Simple, yet effective
Response from developer
Thanks for the review and for supporting the app. Apple Health sync is one-way by design right now — Hydrate or Diedrate writes its entries to Health but doesn’t read from other sources. That keeps the record it maintains unambiguous; reading external entries introduces duplicate and day-boundary conflicts that make the log less reliable. Import from Health is on the list as a possible future addition. Appreciate you testing it thoroughly enough to find the edge.
Abide the Skull
But, this app? No, no. The skull is a reminder of the inevitable, and (mildly) forces you into taking your wellbeing into consideration. The UI is simple and intuitive, and the design overall is awesome. It’s worth the investment—in support of the developer, and also your health.

This is the review I’ll be thinking about for a while. You articulated the whole thesis better than my App Store description does — cute mascots are pushovers, and a pushover doesn’t change behavior. Thank you for the support and for putting it that well.
Very thoughtful
Who knew a reminder to drink water could feel this atmospheric? The dark, mysterious design and clever notifications make staying hydrated surprisingly enjoyable. A beautifully crafted app with a lot of character.
Response from developer
“Atmospheric” is high praise for a water tracker. Thank you — the visual direction and the notification copy were the two things I obsessed over most, so it’s good to hear they’re both landing.
Tied the rest? Now try the best!
Hydrate or Died rate is just what this dude ordered.

No judgment on the “a few” — that’s the exact research that led me to build this one. Sanitized or fluffy were the only two options and neither worked for me either. Thanks for the review.
Cool design for the app logo
Response from developer
Thank you — the icon went through a lot of iterations before it landed. Glad the app is helping you stay on top of your water intake.
