Open something you've gated and Axel is there instead, waiting for you to drink. Choose the apps that usually pull your attention away, set a daily hydration goal, and let Gulp keep those distractions blocked until you make progress. Log a glass, unlock your apps, and get back to your day with a simple habit loop that is easy to understand. How Gulp works: 1. Set your daily water goal 2. Pick apps and categories with Apple's Screen Time picker 3. Log water as you drink 4.
