AquaPing helps you build a real hydration habit. Log your water with one tap, track your progress through the day with a visual progress ring, and let Dropo, your animated water droplet mascot, keep you motivated along the way. Dropo reacts to how you're doing: he's happy when you stay hydrated, gets thirsty when you fall behind, and celebrates with you when you reach your daily goal. He makes the whole experience feel personal and engaging. WHY TRACK YOUR WATER? Proper hydration improves energy, skin health, focus and overall wellbeing. Most people don't drink enough without a reminder. AquaPing gives you the tools to change that, with a system that fits naturally into your day. HOW IT WORKS Choose your glass size and log water with a single tap. The progress ring updates instantly and shows you where you are compared to where you should be at this time of day. Clean, intuitive, no extra steps. SMART REMINDERS Three notification modes to match your lifestyle: Normal for regular reminders, Gentle for fewer nudges, and Minimal for just a morning and afternoon check-in. Set your wake and sleep hours so you're only notified when it makes sense. The system also adapts: if you're drinking on schedule, reminders space out. If you're behind, they come a bit more often. GAMIFICATION & LEVELS Every day you hit your water goal, you earn a trophy. Build streaks across 3, 7, 14 and 30 days and progress through 5 ranks: Drop, Stream, River, Lake and Ocean. A rewarding system designed to keep you consistent over time. 65+ EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES Explore articles on hydration across 11 categories including brain health, skin care, exercise performance, metabolism, sleep and common myths. New articles unlock as you drink, so staying hydrated also means learning something new. WEEKLY STATISTICS & HISTORY Detailed weekly bar charts show your intake patterns. Track daily averages, your best day, goals reached and current streak. Browse up to 90 days of history and export your data as a shareable report. PERSONALIZED GOALS AquaPing calculates your recommended daily intake based on weight, height, gender, activity level and climate. You can adjust your goal at any time, switch between metric (ml) and imperial (fl oz), and choose 12h or 24h time format. 90+ HYDRATION TIPS Daily facts about hydration organized by topic: body, skin, brain, exercise, sleep and more. A quick read every day to keep you informed and motivated.
