Hydration Bear is a hydration reminder that is harder to ignore. At the times you choose, Hydration Bear reminds you to drink and can temporarily lock selected apps. Take a sip using the front camera to confirm that you are done, then continue using your apps. Manual confirmation is available when the camera cannot be used. Key features: - Set reminder intervals or multiple custom reminder times - Choose the apps, categories, or websites to lock during a reminder - Confirm a drink using on-device recognition - Log each drink by beverage and actual volume - View daily progress, streaks, history, and seven-day statistics - Estimate a daily hydration goal from the body information you provide Camera frames are analyzed only in device memory. They are never recorded, saved, uploaded, or shared. Body information, reminder settings, and hydration records stay on the current device by default. Daily hydration goals are health estimates, not medical advice. If you have a kidney, heart, or other condition that requires limits on fluid intake, follow guidance from a qualified healthcare professional. Apple Watch app and watch-face complications, plus Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Hydration Bear Pro (optional): lock other apps when a reminder is due and set unlimited custom reminder times. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial; monthly and lifetime options are also available. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled anytime in your App Store account settings.
