Hydration, calculated for you. Most water apps tell everyone to drink 8 glasses a day. S.I.P. is different. In just 5 questions, we calculate your precise daily water goal based on your body, lifestyle, and environment — using guidelines from NASEM and EFSA, the world's leading nutrition authorities. Your goal. Your body. S.I.P. considers what actually matters: · Weight and biological sex · Activity level and weekly exercise · Climate where you live · Daily caffeine intake · Dietary habits · Pregnancy and breastfeeding The result is a goal that's genuinely yours. Log water in seconds. Set up your bottle and cup once. Then log with a single tap — directly from your home screen widget or lock screen, without ever opening the app. Beautiful, always-dark widgets. Three widget sizes designed to look stunning on any wallpaper. Your progress, streak, and quick-add buttons always within reach. Live Activity on your lock screen. Track your hydration in real time directly from the lock screen. No unlock needed. Smart reminders that adapt. S.I.P. adjusts reminders based on your progress throughout the day — gentle when you're on track, quiet when you've hit your goal. Built for privacy. Everything stays on your device. No account. No cloud. No ads. One price, forever. S.I.P. provides general hydration guidance for healthy adults. It is not a substitute for medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional if you have specific health conditions.
