Drinky
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most water apps are a chore. Drinky isn't. Open it, tap a cup, done. Your daily ring fills with a living water animation, and gentle reminders keep you on track for the rest of the day. It's built native for iPhone and Apple Watch, so your hydration is always in sight: on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, on a Home Screen widget, and right on your wrist. Most of the time you can log a glass without even opening the app. WHY PEOPLE STICK WITH DRINKY • Logging takes one tap. Four quick-add cups cover the sizes you actually drink. • Your goal is yours. A 30-second setup personalizes it from your age, weight, and activity level. • Progress you can feel. The water gauge rises with every sip and celebrates when you hit your goal. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK • Live Activity on the Lock Screen shows your ring all day, with a log button built in. • The Home Screen widget is interactive: tap it and the water is logged, no app launch needed. • The Apple Watch app works on its own, with haptic feedback and a watch face complication. • iCloud keeps iPhone and Watch perfectly in sync. REMINDERS THAT DON'T ANNOY YOU Sensible defaults out of the box, a live preview of exactly when you'll hear from us, and nothing outside your waking hours. APPLE HEALTH Every glass you log lands in Apple Health automatically. Your health data is never used for advertising. Ever. DRINKY PREMIUM For $6.99 a month, or $39.99 a year with a 3-day free trial, Premium unlocks: • Smart goal: your target adjusts itself using your weight and today's workouts from Apple Health • Streaks, 30-day averages, and monthly trend charts • Custom daily goals and custom amounts • Your own reminder hours and frequency • Coffee, tea, juice and more, each with its real hydration value • CSV export of your full history • Zero ads Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
