Read full description

Water Tracker for Dummies is a fast, offline water tracker for iPhone and iPad. Tap a drink, refill a named bottle, or tell Siri, and watch today's ring fill up. NEW IN 2.0: LOG WITHOUT OPENING THE APP • Interactive Home Screen widgets show today's progress ring and log a drink with one tap. • Lock Screen widgets keep your progress in view. • A Control Center button logs a glass from anywhere (iOS 18 and later). • Siri and Shortcuts: "Log water in Water Tracker for Dummies" or "How much water have I had in Water Tracker for Dummies". Add it to the Action button for one press logging. • Optional Apple Health sync saves each drink to Health as Water. It is off by default and never reads your Health data. EVERYTHING INCLUDED One purchase, no subscription and no ads. Widgets, Siri, Health sync and detailed insights are often paid upgrades in hydration apps; here they are part of the app. LOG ANY WAY YOU LIKE Tap a glass, mug, bottle or tumbler, enter a custom amount, pick from a catalog of 45+ drinks, or refill a named bottle from Bottle Bench. Fix a missed day with past-day entry. Undo any drink. STAY ON PACE Routine Coach shows whether you're ahead or behind an even pace, and the catch-up plan suggests what to drink next. Hydration Rhythm shows how evenly you spread drinks across the day. On-device reminders nudge you during your waking hours. SEE YOUR HABITS Weekly history, goal days, streaks, best days and all-time insights. A goal calculator uses your weight, activity and climate and shows its sources. An optional hydration index weights coffee, milk and other drinks by how much fluid they provide. YOUR UNITS, YOUR DATA Show everything in ounces, milliliters or cups. Export and import your history any time. No account, no analytics, no cloud: records stay on your device unless you export them or turn on Apple Health sync. Water Tracker for Dummies provides general wellness information only. It does not diagnose, treat or monitor any condition and does not replace guidance from a qualified professional.
