DrinkUp

Drink enough water. Without thinking about it.

DrinkUp works out how much you actually need — from your weight, activity and how long you are awake — then reminds you only at the moments that make sense. One tap logs a glass.

Features

Everything a water tracker needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

No streak guilt, no social feed, no paywall on the daily basics. DrinkUp does one job and then gets out of your way.

A goal that is actually yours

Weight, activity, awake hours and meal times make one number — 3 212 mL for a 72 kg day — instead of the same flat two litres for everybody.

Reminders inside your day

Nudges only between waking up and going to bed, spaced around your meals. Snooze one, or log “Drank it” straight from the notification.

One tap to log

Cup, glass, takeaway or bottle — or type an exact amount. The ring on the home screen moves the moment you tap.

Twelve drinks, counted honestly

Tea, coffee, juice, milk, even a beer. Each counts for what it is really worth — coffee at 80%, wine at 20% — so the total is not a fiction.

Your week at a glance

What you drank and when, day by day, with the days you hit your goal marked. Enough to spot the afternoon you always forget.

A widget on your home screen

Today’s ring and a one-tap add, without opening the app. Themed to match the rest of your launcher.

How it works

Set up once. After that it is one tap.

No sign-up, no onboarding maze. You can be tracking in under a minute.

  1. DrinkUp: Tell it about you
    1

    Tell it about you

    Six short questions — weight, how much you move, when you wake up and go to sleep, when you eat. Under a minute, and no account.

  2. DrinkUp: Get your number
    2

    Get your number

    DrinkUp works the goal out and shows exactly where it came from. Change anything later and it recalculates on the spot.

  3. DrinkUp: Drink, then tap once
    3

    Drink, then tap once

    A reminder arrives, you drink, you tap. The ring fills, the week fills in, and that is the entire routine.

Screens

A quiet interface you can read at 3 a.m.

Soft blues, one accent, nothing blinking. Every screen does one thing, and the numbers are always the first thing you see.

Privacy

What you drink never leaves your phone.

DrinkUp has no server of its own, nothing to sign into and nothing to sync. What you log is stored on the device and disappears with the app. The only things sent anywhere on their own are usage statistics — which screens are opened, never what or how much you drink — and, if you buy Pro, the purchase, which goes through Google Play.

Health Connect and backup files are the only two doors your drinks can leave by — and you are the one who opens them.

  • Nothing to sign up for, so there is nothing to breach.

  • Every figure is worked out and kept on the device. Airplane mode changes nothing.

  • Usage statistics count screens, never your profile, your drinks or anything from Health Connect. Crash logs stay on the phone unless you send us a report.

  • Water is written there after you grant it, and Android lets you take that back at any time.

  • Export a snapshot, keep it wherever you like, restore it on the next phone.
