A little company for every sip. Thirsty Day makes it easy to keep track of your drinks, get to know your daily rhythm and enjoy a little animal company along the way. LOG YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY • Quick-add water or log coffee, tea and other drinks • See total fluids, plain water and caffeine separately • Edit caffeine estimates to match your label, including zero • Set your own daily goal in ounces or milliliters • Use optional reminders and Home Screen widgets YOU AND YOUR COMPANION See today's drinks alongside your animal's playful scale while keeping your own goal. Daily animal amounts are rough illustrations, not drinking targets. Some companions offer water facts rather than a volume comparison; Mythic scales are fictional. Say hello to your companion and swipe through hydration and animal facts with source links. Explore the field guide and save favorites. WITH YOU THROUGH THE DAY • Quick-log water from your Apple Watch for the profile shown on your paired iPhone • Enjoy roomy iPad layouts or keep things close on either iPhone Duo display • Use portrait, landscape or a smaller iPad window Watch drinks are saved when your phone is out of reach and transferred when it reconnects. Watch logging and iPad support are included in the core app. Apple Watch needs a paired iPhone with Thirsty Day. Your iPhone and iPad keep separate local journals; they do not automatically sync drink history. COMPANY YOU CAN KEEP Start with Otter. Earn Cat, Dog, Fox and Lion through logging streaks. Household profiles, kids' manual goals, facts and basic tracking remain available without Pro. Kids never receive adult activity or heat adjustments. Optional iCloud Squad Sync shares daily progress with friends you add. THIRSTY PRO Give your day a companion you love and a water estimate that can adapt to local weather and available activity. Monthly and yearly plans include classic and wildlife companions, 18 matching stickers to copy or share, and adaptive goal guidance. See how feels-like temperature, humidity and available Apple Health activity contribute to the estimate, and choose which inputs to enable. Weather and Health permissions are optional. Both plans provide the same Pro features. In the U.S.: $1.99/month or $9.99/year. Local prices and terms are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Already own lifetime Pro? Your access stays yours; no subscription is required for those features. Eligible early-supporter rights, the four wildlife companions granted before version 3.1, earned companions and individual purchases are preserved. Restore purchases to recover verified access. Mythic Creatures remains a separate optional one-time collection; individual companion purchases remain available. QUIET AND PRIVATE No ads. Basic Apple Health water syncing and available health metrics stay in the core app with your permission. Only plain, caffeine-free water—including unflavored sparkling water—can be written to Health; other drink details and caffeine remain in your local log. Health data is never sold. Weather uses approximate location with permission. Hydration and caffeine amounts are estimates, not medical advice. Follow your clinician's guidance, especially for fluid restrictions.
