Water Tracker for Dummies

A tap-only water tracker with a smarter daily routine coach.

Tap a drink size and Water Tracker for Dummies handles the math. Log a Glass, Mug, Water Bottle, Tumbler, Large Bottle, or Gallon Jug instantly, or open the beverage catalog to log any drink in any container size. See your day in ounces, milliliters, or cups, track a goal, and keep a real long-term history. Version 1.5 adds Hydration Rhythm, a local review of timing consistency with an Evenness Score, front/even/back-loaded pattern labels, dry-stretch detection, and 7- or 30-day context. Everything stays on your device.

Tap any drink

Six quick drink-size buttons plus a bundled catalog of 45+ beverages, from water and coffee to milk, sports drinks, and more.

On-device reminders

Gentle hydration nudges across your day, scheduled locally on your iPhone. No server and no account required.

Goal calculator

Get a recommended daily target from your body weight, activity level, and climate, with the formula and sources shown in the app.

Beverage hydration index

Optionally weight each drink by how much fluid your body tends to retain, using a catalog based on a peer-reviewed study.

Charts & calendar

7-day, 30-day, and 12-month trend charts plus a goal-met calendar heatmap, backed by long-term local history.

oz / mL / cups

Read and log in the unit you prefer. Totals, goals, and container sizes all follow your choice.

Routine coach

See whether today's pace is ahead, steady, behind, or complete, plus the next practical sip window based on your goal and reminder schedule.

Color note

Save an 8-shade personal color observation for the day. It is a wellness journal cue, not a diagnosis or medical test.

Quick Add

Log a custom water amount in seconds without opening the beverage catalog. Pick a shortcut or type any amount; it logs and closes automatically.

All-Time Insights

See your personal best single day, all-time longest goal streak, overall daily average, goal hit rate, and a day-of-week bar chart showing when you hydrate best.

Past-day entry

Forgot to log a glass yesterday? Open any day in the history, tap the + button, and add missed drinks — quick-tap sizes, custom amounts, or catalog beverages. The day's total updates instantly.

Catch-Up Advisor

When you're behind pace, a card on the main screen shows exactly how many sips you need and how often to drink them to reach your goal before your sleep time.

Consecutive goal weeks

A new stat in All-Time Insights counts how many calendar weeks in a row your daily average has met or beat your goal — a longer-horizon view of your consistency.

Edit & export

Delete any individual entry from today or a past day, and export a JSON or CSV backup you can re-import.

Local and private

No account, no cloud sync, no ads, and no analytics. Your data never leaves your device unless you export it yourself.

The goal calculator, routine coach, color note, and hydration index are educational estimates based on published guidelines (NASM, Cleveland Clinic, and the beverage hydration index study by Maughan et al., American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2016).
