Good morning — a glass with Mochi
💧 Drank 250 ml
12:30
Lunch is coming up
💧 Drank 350 ml
16:00
You are a little behind
💧 Drank 500 ml
Three nudges, three taps — and nothing after 21:00.
A water app that knows when to keep quiet
Nudges, not nagging
A glass when you wake up and before meals, and otherwise only when you are actually behind. Reach the goal and the reminders stop for the day.
One tap to log
Four cup buttons set to your own glasses — and buttons on the reminder itself, so a glass is logged from the Lock Screen without opening anything.
A goal that fits you
Built from EFSA's guidance for water from drinks, then adjusted for activity, heat, pregnancy, breastfeeding and, if you like, your weight.
Cats, or a tiny forest
Thirty goal days — in total, not in a row — and a new kitten or sapling is born. Nobody ever dies, and a missed day takes nothing away.
Forgiving streaks
Half your goal keeps the streak. A freeze covers a day you miss, a rest day covers one you plan, and the weekly challenge asks for five days, not seven.
Everywhere you are
Widgets with log buttons, a Control Center control, Siri, an Apple Watch app, and two-way Apple Health sync.
Something to come back for
A gift after each goal day with a sourced hydration tip, accessories and stickers to collect, decorations that unlock as the days add up.
Nothing leaves your phone
No account, no server, no iCloud, no ads and no tracking. The App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected.
Two minutes to set up, one tap a glass
- 1
Pick cats or trees
Choose what you are looking after, set the hours you are awake, and check the goal Sippy suggests for you.

Log a glass
Tap a cup — in the app, on a widget, from the reminder, through Siri or on your watch. One tap, and the farm reacts.
- 3
Watch it grow
Each goal day brings a gift. Thirty of them bring a new companion. Nothing is ever taken away.
Private by design
There is no server to send your day to
No account, no sign-in, no iCloud sync, no ads and no analytics inside the app. Your drinks, your goal and your companions live in Sippy's own storage on your iPhone, and the only copy that leaves it is a backup file you make yourself.
Read the privacy policy →The promise that matters
Nothing you have earned can be taken away
Companions never die. A missed day never wipes your progress. Half your goal still keeps your streak, and a freeze covers the rest. The app is built to be easy to come back to.

Guides
Setting up reminders that actually arrive, step by step.
How to set a water reminder on your iPhone
Pick cats or trees, set the hours you are awake, check the suggested goal and log a first glass — and your iPhone starts nudging you, but only when you are behind.
Set your daily water goal
Keep the suggestion Sippy works out from your own details, or set your own number — and see which of the two a day was judged against afterwards.
Log a glass of water in one tap
The four cup buttons on the Today screen, the custom amount, the drink picker, and undoing a tap you did not mean.
Cats or trees: pick what you are looking after
A cat farm or a little forest, the drawing style your cats are born in, their names and personalities — and how to switch themes without losing a thing.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Sippy free?
- Yes. Every hydration feature is free, with no ads: reminders, logging, the goal, stats, streaks, widgets, the Apple Watch app, Apple Health and backups. Sippy Premium is a one-time purchase that unlocks cosmetics — accessories, decorations and rare coats — and nothing else.
- How often will it remind me?
- At most seven times a day, or about four on Gentle. One when you wake up, one 30 minutes before each meal, and the rest only when you are at least 200 ml behind an even pace. Nothing in the two hours before bed, and nothing once you have reached the goal.
- Do tea, coffee and milk count?
- Yes, in full. Tea, coffee and milk hydrate about as well as water (Maughan et al., 2016), and juice and soup count too. Alcohol is deliberately not on the list.
- What happens if I miss a day?
- Very little. Half the goal still keeps your streak, a freeze covers a missed day, and your companions never die or disappear. You lose that day's goal, nothing else.
- Does it sync to the cloud?
- No. There is no account and no server — everything stays on your iPhone. You move to a new phone with a backup file you make and keep yourself.
- Which languages does it support?
- English and Vietnamese, following the language your iPhone is set to.
Sippy is a reminder and a record of what you drink, not medical advice. Its suggested goal follows published guidance for healthy adults, and the app is for ages 14 and up. If you have heart, kidney or liver disease, low blood sodium, take diuretics, or have been told to limit fluids, ask your doctor before setting a goal.
