Biru vs Drip

I was looking for a simple water tracker. One that let me open the app, tap a button to add my drink, and get back to my life. What I found were apps filled with ads, cluttered dashboards, and constant pressure to buy a subscription. I wanted a tool, not a chore. So I built Biru. Biru is the water tracker I always wanted. It's built on one core idea: tracking your water should be fast, simple, and completely frustration-free. WHY BIRU IS DIFFERENT • NO CLUTTER, PURE FOCUS Your day is a single rising wave. Your total sits in the middle and inverts as the water covers it. That's the whole screen — nothing else gets in your way. • GET IN, GET OUT, GET HYDRATED Log a drink with one tap. Set up to three quick-add sizes to match the bottles and glasses you actually use, in millilitres or fluid ounces. You're done in seconds. • NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. NO PAYWALLS. Every feature in Biru is free, forever. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development, but it unlocks nothing — the app is already complete without it. • ON YOUR WRIST Biru comes with a full Apple Watch app. Log a drink without your phone, pick another size, or check your week. Add a complication to any watch face — the large one shows the same rising water as the app. • ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Five widget styles in small and medium. Tap a size to log it without opening the app, or see your last seven days at a glance. Press and hold any widget to choose which sizes it offers. • A SIMPLE, SMART START Answer a few quick questions and Biru suggests a personal daily goal based on your weight, age, activity and climate. It's a starting point, not a rule — adjust it whenever you like. • OPTIONAL APPLE HEALTH SYNC Turn Health on and your drinks are saved alongside the rest of your data. Leave it off and Biru works exactly the same. • BUILT IN THE OPEN Biru has a roadmap inside the app. Suggest a feature, report a bug, vote on what matters to you, and see what's coming next. If you've been searching for a water tracker that respects your time and your focus, your search is over.

Drip is water tracking without the bloat. One button. One tap. That's the whole interaction. Open Drip, tap the drop when you drink a glass of water, and see how you're doing. No account to create. No onboarding quiz. No permissions to grant. It works the moment you open it. Set a daily goal (default: 8 glasses) and watch your progress fill up throughout the day. When you hit your goal, you'll know — a quiet green checkmark, not a confetti explosion. Keep going if you want. Made a mistake? Undo your last tap. Want a different glass size? Change it in settings. Want to see how your week went? Check your history. That's it. That's the app. What Drip doesn't do: - No push notifications. Your phone nags you enough. - No streaks. Missing a day isn't a failure. - No health integrations. It's a water counter, not a medical device. - No premium tier. No ads. No in-app purchases. Ever. Drip exists because every other water app does too much. You don't need a hydration ecosystem. You need a counter. Tap. Drink. Done.
