Meet Bubbl — the water tracking app that gives you a reason to actually drink water. Your fish lives in your phone. When you stay hydrated, it swims happily around its tank, unlocks new friends, and shows off its custom colors. When you forget to drink? It flops dramatically on the sand and judges you. TRACK YOUR WATER YOUR WAY Log water in seconds with quick-tap presets, custom amounts, or our AI bottle scanner — just point your camera at any water bottle and Bubbl identifies it and logs the exact amount automatically. A FISH THAT NEEDS YOU Your fish reacts to everything. It spins when you log water, flops when you’re dehydrated, blinks lazily when it’s bored, and swims freely around its tank. Tap it and it’ll spin for you. It’s alive. Don’t let it down. UNLOCK A WHOLE SCHOOL Build your streak and unlock 10 unique sea creatures — from your starter pufferfish, clownfish, and angelfish all the way to a shark, octopus, jellyfish, seahorse, starfish, swordfish, and manatee. Each one is fully customizable with your own color combinations. COMPETE WITH FRIENDS Add friends, track each other’s streaks on the leaderboard, and send taunts when they fall behind. Nothing motivates hydration like a little competition. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE ∙ AI-powered bottle scanner identifies your water bottle automatically ∙ Daily streak system keeps you coming back ∙ Custom hydration goals in oz or liters ∙ Push notification reminders ∙ Dark and light mode ∙ Designed for all ages with full COPPA compliance for younger users Drink water. Keep your fish happy. Build your school.

Most water apps nag you. Sip doesn't. You know the feeling: you decide to drink more water, the day takes over, and by evening the glass is still full. It's not about willpower — remembering is hard, and too many trackers turn a simple habit into a chore. Sip turns your daily water intake into a calm, mindful ritual. No clutter, no guilt. Just a clean, beautiful tool that helps you drink more water, one sip at a time. A RING THAT CELEBRATES EVERY SIP Watch a beautifully animated progress ring close as you approach your daily goal. Satisfying to look at, motivating to complete. LOG ANY DRINK IN TWO TAPS Water, tea, coffee, juice, milk — log any drink in seconds and get on with your day. Tracking should be effortless, so that's exactly what we made it. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU Gentle nudges that adapt to your schedule — active when you want them, quiet when you don't. Helpful, never annoying. YOUR HYDRATION STORY Weekly and monthly views reveal your patterns. See your progress on the calendar, understand your habits, and build a routine that lasts. STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU GOING Hit your goal, grow your streak, keep the flame alive. A little friendly motivation goes a long way.

DESIGNED FOR CALM Every screen, animation, and detail in Sip is crafted to feel quiet and precise. A small app that treats your attention with respect.
