Watch your day fill up. Quenched turns your daily water goal into a pool that rises as you drink and sloshes around when you tilt your phone. Log a glass in one tap in the app, via a widget, or on your watch. See the water fill up to your goal. A GOAL CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU Quenched works out your daily target from your weight, body profile, activity level, and climate. Pregnancy and breastfeeding profiles included. Adjust your goal anytime you want. HYDRATION CONSISTENCY SCORE Find out when you should take your next sip, and how consistently hydrated you have stayed throughout the day. Other apps only tell you how much to drink, Quenched guides you on when. ONE TAP TO LOG Quick-add buttons right on the home screen. A dial for custom pours, from a sip to a full bottle. Ounces or milliliters, your call. NOT EVERY DRINK IS WATER Coffee, cold brew, matcha, kombucha, energy drinks. 30 built-in beverages, each with its own hydration percentage. Espresso counts for 85%. Water counts for 100%. Quenched does the math so your total is actually true. Have another favorite beverage that isn’t listed? Set it up as a custom beverage to log it in a single tap. CAFFEINE, TRACKED See your daily milligrams sitting next to your hydration, and spot the 4pm cold brew that's still with you at midnight. TRENDS THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 12 months, or any range you pick. Rolling averages measured against the previous period. Goal streaks. Total volume in gallons or liters. ON YOUR WRIST A full Apple Watch app. Log a drink, check your ring, see your last seven days, all without your phone. Multiple complication styles for your watch face, including a live 7-day chart.

REMINDERS THAT READ THE ROOM Nudges that know how far behind you actually are, inside the hours and days you choose. Nine custom notification sounds, from a soft drop to stirred ice. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY 366 unique water facts — one for every day of the year, leap years included. Plus twelve detailed hydration guides. —————————— QUENCH YOUR THIRST WITH PRO Trends and charts, all 30 beverages, custom drinks, caffeine tracking, and custom quick-add sizes all for a small yearly price or a one-time lifetime unlock.
