Hydrate or Diedrate

Drink water. Avoid doom.

Most hydration apps send cheerful little droplets to remind you to drink water. This one sends the skull. A no-nonsense water tracker with a dark sense of humor, a vintage medical illustration aesthetic, and notifications that read like official dehydration notices.

The vessel requires water

You already knew that.

The status system

Your hydration, tracked like a case file.

Every percentage of your daily goal maps to a status. It climbs as you drink and recedes as the day goes on. The skull is watching either way.

What's in it

Track water. Take it seriously. Enjoy it anyway.

Daily water goal

Set a goal in ounces or milliliters. Everything else in the app is built around getting you to it.

Fast-log servings

8, 12, 16, or 24 oz presets, plus a custom amount. Logging a glass takes one tap.

Reminders with gravity

Local notifications on a fixed schedule that treat dehydration as the serious clerical matter it is. No cheerful mascots.

Streak tracking

Consecutive days you hit your goal, counted plainly. No badges, no confetti — just the number.

Daily history

Look back on any day's intake and see exactly what was logged and when.

All on-device

No account, no sign-in, no server. Your log stays on your phone. Delete the app and it's gone with it.

FAQ

A few quick answers.

Do I need an account?

No. The app works without sign-in, registration, or a cloud profile. Your log stays on your device.

Why does it want Health access?

Only if you enable Health sync (a Preserved feature). It writes your logged water to Apple Health — it does not read your existing Health data.

What does Preserved unlock?

Health sync, full streak history, extra status insights, dark mode, the full notification archive, alternate app icons, and widgets — via a single lifetime purchase.
