Log water straight from the notification
The gap between “I should drink something” and a logged glass should be one tap. Every Sippy reminder carries its own buttons for exactly that.
Use them
- When the reminder appears, press and hold it — or pull it down on the Lock Screen.
- Two buttons appear: “💧 Drank 150ml” and “💧 Drank 250ml”, or whatever your two smallest cup sizes are.
- Tap one. The drink is logged, the notification goes away, and the app never opens.
Change what the buttons offer
The buttons follow the two smallest of your four cup sizes, so set those to the glass and mug you reach for most. Settings › Cup sizes; the new amounts appear on the next reminder.
What happens after you tap
- The drink counts toward today immediately, with the time you tapped.
- The rest of the day is replanned — no pace nudge for the next 45 minutes, and none at all if that glass finished your goal.
- Your widgets and your Apple Watch pick it up.
- If Apple Health sync is on, it goes to Health as dietary water.
FAQ
- I drank a different amount — does it matter?
- Only if you want the record exact. Tap the nearest button now and correct it later in Today’s log, or open the app and use + for the real amount.
- Why can't I see the buttons?
- They are hidden until you press and hold the notification, or pull it down. On the Lock Screen, swipe left on it and choose Options.
- Does it work from the Apple Watch?
- The reminder is forwarded to the watch like any iPhone notification, and the watch app has its own logging buttons.
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.
Drink water, grow cute cats
Sippy nudges you only when you are behind, logs a glass in one tap from the Lock Screen, and grows a cat farm — or a tiny forest — as the goal days add up. Free, no ads, and nothing leaves your iPhone.
