Gulp: Hydration App Blocker
Hydrate to unlock your apps
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Meet Axel. He stands in front of the apps that eat your day until you drink some water. Pick your apps, set a goal, log a glass, and unlock Pro once to keep it forever.
Gulp turns your water goal into a screen-time gate: drink first, scroll later.
Meet Axel, the axolotl who guards your apps. Open something you've gated and Axel is there instead, waiting for you to drink.
Choose the apps that usually pull your attention away, set a daily hydration goal, and let Gulp keep those distractions blocked until you make progress. Log a glass, unlock your apps, and get back to your day with a simple habit loop that is easy to understand.
How Gulp works:
1. Set your daily water goal
2. Pick apps and categories with Apple's Screen Time picker
3. Log water as you drink
4. Unlock selected apps when you hit your hydration target or active unlock window
What you can do with Gulp:
- Block distracting apps until your water goal is done
- Select individual apps or whole categories
- Track daily hydration progress and streaks
- Review your unlock history and weekly trends
- Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
- Get reminders when you are falling behind
- Use light, dark, or system appearance
- Keep app selections private on device
Gulp is built for people who want real accountability without a complicated habit system. Drink water, unlock your apps, and move on.
Some features require Apple Screen Time authorization. Health sync is optional and uses Apple Health only with your permission. Gulp is not a medical app and does not provide medical advice.
Gulp Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks the full experience forever. No subscription or recurring charge.

Meet Axel, the axolotl who guards your apps. Gulp has a new look throughout, including a redesigned app icon and a friendlier lock screen. Setting up your gated apps is clearer, and Screen Time permission now explains itself before asking.
