SipPal is a simple and friendly water tracker and reminder app featuring a lovable penguin companion. It makes tracking every drink quick, enjoyable, and easier to maintain as part of your daily routine. A Daily Hydration Goal Made for You SipPal estimates a general daily hydration goal based on the age, gender, weight, activity level, perspiration level, and environment information you provide. You can adjust your goal at any time and hydrate at a pace that works for you. Quick and Easy Water Tracking Tap the button on the Home screen to record a drink, and customize the amount to match your usual cup or bottle size. Easily view today’s water intake, remaining goal, progress, and individual drink entries. You can also delete any entry whenever needed. Reminders at the Right Time Choose when reminders begin and end, and set your preferred reminder interval. SipPal only sends notifications during the waking hours you select and provides gentle reminders based on your drinking habits, activity level, and current progress. See Your Weekly Progress Review your daily water intake, goal completion, average amount per drink, and weekly trends. Each day’s hydration goal is saved separately, so changing your goal later will not alter your past results. Stay Motivated with Your Penguin Companion Your penguin companion responds to your hydration progress with different expressions and animations. As you continue tracking, you can unlock achievements for total goals completed, consecutive goal days, total water intake, anniversaries, and more. Private and Stored on Your Device No account or sign-in is required. Your personal profile, hydration goals, reminder settings, water intake records, and achievement progress are stored locally on your device. The current version does not provide accounts or cloud syncing. The hydration goals provided by SipPal are general wellness estimates and are not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional has advised you to limit your fluid intake, always follow their guidance.
