About

Sipling

Features

Sipling turns drinking water into something you can see. Every glass waters a sapling. Hit your daily goal and it becomes a tree in your own forest. Miss a day? Nothing dies. Your sapling simply waits for you. A FOREST THAT NEVER WITHERS Most habit apps punish you. Sipling doesn't. There is no guilt, no dying plant, no broken heart icon. A day you missed is just a young sapling, still standing. A GOAL THAT FITS YOU Your daily target is calculated from your weight, sex, age and activity level, based on the European Food Safety Authority's reference values for water from drinks. You can always adjust it yourself. NOT EVERYTHING COUNTS THE SAME Tea, coffee, milk, juice and soda are counted with their own hydration factors — 250 ml of coffee is not 250 ml of water. Alcohol counts against you, honestly. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY ARRIVE Sipling reminds you between your waking hours, at the interval you choose, and goes quiet once you reach your goal. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Sipling has no server and no account. It goes online for only two things: ads, and anonymous crash and usage measurement — you can turn the measurement off in Settings. Everything you enter lives on your device and nowhere else. You can erase all of it in one tap. EIGHT TREE SPECIES, TEN ACHIEVEMENTS Oak, pine, sakura, maple, acacia, olive and more. Unlock them by keeping streaks and growing trees — never by paying for the basics. SIPLING PRO Pro removes ads and unlocks seasonal forest themes and a few cosmetic trees. Tracking, goals, statistics, reminders and your forest are free, forever. We will never put a paywall in front of the things that matter. — No interstitial ads between screens. — No ads during celebrations. — No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Drink water. Grow a forest. Be kind to yourself.

The clearest difference is ads: WaterUnicorns at none against Sipling's shown. WaterUnicorns also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 11 days). Sipling's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
