DRINK — ONE TAP Tap once, cup logged. No picker, no guesswork. Need precision? Type any amount. Set your own daily goal and cup size, and reminders stop automatically once you hit the goal. SIT LESS, MOVE MORE Pick your work hours and interval; RiseTime nudges you to stand up. With auto-detection on, motion and step data tell whether you actually moved — stand-ups are logged automatically and confirmed with a gentle notification. No manual check-in. And it keeps working after you close the app: background detection keeps your data current, so what you see when you open the app is already correct. MEDS, NEVER MISSED Add each medication with name, dosage and times. Get reminded, tap "Taken", done. Dose history sits alongside your water and stand-up log in one timeline. QUIET WHEN IT SHOULD BE No reminders outside work hours. Lunch break is silenced automatically. Optional calendar access keeps you undisturbed during meetings. Your sleep window is a hard gate — everything steps aside. SEE YOUR PATTERN 7 / 14 / 30-day water trends, stand-up counts, goal rate and streaks. An hourly breakdown shows whether you hydrate in the morning or scramble in the afternoon. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Today's progress, sitting time and your next reminder — always in sync with the app. A REAL iPad APP Not a stretched phone layout: a sidebar-plus-detail two-column design, with Split View and all four orientations. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything is stored on your device. No upload, no sharing, no analytics, no ads, no account, no sign-in. Health and motion sensors are optional — every reminder works without them. Available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. — Let RiseTime handle the small things, so you can keep your attention on what matters.
