HOW WE'VE STARTED - OUT STORY

In 2024, deep in the flow of code, caffeine, and muted notifications, a builder hit pause.

His desk had everything — a polished water bottle, ergonomic chair, dual monitors glowing in harmony — yet he wasn't drinking enough water. Why? Because reminders were muted, and flow-state was sacred. Until dehydration struck back.

So he built TakeSip.

A quiet little app that shimmered in beautiful colors and glowed like a ripple across a lake at dusk — visual and sound nudges based on neuroscience. Not noisy. Not naggy. Just... gentle. A liquid glass on your desktop, glowing every now and then like it cared.

Within 24 hours of launch, TakeSip rose to the top 2 in macOS Health & Fitness. No marketing tricks. Just a real problem solved, beautifully.

Soon, designers, developers, writers, and night owls across the world were taking that sip.

Not because they had to.
Because TS reminded them to. Softly.

And in 2025, when "liquid UI" and "ambient health tech" became buzzwords, creator of TakeSip app was already sipping.

With TakeSip, a simple macOS app, remembering to take a water break is easier than ever. Our app reminds you to take a sip regularly, helping you maintain good hydration habits effortlessly.

JOIN THIS STYLISH MADNESS! STAY HYDRATED AND HEALTHY.

A very simple and best reminder

Very simple app. Does the job. I understand that there are many apps that gives you all gimmics about the water profile and everything and charge money from you. But if you think of all of those apps, we just want someone to remind us to drink water every now and then.

I love this app. Free to use and very simple UI

Developer Response ,

Thank you, dear Hariramprasath! Stay healthy and hydrated. Share with your friends, this will help sharing the healthy habit of water-drinking! :-)

Drink even if you’re not thirsty

And…I use the simple reminder to also just take a break—simply stand or even take a short walk. Win/Win.

Developer Response ,

Thanks a lot for the stars, Lindy! Means a world to us! Stay healthy and have a great festive season. Thanks for your support!

Great until the pop up harassment started

For whatever reason, it will not stop asking me every few minutes to upgrade. It’s become so distracting I can’t use the app anymore. The support email doesn’t work. I only have the option to remove it if I don’t want to be interrupted every few minutes.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for all yours stars, MysticalKiwi! We don’t manage the upgrades, it is done by AppStore when they see you have not the latest version. Or you are talking about upgrade to Premium? If that’s the case indeed - we offer a freemium first two weeks and then you have to pay. Otherwise feel free to stop using the app. You can contact us on water@takesip.com if you think it is technical issue. But if you just don’t want to pay to support the app development, sure, we understand, 2 stars is all you have for us :-) We never wanted to harass you. Uninstall the app, if you were thinking it is a free cheese. But still, stay hydrated and healthy! Best wishes, Mystical Kiwi.

Also try updating the app. If you have it purchased, there should be no problems.
