WaterDone is the lightest way to keep sipping before you get thirsty. Had a sip? Tap once. That's the whole app. No amounts to type. No daily target. The goal is a rhythm: another sip within the interval you choose. A little drop dries out as time passes and fills up when you drink, and a gentle word tells you how you're doing — "Hydrated", "Time for a sip". • One tap from your Lock Screen or Home Screen widget, without opening the app • See when your next sip is due, right on the home screen • A gentle nudge before you dry out. You pick the interval (2–4 hours) and the hours it can reach you. Works fine with notifications off, too • Tapped by mistake? Undo in one tap • Just ate? Tap “I just ate” and your next nudge moves later (it isn’t counted as a sip) • Optionally get one gentle cue after a workout • Run “After my bath” in Shortcuts to log one sip without opening the app • A streak and a simple calendar of every sip • Made for iPhone Duo's larger display, too • No account. Water records and settings are stored on your device. If you turn on Hot Days, your approximate location is sent to a weather service WaterDone Pro (auto-renewable subscription) • Log “I had a sip” from Apple Watch, with today’s count and next suggested time on complications • On hot days, optionally make your usual reminders arrive a little earlier using today’s forecast Logging, rhythm reminders, “I just ate”, widgets, and writing to Apple Health remain free. If Pro expires, your existing records are not deleted or hidden. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription. A free trial appears only when the App Store reports that you are eligible. The subscription renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings.

WaterDone is not medical advice and does not calculate how much water you need.

Stop losing hours to the scroll. DoomShield locks the apps that hijack your attention—Instagram, TikTok, X, and more—until you earn them back with real push-ups. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that drain you. 2. Open one and DoomShield's shield blocks it. 3. Do your push-ups—the AI camera counts every rep. 4. Earn a timed unlock. When it's up, the shield comes back. It's a simple trade: move your body, get your time. No willpower required—just a rule you can't swipe away. REAL, UN-BYPASSABLE BLOCKING DoomShield uses Apple's Screen Time technology to block apps at the system level. This isn't a timer you can dismiss—it's a real shield. EARN IT WITH EFFORT Turn doomscrolling into reps. Every unlock costs a few push-ups, so the more you reach for your phone, the stronger you get. SQUAD: STREAKS WITH FRIENDS Add friends, build daily streaks, and keep each other honest. Nudge your squad when they slack—accountability is the cheat code. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your push-ups, unlocks, and streaks over time. Watch wasted hours turn into reps. DOOMSHIELD PRO Upgrade for unlimited blocked apps, unlimited daily unlocks, custom rep and session targets, and full stats. Beat the doomscroll. Build the habit. Get your time back—one rep at a time.
