Drink more water, without being nagged by ads. BEwater is a hydration tracker with three things most water apps don't have: it is genuinely ad-free, it lives on your Apple Watch, and your friends can nudge you when you forget. A buddy that reacts to you Your water level fills a fishbowl where a little companion swims. Cats, dogs, otters, seals, dolphins, turtles, anglerfish, jellyfish, penguins and more to collect. Customize your cat or dog: breed, fur colour, pattern and accessories. Apple Watch, done properly A real Watch app, free: log a glass in one tap, see your progress in a complication, and everything syncs back to your iPhone. Add a Pro theme and the living fishbowl with your mascot comes to your wrist too. Widgets & Siri Add water from the home screen widget without opening the app. Or just ask Siri. Reminders that respect you Gentle, schedulable reminders. Tap "I drank it" straight from the notification — the bar fills without opening the app. Not now? Snooze it. Friends who keep you honest Add friends with one link. See their progress, send a nudge or a clap, and build a partner streak together. Nudging is free, unlimited, forever. Streaks Build a daily streak and keep it alive. Missed a day? Rescue it. Apple Health Your water counts in the Health app too. Turn on the workout extra and BEwater reads today's workouts to suggest extra water after training — on your phone only, never uploaded. Privacy first By default everything stays on your device.
