Know exactly how many sips you have left today: not millilitres, not ounces. Just sips. Sipflow turns your daily water goal into a number of sips, so hydration is concrete and easy to finish. Instead of estimating volume, you always know: how many sips to go. No data collected. Ever. Perfect for people who: · Forget how much they've drunk, even when they drink regularly · Want a calm tool, not a health dashboard · Work long hours or stay focused for extended periods · Use Apple Watch as a daily sidekick Key features: · Sip-based tracking: your goal shows as sips remaining — clear, actionable, done · Custom coach: upload your own photo, and Sipflow uses it as your reminder avatar · Personality-driven reminders: choose your coach style — sarcastic, supportive, mom energy, or goal-focused · Home screen widgets: bubble map, monthly heat map, and coach reminder widgets for at-a-glance progress · Apple Watch assist: optional wrist gestures log intake moments for you to confirm · Batch confirmation: review and confirm logged moments together on Watch · Styled notifications: different tones so reminders actually get noticed · Minimal design: fast interactions, low cognitive load, no guilt Sipflow uses an approximate model (1 sip ≈ 20 or 25 ml) based on general adult drinking behaviour. This is for usability only, not a medical measure. If you want a calm, honest way to know when you've had enough, Sipflow is built for you.
