Turn your morning shower into a game you actually want to win. The Shower Challenge helps you take shorter showers without it ever feeling like a chore. Pick a challenge, step in, and race the clock — then watch your streak grow and your water use shrink, one morning at a time. HOW IT WORKS Choose how you want to play today, start the timer when the water goes on, and stop it when you're done. That's it. Every shower becomes a small, satisfying win. CHALLENGE MODES Time It — Set a time goal and beat it. Perfect for building the habit at your own pace. One Song — Play a track and finish before it ends. Your shower, your soundtrack, your deadline. Navy Style — Ultra-quick, hard mode. Water on, rinse, water off — for when you want to go pro. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Track every shower with clean, friendly charts. Watch your day-streak climb, see how your times trend over the weeks, unlock milestones, and get a running tally of how much faster you've become since week one. Small changes add up fast — and the app makes them impossible to miss. WHY SHORTER SHOWERS? The average shower sends gallons of clean water down the drain. Trimming even a couple of minutes a day saves water, saves energy, and lowers your bill — and it feels great. The Shower Challenge makes that good habit playful instead of preachy. DESIGNED TO DELIGHT Beautiful, distraction-free design that looks great in light and dark mode Smooth, encouraging animations — never nagging Accessible with Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support Private by design: your shower data stays on your device Ready to save water, together? Take your first challenge tomorrow morning.
