Hydration is more than reaching a number. Gulpo helps you understand the pace behind it. The pace line shows where you could be by now, so you can see at a glance whether you’re on track, ahead, or falling behind. Tap it to see exactly how much. Log the way that feels natural. Manually choose a beverage and amount, say what you drank and how much all at once, or point the camera at your drink. Carry a bottle? It gets even easier. Just tell Gulpo how much of it you finished. Save the drinks you reach for often, from your morning glass to your desk mug, so they’re always close by. However the drink happened, there’s probably a quick way to log it. Now you’ve got one less excuse not to log :) Coffee, tea, milk, juice, smoothies and more all contain water. Gulpo accounts for the water in each drink instead of treating everything as plain water. Some days need more water than others too, so weather, workouts and details you choose to share through Apple Health can help Gulpo adjust your daily goal. There’s no Gulpo account and no sign-up. Your data stays on your devices and can sync through your own iCloud account. Gulpo doesn’t need to know who you are to know how much you drank. Gulpo Reserve is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings.

Stretch

Stretch is a simple way to follow your stretching and mobility routine without constantly checking notes, counting seconds or trying to remember what comes next. Choose one of the included routines, pick a workout and work through it at your own pace. Stretch shows you each exercise, set and side, with clear instructions and built-in timers for holds. There’s a short countdown before each timer begins, so you have time to get into position. The app includes three routines to get you started: • Beginner’s Stretch — an approachable full-body routine with gradually longer holds • Toe Touch Foundations — three sessions focused on building the mobility and control needed for a more comfortable toe touch • Stretch with Strength — a mix of active mobility, controlled strength and relaxed stretching Already have a routine you like? You can use your preferred AI assistant to convert it into a format Stretch understands, then paste it into the app. Everything is checked before you save it, and nothing is uploaded. Stretch also works with Apple Watch. Start a workout on your iPhone, then follow along from your wrist. You can complete exercises, run timers and move through the routine without keeping your phone nearby. If you allow access to Apple Health, completed flexibility workouts can be saved alongside your other activity. On Apple Watch, you can also see your heart rate and active energy during a workout. Your progress is saved automatically, so if you close the app halfway through a session, you can come back and carry on where you left off. A simple history shows your completed workouts, duration and number of steps finished. There’s no account to create, no advertising and no analytics. Your routines and workout history stay on your devices. Stretch is intended for general fitness and wellbeing. If an exercise causes pain or discomfort, stop and seek advice from a qualified professional.
