Your body isn't a bucket — it’s a river. Standard water trackers treat hydration like a static container you fill up until you hit a random number. Sip changes the game by treating your hydration like a metabolic battery that naturally drains throughout the day. Using our proprietary decay algorithm, Sip visualizes your body’s real-time fluid status, giving you an accurate, science-backed view of when you actually need to drink. Why choose Sip?

Water is a calm, beautifully designed water tracker built around a real fluid surface that tilts as you move your phone and ripples every time you log a drink. No clutter and no noise, just a living glass of water that fills up as you hit your daily goal. FEATURES - One tap logging: quick-add buttons plus a Custom sheet for exact amounts, with your own presets - Smart reminders: gentle notifications spread through the day, tuned to how much water you still need - Full water log: every entry grouped by day, swipe to delete, tap a day to see the details - Monthly calendar: progress rings show how consistent your hydration habit really is - Metric and imperial units: switch between milliliters and US fluid ounces anytime - Personal profile: age, weight and height help put your daily goal in context - Clean white journal: today's log and the monthly calendar live in a crisp white sheet that glides up from the bottom - Native iOS design: Liquid Glass buttons, haptic feedback on every tap, smooth spring animations throughout WHY WATER Most hydration trackers are noisy: streak counters, badges, social feeds. Water strips all that away and keeps the one thing that matters, how close you are to your goal right now, shown as an actual body of water that moves, catches light and responds to your phone's tilt. It is a water tracker and drink reminder built to feel calm to look at, every single day. Set your daily water intake goal in milliliters or ounces, pick a reminder schedule, and let Water do the rest. Your data stays on your device.
