She's not sinking because of the weather. She's sinking because you haven't had any water since breakfast. Float is a hydration tracker built around one honest mechanic: your boat holds a tank that drains all day, every day. Drink, and she rises. Ignore her, and she goes under - the same way you actually feel by 3pm on a day you forgot to drink anything. No streaks to fake. No log to guilt you. Just a boat that tells you the truth about where you're at, at a glance. HOW IT WORKS - Your boat drains continuously through your waking hours - Log a drink in one tap - she rises immediately - Reminders land at real moments: morning, lunch, the afternoon slump, last call - not just "every 3 hours" from whenever you happened to wake up - Build a streak measured by days she actually stayed afloat, not just days you hit a number - Track your week, adjust your daily goal, and pick a reminder cadence that fits your day Float is free to try. A Float+ yearly subscription ($9.99/year) unlocks full access to reminders, your streak history, and every future boat added to the game. Stay hydrated today!
