- Australia: National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australian Alcohol Guidelines (10 standard drinks/week).
If you are experiencing dependency or require medical assistance, consult a qualified medical professional or reach out to official support services such as the NHS (UK), Alcool Info Service (France), or SAMHSA (US).
Privacy
Drink logs stay on the iPhone. There is no Modraly account and no Modraly server. The privacy policy is the full version.
