Barnaburn is the dog that closes your apps at bedtime. Pick your distracting apps and sign tonight's bedtime contract. At curfew, Barnaburn, a small and judgmental bedtime accountant, puts them behind a lock: CLOSED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF SLEEP. You get one emergency appeal per night. He files everything. In the morning, Apple Health tells him how you actually slept, and you get the Morning Report: your verdict, the evidence, XP earned, and a shareable Dream Receipt. Hit your sleep goal and earn levels, streaks, and awards. Miss it and receive a citation: a playful, fully recoverable offense you can clear with one good night. FEATURES - Shutdown Orders: your chosen apps close at bedtime and reopen at your wake goal - One emergency appeal per night, logged in tomorrow's report - Bedtime Contracts: sign tonight's terms (Reasonable, Ambitious, or Emergency) - Morning Report: last night's verdict, evidence, XP earned, and new awards - Dream Receipts: a shareable receipt for every night's sleep - Citations: rough nights get a playful writeup; one good night clears it with bonus XP - Case File: your sleep record, from commendations to repeat offenses - XP and levels: from Pillow Intern to Sleep Bureau Legend - Awards: a trophy case of 21 sleep achievements - Graphs: duration, schedule drift, and pattern insights over 7/30/90 days - Reminders: optional wind-down and morning check-in notifications that follow your goal - Barnaburn himself: an animated dog companion who gets visibly exhausted when you don't sleep - Works with Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, and any device that writes sleep to Apple Health - 100% on-device, no accounts, no ads, and your data never leaves your phone App blocking is optional and entirely under your control. Barnaburn is a habit and motivation app, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or measure any health condition.

See how much is left to reach your daily water goal. Sipli makes logging a drink quick and your progress easy to read. A BOTTLE THAT FOLLOWS YOUR DAY The Home bottle starts full and drains as you log drinks. Its percentage shows how much of your daily goal is left. Tilt your phone and the water moves with it, then settles. With Reduce Motion enabled, the level updates without the motion effects. A gentle welcome when you return and a little encouragement after logging help you keep going. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open your iPhone Duo and Sipli fills the inner display, with Home, Insights, and Diary split around the fold. Close it and your bottle stays on the cover screen. Sipli works in every orientation, with two-column layouts in landscape. QUICK TO LOG, EASY TO CORRECT • Add water with quick amounts or choose your own serving size. • Set a daily goal and use reminders that fit your waking hours. • Keep a drink diary, add a missed entry, or edit and delete a previous log. • Check daily progress, streaks, a monthly heatmap, and 7- and 30-day trends. • Log water from Apple Watch and keep progress nearby with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. SMALL REASONS TO KEEP GOING Build a streak, take on weekly quests, and discover badges in the Trophy Room. Share a daily summary, a week of progress, or a beautifully illustrated card for a badge you've earned. Ask Siri to log a drink by name and amount, like “Log 350 ml of latte in Sipli”, and hear how much is left without opening the app. FREE TO START Basic water logging, custom daily goals, diary history, and standard reminders are available without a subscription.
