Strict Water Reminder: Hydrate

Proof-based water reminders

Only for iPhone

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

iPhone

Most apps send a notification. You tap dismiss. Nothing changes. Hydrate is built differently — Strict Mode requires real proof before you can move on. You know you need to drink more water. So why don't you? Dehydration isn't a knowledge problem — it's a habit problem. The failure isn't willpower either: water apps simply make dismissal too easy. A banner appears, your thumb flicks it away, and your body is still waiting for water. Habit science is clear: behaviour change needs friction at the point of resistance. Hydrate adds exactly that. HOW IT WORKS • A reminder fires on your schedule — interval or custom times • In Strict Mode it takes over the screen and won't dismiss with a swipe • Show your glass, cup, or bottle to the camera — detection happens on-device • Or type a short hydration fact to prove you engaged • Your glass is logged, the next reminder is scheduled, and the habit builds WHAT'S INSIDE • Photo-proof verification (on-device — images never leave your phone) • Strict Mode: full-screen reminders with no easy way out • Escape Lock: optionally block your chosen apps until you log a drink (Screen Time, fully self-imposed, reversible anytime) • Morning bottle-fill check-in • Daily goal with a beautiful monthly heatmap of every glass • Reminders that arrive on time — no account, no server, works offline PRIVACY FIRST No account. No analytics. Your logs and photos stay on your device. Clear all data anytime from Settings. PRICING Try Strict Mode free for 7 days — no payment needed. Then unlock with Hydrate Yearly ($19.99/year, auto-renews, cancel anytime) or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($49.99). Basic reminders stay free.
