Hydration Break Water Reminder

Read full description

Hydration Break is a weather-smart hydration reminder and water reminder app. Most reminder apps give everyone the same fixed goal โ€” Hydration Break watches the weather for you: on hot, humid days your water goal rises automatically, because science says it should. PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING HYDRATION During pregnancy and while breastfeeding, your body needs noticeably more water โ€” and it's worth tracking closely, because that need isn't a fixed number. Hydration Break recalculates your personal goal every day from the feels-like temperature (heat index), humidity and UV at your location, so on hotter days your target rises automatically. Set pregnancy or breastfeeding in your profile and get a daily amount built for you and your baby, with gentle reminders that keep you on pace all day. WEATHER-SMART DAILY GOAL Your hydration goal adapts to the feels-like temperature (heat index), humidity and UV at your exact location, hour by hour โ€” included in every plan, not a paid add-on. SMART WATER REMINDERS Gentle, reliable drink reminders that speed up on hot days and pause while you sleep. Set your own reminder interval and active hours. Log water in one tap straight from the notification โ€” no need to open the app. HYDRATION BREAKS FOR SPORT โ€” LIKE THE WORLD CUP Start a session (football, American football, basketball, tennis, running, golf and more) and get a hydration break every 15 minutes โ€” with a live countdown in your notifications and a per-break amount sized to your sport, the heat and your body weight. A no-time-limit mode is included for open-ended workouts. APPLE WATCH APP INCLUDED Log water from your wrist with a one-tap confirmation, start sport sessions with 15-minute hydration breaks on the watch, see live progress on your watch face, and add water right from the Smart Stack โ€” everything stays in sync with your iPhone. SCIENCE-BASED, PERSONAL Your goal is built from your weight, age and gender, adjusted for pregnancy, breastfeeding and kidney conditions โ€” with references you can read in the app (EFSA, NOAA, ACSM, AUA/EAU). Not a one-size-fits-all "8 glasses". EFFORTLESS LOGGING One-tap bottle chips you name and color yourself, quick-add buttons, a home screen widget with live progress, and drink types that count honestly (coffee counts 80%, tea 90%). STAY ON TRACK Morning briefing with today's weather-adjusted goal, smart pace reminders that speed up on hot days, a proactive heat alert before the hottest hours, a goal celebration and a gentle last call before bed. Streaks keep you motivated. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your health data never leaves your device. No ads, no data sales. Units: ml or fl oz, kg or lb, ยฐC or ยฐF โ€” smart defaults by region. Try everything free for 7 days, then continue with a single affordable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings โ†’ Apple Account โ†’ Subscriptions.

About

CaffCutoff

Features
Read full description

CaffCutoff turns every coffee, tea, and cola into one number: how much caffeine is still in your body right now, and the latest time for your next cup that still lets you sleep. Log a drink in seconds from a built-in database of real caffeine amounts, then watch it fade. CaffCutoff applies the same first-order decay your body uses, across every drink you have had, so the number on your home screen is always current. WHAT YOU GET - Caffeine on board: a live total of the caffeine still in your system, updated minute by minute - Decay curve: see the rest of your day, hour by hour, as the caffeine clears - Daily total: your intake against a general safe-limit reference, with a clear under, close, or over reading - Drinks database: coffee, espresso, tea, energy drinks, soda, and more, with honest milligram amounts - Your bedtime cutoff (Pro): set your bedtime and how sensitive your sleep is, and CaffCutoff solves for the latest time to have your next drink and still be under your threshold at lights out - Projected at bedtime (Pro): how much caffeine you will still have on board when you turn in - Cutoff reminder (Pro): an optional local alert at your cutoff time, so you never miss last call - Custom drinks (Pro): save the drinks you actually order to your own library - Caffeine report (Pro): a clean PDF plus a CSV of your recent days, daily totals, peak levels, and every logged drink, to keep or share TUNE IT TO YOU Set your own daily limit, your bedtime, your sleep sensitivity, and the caffeine half-life the math uses. The numbers follow your body, not a generic average. FREE AND LIFETIME Free covers the whole tracker: logging, the live amount on board, the decay curve, your daily total, and your full history. One lifetime purchase unlocks your bedtime cutoff time, the cutoff reminder, custom drinks, and the PDF and CSV report. Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription. INFORMATIONAL, NOT MEDICAL CaffCutoff is a caffeine tracker, not a medical device. The safe limit and half-life are general references for healthy adults; the right amount for you can be lower. It estimates, never diagnoses. Talk to a professional about your own caffeine and sleep. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you log stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking.
