Log water from Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, or Apple Watchβ€”often without opening the app. See today's total, daily goal, remaining amount, and progress on iPhone, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island, and let the cat's expressions gently nudge you when you fall behind. Key features - One-tap quick add for common amounts and your favorite cups - Cup Vault to save reusable drinks, search/filter presets, and pin up to 5 favorites for Home Quick Add - Custom amounts and undo for recent accidental entries - History tab with monthly calendar and selected-day progress - 7-day average, goal-hit days, and streak flow - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for progress and quick logging - Live Activities and Dynamic Island keep hydration visible - Apple Watch app and complications for wrist-side logging - Optional reminder notifications and Apple Health sync AquaTick works without an account. Apple Health and reminders are optional, and AquaTick only uses the data you allow.
